The Patrick Collection Delta S4 was a red road going car & it was never painted in Martini colours during our ownership because the boss insisted on originality.
It was still red when sold by Bonhams & always was red as far as i know.
I visited that a loong time back and, apropos of this thread, I remember they also had a red Audi quattor sport (SWB) too.It was still red when sold by Bonhams & always was red as far as i know.
We had what was, at the time, the best collection of Group B cars anywhere in the world as we owned at least one of every Group B car that was ever produced including the truly awful, ugly, Citroen BX 4TC.
The Sport Quattro was my personal favourite & i was lucky enough to drive it many times.

Is it just me or is the sound very quiet on that video?
its not just you. every Harris vid I have watched always has the volume too low even with my PCs settings on max.anyways..........love the red bound tiller. always liked the shape and even today i think that basicshape with some new fangled headlights would be a real seller. Pity Ford dont look at an all new type of low slung sports car like the RS200 but to modern standards, no rattling trim or clonking mechanicals etc.
That steering looks god damn heavy.....no assistance I presume.
I am with Chris - I too always associated the 200 with the cossie 2 litre lump - i didnt know it was a BDT 1.8
and interesting to learn about the engine sending drive forwards for the gearbox to then send some of it back to the rear wheels! it doesnt sound very logical at first but it works.
of the two i prefer the RS even if that doesnt have the groundbreaking kudos of the Audi. I hate the Audi shape which is now very dated - whereas its quite the opposite with the RS.
Great video (as usual - but Chris, turn the sound up man!)

Loved watching Harris repeatedly stalling the RS200.
Makes me feel less bad about stalling eight times in a row the one and only time I drove one.
I think everybody did because they had 'Paddle' Clutches which don't slip too well as they are either engaged or not. Mine certainly did, and it was a bleeding nightmare at traffic lights especially when you had a fireblade behind you and wanted to prove a point !!Makes me feel less bad about stalling eight times in a row the one and only time I drove one.
