On my way to school in the late 80's I used to pass a 6R4 [road going] parked outside a knitwear shop in Macclesfield! It was rude then!
At the same time my mum bought a new escort [oh yes] from Omc. In the showroom they had an RS200 which was £20k something at the time and a games console with F1 cars wired up to an XR2!
Happy days

£20K for an RS200 was very cheap even then. The road-going RS200, Sport quattro, Delta S4, 6R4 and Pug 205T16 were originally on sale for about £40K when new. They took a while to shift though. The Metro was the worst, I remember them being offered for well under £20K: in fact Performance Car tested them all in 1987 and reckoned that some 6R4's were sold for as little as £12K! The one everyone forgets is the ungainly Group B Citroen BX4TC: they were offered for a realistic £21K when new. For this you got a perfectly usable, reasonably quick and well appointed 4 door family car with a difference. I only saw one when new in the car park at Le Mans in 1987. They were rubbish at rallying though!

There's a UK RS200 owner with a website which lists the worldwide whereabouts of many of the "standard" and "Evo" cars, some of which have latterly been converted to Evo spec. I can't find the link though.

. It was sold to him as a box of bits though, and he had to get it rebuilt.

I think there were 21 - 24 or so Evos (most of which seem to be for sale!). Each manufacturer was entitled to build a minimum of 20 Evo models with fancy bespoke competition parts (=10% of min. 200 production run required for Group B homologation).

I used to help run the RS Owners Club in the nineties, and these were the facts that I recall - but I could be mistaken.
