RS200 for sale

Legendary Group B car in as-new condition

---

Just 540 miles on the clock

Usually, a Ford RS200 coming up for sale is cause for excitement around here, so when it’s an example that has barely left hibernation for 15 years and clocked up a mere 540 miles, then we’re temporarily lost in a mental fog of heavily boosted BDTs and flame-strewn gearshifts.

With C61 SAO, the vendor has documentation from constructors Mike Little Preparations to suggest that this is perhaps the last RS200 built. It was apparently a special order for Sir Douglas Hall – chairman of Newcastle United Football club at the time – and then remained in his private collection.

Don't expect this to drive like a Scooby...

Quite how you could own this creation and then clock up such a tiny mileage during all those years remains a mystery to us.

Nevertheless, the debate here now, surrounds whether to leave it pristine and standard, or head off in the pursuit of power. Looks like the ‘ears’ are already there, after all…

If you’re interested, give Drew Wheeler or Simon Bartlett a call on 01428 653924

Douglas Hall and Fat Freddie both own cars they have never even sat in.
