Its was at Stoneleigh and in Complete kit car last month as a breif.
I really like the idea of that as always wanted an RS200 and currently have the correct MR2 for it, but from looking at the pictures some bits put me
off, have a look at the one with the drivers door open and see you can spot what I did.
Would be interesting to see it in person though, hopefully it will be at the Newark show.
There is another company doing an RS200 replica based on a Subaru Impreza.
I think that looks passable as a replica.

The RS200 is a cracking piece of design in my eyes - by far the best looking Group B car -

The old door is still there they just stick an out skin on it?
Looks alright and the car its based on isn't bad. I like the idea of a scoop based example though.

After the Quattro of course![]()
Not fans of the BX4TC?
Interesting project.
is it basically a bodykit?
as there are so few originals about very few people will know that the interior is wrong.
What Mr2 is the car based on? Pics?
What years were the originals made - would be good to get a donor of the same year. i guess the next obvious question would be o identify if the donor
had any major flaws and opportunities for tuning.
it's a Mk 3 isn't it? they made the RS200's in the early 80's so you won't get a matching year.
If you want to see a real one, and your passing through Tenterden, Mark Lilly's diesels used to have one in the show room which is probably still
there.

It has to be said that this is one of the very few occasions where the donor vehicle interior is infinitely preferable to the original
wish there were chassis plans like for the locost =)
That's my old Mr2. I v6'd it.
Do like the conversion.
Citroen bx all the way...
I just don't see the point to be honest. Replica cars rarely look right and if you owned it you would always know it was a fake. What's the
purpose? Not the real thing, no history, not the same performance. Its like the fake lambos and Ferraris, the first question anyone will ask is
"is it a replica?" And you will have to say yes with your head bowed. If you buy cars for what others think they are going to laugh. If you
buy cara for how they feel its always going to feel a fraud.
Maybe just me.
