Here you go - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ford-rs200-rs2...QQcmdZViewItem

Im not commenting cos i've no idea how much a replica is worth Wouldn't mind a shot of it though

Heres the pics for the lazy sods that can't be bothered to click the link







ps. is there a reason why it's being sold just before the MOT (Dec 2005) or is that nothing?

He wrote this in the auction description so im guessing it is:

THIS IS FOR A REPLICA

RS200

IT WAS COPIED FROM

A GENUINE 200

BODY REVERSE MOLDED

AND SPACE FRAME COPIED

IT HAS A VERY TUNED

COSWORTH 2WD

ENGINE

just says greys and 15lb but must go well as the power to weight ratio must be good for a little car like that,went out in a stage 3 replica rs200 and i shit myself,, felt twice as fast as a cossie with the same power

For the blind idiots among you, that looks like a Rover V8 engine in there (well its single cam as plugs are on the side, and non turbo, and that looks like a standard rover injection inlet you can see), NOT a bloody YB, so its not always been cossie'd....

The reason it doesn't look quite right in the photos is down to the wheel offset - it is not low enough, so the wheels sit too far in under the arches....
