Saw a brand spanker rs200 a few years back on the M1 services, it was on a trailer and just won a concours compo. It was mint, and it was a real one.

Awesome!
I saw that clarkson vid where he drives the RS200 and ive never seen anything so mental - needless to say he wiped out and ended up in the grass.

I love the RS200

People may laugh but i also love the Metro 6R4 those are still rapid!!!

The lancia delta integrale is also a very sexy car and i am so tempted to "invest" (thats what i tell the Mrs) in a group B rally car

Default cossie

simply stunning....after the esc cos this is my fav car by far. some how all the rice burners just fade away when up against classic fords like these...

on the rs owners club site there is a download of the 80's touring cars at birmingham....500+ bhp rs500's duking it out, gravett, bristow and co it is mega.

quite like the mk2 xr2 with the late model rs2000 polished 5 spokes on too in the background (ive had three of those model xr2's)

Andy, didn't you get the xr8 in the states? I believe that was an xr4i uk spec car, but with a 5.0 V8 mustang motor up front...

Jimmy, how can you not like saff's?
This belonged to a pal on mine:



And this is how a RS500 should look...

you are right about it being an uprated xr4i....it had a tremec gearbox which andy rouse used in his touring rs500 too.

lee dont feel bad about the 6r4...i love them. how can you are argue with mid engine v6 twin turbo mid engined car??

I prefered the Whale tail as well, but it was getting more and more difficult to find a clean one when I got mine, so ended up with a sapphire, this was prior to selling it to buy a Scenic to carry the kids about , sterilisation isn't such a bad thing really, when you think about it !!!
