Chassis SFACXXBJ2C??00005

I have always bought RS books and magazine, this car was pictured in Jeremey Waltons book "RS - The Faster Fords" ISBN 0-947981-21-7

I read and saw a picture of this car in the book on RS 200's published by unique motor books.

This car is seen on the front cover and page 216, I may scan the image one day.

June 2004 - I was in email conversation with the owner of #010 and they said they thought #005 was driven by Malcolm Wilson before being scrapped.

July 2004 - I found a photo here....

It can be seen in the video section.

May 2006 - I have been tidying up my millions of email messages and have to apologise to Klaus who sent me this info in January 2007 !!! - SORRY !

"Klaus here from Switzerland. I was recently browsing through my car magazines and came across an article from March 1986 featuring a road test of an RS200 and I thought you may be interested in the pictures so I scanned them for your site (attached).

The number plate of the car is clearly visible - B55CHK - and I therefore assume that it is prototype number 5, or the same car that Malcom Wilson drove to victory at the Lindisfarne Rally late in 1985 prior to FISA homologation. In the article it says that it took place a few days following rally Portugal. It says that B55CHK was the test car for Stig Blonqvist and Kalle Grundel for that rally but strangely it bears the "Diabolique" team colours (like the one campaigned by Portuguese driver Joaquim Santos).

I thought I'd send you these as there don't seem to be many pics on the 005 page. It does not tell us of the whereabouts of chassis 005 today but it's just for the record I suppose.

Wishing you all the best for 2007 with lots of happy motoring in your 200."

If you find any further info on this vehicle please email me on justin@rs200.org
