At the end of the Group B era all the roadgoing 6R4's built for homologation purposes ( clubman spec cars )were sold off for around £13K IIRC.


An RS200 is the only rally car I've ever been in that had straps to put your feet in on the co-drivers foot rest so that under acceleration your legs didn't fly up which could be abit interesting if you had your pacenote book on your lap

Are you having a laugh dude. Colin Greer held the World Record 0-60 time in the car.

A total of 24 of the 200 original cars were converted to "Evolution" specification, mostly marked by their owners as "E" or "E2" types. Ford's first intention was to mark the FIA-required 20 "Evo" cars as series numbers 201 to 220 but as this was actually not necessary according to the FIA rules they later kept their original series numbers (e.g. 201 = 012, 202 = 146, 203 = 174, and so on).

This RS200 Evolution is probably the most famous of all. It is the 22nd of only 24 Evos built and set the 0-60 record in 1994 at 3.07s, a record it held for 12 years. This was documented at the time by the Guinness Book of Records. Even the mighty McLaren F1 failed to de-throne this car. Originally built for King Hussein of Jordan, the car was deemed to dangerous for him and was therefore sold to Alan Fenwick in the UK, who was founder of the RS200 Owners Club. The current owner purchased the car in 1995, becoming only the second owner from new.

In 2003 the car had a no expense spared engine refresh, and now generates 700+bhp on the dyno. The engine work was carried out by Harvey Gibb at Specialist Engine Services and the full specification includes:

2.1 litre BDT-E block, full dry sump, balanced steel crank, balanced and crack-tested rods, full engine stud kit, balanced forged Cosworth pistons.
Group A steel head gasket, BVH enlarged over standard EVO spec, custom cam profiles, DFV valve spring and rocker arms, adjustable vernier pulleys.
Pectel T6 ECU, two Group A high pressure fuel pumps, Holley low pressure fuel pump, RS200 EVO cast allow plenum, 8 Cosworth Motorsport 'blue' injectors - staggered injector firing system, rising rate Ford Motorsport fuel regulator.
T4 hybrid turbo @ 2.4 bar.
Bilstein adjustable coil-overs, magnesium uprights, fully rose-jointed suspension, adjustable roll bars.
X-Trac transmission.
3 x 9 inch LDS diffs with magnesium housing.

With only 2 owners from new, the car is described as being in superb condition, and comes with an extensive collection of RS200 documentation including original press packs and customer RS200 sales packs, owners' clubs magazines, magazine articles and hundreds of rare photographs covering all aspects of RS200 development.

The power delivery and the raw nature of a straight cut gearbox are not for the faint hearted, and really there is nothing to match the experience. For the motorsports enthusiast this represent a once in a lifetime opportunity that really can not be missed.

Estimate: £100,000 - £130,000

This car will be auctioned by Coys of Kensington during their forthcoming sale at the Autosport Show, 15th January 2011 at the NEC in Birmingham.

For more details please contact the Coys Auction Department on 020 8614 7888 or visit us online at www.coys.co.uk
