Tasmin 200 Fixed Head Coupe's - Any more left?

[Tasmin200]

Ever since I bought my 200 Fixed Head Coupe in 2009 I’ve been kept an eye out for others of the same type.

Over the years I managed to put pictures to 8 of them. That’s 50% of the production.

Does anyone have details of any other 200 Coupe’s not listed here?

I don't know if mine (the racer) started out as a 2.0 or a 2.8 still trying to find more info about it when it was a car.

[Tasmin200]

I didn't know it was yours! It definitely got a 200 body. Does it have two sets of engine mounts?

not the racer above, this one. also the guy before me had a 2.0 cosworth turbo engine, so it had custom mounts.

Your black Fixed head looks like a 280 as it has twin fuel fillers. I take it you don't have a chassis number for it?

919Y is for sale over on FB at the moment.

No Chassis number I can find

so if it has twin fuel fillers then it was a 280, nice to know.

Not sure that is always true. My 280i has only one fuel filler.

Series 2 FHC shells have a single filler Marcus, all the Series 1's have twin fillers except the 200 which is odd.

Kev's car was a 280i originally , then modded to yb turbo, then the v8 you put in it

I had totally forgotten about this thread I started. Since 2016 another two cars have emerged.

PMA784Y Sorned



FEY717Y Sorned



Both being restored.

That's 10 cars out of 16 accounted for. The internet is a great thing.

Another one popped up on eBay last week. Unknown Chassis or reg but it's definitely a 200 (single petrol flapped body and double engine mount uprights in engine bay)

Great detective work

Richard Thorpe, (RidgeRacer off of here), bought a 200 FHC shortly before he moved from Bailey Street to RT Racings new place near Chrystal Peaks. I’ve no idea whatever happened to it? I’m guessing he sold it shortly before he did his final trip to America.

In fact I’ve no idea what happened to a lot of his toys once he’d passed away, except his motorbike he had over in the States.

From what I recall, it wasn’t one of the ones pictured in this thread.
