thanks richard,

I think they might be called RS Automotive now. 01702 299517

 

I don't know if Mercury are still going, but banmoco have bought the original tooling for the rs200, and do a kit car version of it - banham200.

The bad bit is that it is based on a maestro, so is front wheel drive

Their web site is:

 

thanks guys especially andrew who hit the nail square on the head.

Which engine option are you going for??

WooHo Another RS200 owner on the BBS.. We should apply for our own forum

KaRa used to do one too, based on Sierra Cosworth mechanicals - 2WD or 4WD.

 

i'm either going to use a yb cosworth engine or a small block chevy that a customer of mine has just removed from a pro street hot rod that pushes out a proven 460 bhp but i will probably be swayed by that great rush you get from a turbooooooooo.
either way it's going to be bast4rd quick!!

Especially as the wastegate is right behind you right ear

I have an orginal full workshop manual which may be of help for some layout issues etc.

Let me know if you need bits of it photocopying.

S600BYY,
Interested in knowing a little more about this s/b chevy motor, if its for sale...and if you don't want it...

Can you mail me?

cheers
Andrew

 

some lay outs would be cool and if anyone could provide photos of a REAL 200 i would be very greatful as i don't want to build a copy with my own adaptations,i want it to be as close as a replica can be..
as for s/b chevy sales i will be glad to let you have the guys phone number if i take the yb route

Mark.

A good place to get photos of real RS200 willl be the Ford RSOC national day at Donnington on 19th August. There were 14 or 15 at last years meet.

Hopefully mine will be there.

Richard
