Meh - I'd want a real one for that money

Still, at least it aint one of those metro based 'replicas'.

dazzx10r - 29/3/10 at 07:55 PM

you would need about £120k for a real one!

Seems fair money to me for what he's offering.

Doubt it would be much to drive but I've heard of MG based ones with back seats and a rear hatch which make for a very usable car.

This is a proper space-frame chassis based car, the only donor bits being the cosworth engine, should be a good for a reliable 300bhp. The original cars engines were 1800 cosworth bd's and 250bhp with the evolution car going upto 600bhp!. I remember ford selling them off in the 80's at £55k plus a spares package. The prettiest of the group B super rally cars? I think so.

Considering your circle of friends, is that also you GT40 in your avatar? If so do you have any more pictures?

hicost blade - 30/3/10 at 09:16 AM

No my avatar is a Dulon LD6 designed by my father, it looks a bit like a kind of mini GT40 from around the same era and with its 1600 Lutus twin cam is faster than GT40's/Chevron B8's round Spa....Unfortunatly they only ever made one and I'm not rich enough to afford it

LOL - your mate's RS200 might break down less if he could live with only, say, 5-600 bhp - like those rally drivers had to make do with!

That's a very pretty car, looks very much like a GT40 from the side/top, but completely different from the front.
