Chassis SFACXXBJ2CGL00081

I think this car was going to be sold to Jonma Mapierkainin of Finland although I know FORD Spain were in possession of her at some point but whether that was for sale or on loan I do not know.

I think though it was sold to Richard Morrision (Global Motorsports Inc., John S. Eversley) around January 1990 and exported to the USA.

20/4/2004 - I found this car whilst surfing the internet looking for more info on 200's

The link I found was http://www.racer-net.com/vintg057.htm

I have saved the image in case the link dies...

It appears to be for sale, quote, "Ford: 1986 Cosworth RS200 Evolution Group B Rally Car. #081 Ford of Spain team car. Still in Marlboro livery. 600+ hp. Fully restored, perfect condition with all rally equipment, as raced. Complete spares package including spare tub, (EVO) body work, new 2.1 liter Hart Cosworth engine. Two gearboxes, one transfer case, etc. Enough to practically build another car. Entertaining all reasonable offers. Offers e-Mail: Agsvrc@aol.com "

June 2004 - I was sent a list of the original 20 EVOLUTION cars that were created by Ford.

This vehicle was destined to be chassis 209 but after returning was given chassis 081.

I have been in contact with John beck and  #081 is currently (Aug 04) his pride and joy having been restored and is alive and well, living in the UK having been brought back by David Bramwell. John used to own #123 and #179 but now owns #081 and #106.

July 2005 - Jon has sent me some images..

August 2005 - Jon is of a mind (although he changes it everytime he takes her out) that he might sell #081 ! - She is the Ford of Spain 1989 Gravel Championship car (Jesus Puras) and runs on an x-works EVO engine with big valved engine (550 - 600 BHP). She has big diffs front and rear (with oil cooler for rear), FF Dog Box, Full gravel suspension arms, magnesium bilsteins, oil cooler, power steering, skid shields, big 315mm Brakes all round, fly-off hydraulic handbrake. She is set up for tarmac at the moment due to the "Slowly sideways" events she has been to and the guide price, if you find the day of the week that he is still prepared to sell on ( only joking Jon ! ) then the guide price is £135,000.

September 2005 - I have been contacted by the new owner of #081 - More info to follow

October 2005 - The new owner has now registered #081 in the UK and she has been given C836SRB so keep an eye out for her (Like you could miss those graphics !)

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

Thanks,
