One of my fav cars of all time.

i wouldent mind 1 of them 2 really like these cars

crackin motor.

Ugly as fook imo. Ghia didnt half let themselves down on this one.

hmmmm not sure on the style but would put up with that for that sort of speed

It looks like a toy car ! lol

I cant take the piss.. i own a Fiesta ffs lol

lol I can imagine it as a remote control car now wiv an ariel stickin out at the back.

£99,995.00

Is that right for a Classified Ad Price? £99,995.00

you have to remember tho matty this is a road going rally car. an icon car of the 80's for ford people.

yeah the price is right they tend to go for 40k upwards

I dont care if it's an icon for the pope, its still ugly as fook. Give me a standard 80's Ford Sierra over it anyday (and I think they were ugly lol). The Audi Quattro on the other hand looked sweet as fook (as far as 80's cars go), so it proves a rally can be made to look great.

how is that ugly it was designed before you were born.

these cars are not about looks they are about balls out racing on gravel etc, look at the 0-60 on the car (ok 2.1 is a bit ott more like 2.9) but still that is quicker than the same powered scooby etc.

Bit exspensive imo you could get a porsche and a string of posh totty for that money lol

I dont get your point. There were cars designed years before this car, that had amazing looks, so I don't see how you can excuse sheer ugliness for its age...

Im not questioning the performance of the car or the fact it was a rally car, impo though it looks awful and there were plenty of rally cars from the same era that looked far better, so it cant "just" look bad because its a rally car.

This is were the young and old of cw see different.

Nothing against the young peps of cw but the rs 200 was the car of the day when the older pepes of cw where into the cars like the younger ones of us seem sto like the rs escort and cos.

I am a ford fan (shock i know) as my last couple of good cars where a bmw 325 xr4i amd s13 200sx.

And my fav cars in this order are

1. mk1 escort (any)
2. mk2 Escort (any)
3. rs500
4. rs200
5. escort cos
6. s13 200sx
7. xr4i.
8. r32 skyline (any)
9. r34 skyline again any
10. mk1 xr2

yer think tupac right well agree with that list as well mate defo the mk2 escort love them cars

I used to love these bad boys and the sierra rs500, i was a real 80's boy when it comes to cars, the golden age for alot of car design.

beast of a car, wheres me wallet, lol. good list too mate agree with all ur choices

Tony...i personally disagree...i think it depends solely on whether or not people know a good car when they see it..not from what they were brought up on....i fookin adore mk1 and mk2 escorts.....ok, my fave car is the old imprezas (k reg) but given the choice id have a mk2 over an impreza..as for the rs200...fantastic car, but its the only car in the world that scares the living crap outta me. however..i always preferred the metro 6r4s..simply cos of that lovely engine sound they make...wow

But your opinion of a good car probably differs from 99% of the population, so a car you consider to be a good car, doesnt mean that it is a good car because in your words you are one of the people who knows "a good car when you see it", its just your opinion.

There are plenty of people from the older generation who will argue the Morris Minor 1000 was good car, and that they know "good car when they see it", but it doesnt mean it nessescarily is, and certainly not that everyone should think it is, otherwise they don't know "a good car when theys ee it".

i do agree..i think i didnt make myself clear enough...everyone has theyre own opinion....performance wise the rs200 is incredible..but the styling is an aquired taste

All true peps.

The only prob with the r200 is the 50/50 drive making them hard to drive so to speak.

Forgot about the 6r4 they were and still are great cars.

It was the RS200 that was involved in the accident that got group B banned, though Im a little confused as to why they made an "Evolution" model so late after they where banned (Unless it was just registered late) (I also wonder if its an overbored 1.8 - as per to originals, or based on the 2.0 cosworth engine?)

The looks are more to suit the purpose than please the eye, monster car, monster power, but at £100k it'd be a serious club competition car.

My only fear is someone will buy it, stick it in a garage, take it for a trundle a few times a year to keep it moving, and trailer it to shows.

Its too much for a road car, but its a lot of money to be chucking round forest stages lol

the rs200 engine is a bdt engine not a cosworth
