Cool RS 200 in Stevenage the other day

Now i haven't seen one on the road for a while now and as i am traveling in very slow traffic on my way home i see one pull into the fuel station opposite me. It still looked fresh and modern. |I wish now i had pulled over and run across the road to have a good look.

Yes they are quite rare mate, not seen one for years & that was at an RS show! Was it genuine? I knew a guy who had a replica, was still mid engined with all the Cossi running gear & lump!

I saw one in Brighton last year parked up in a garage - the owner was washing it. Not sure if it was a replica or the real deal as i did not get up close but it sure did draw a crowd.

I remember an RS200 Evo that was built for Stig Blomqvist being for sale in the back of Motorsport News a few years ago. I think the asking price was around the £80k mark. I would've sold my mother for it.

They're a fantastic motor, I had a go in one when they first came out as we were spending a few quid at Fords. A real classic !

Saw that one a while back on the M11... still don't know if it was genuine or not.

Judging by the colour I'd say a replica Who cares though They look fantastic and as long they have a cosworth engine or something similar they fly

Yes, built by Trevor lewis, who used to work for TVR as a laminator. Top class work. I haven't seen Trevor for about 3 years now, but I did see his own scooby200??? during build, looked a bit of kit to say the least, based on an early Impreza RA.

He's ooop north, cI can't remember where, near Preston maybe. I think his company is called Rally Tech. Do a search and I'm sure you'll find it.

The Kara 420 is very good and very hard to spot that it is indeed a rep.
