Chassis SFACXXBJ2CGL00084

I think this car was originally sold to Manfredo Lippmann from California around March 1991, it was uprated by FORD at the customers request to quite a precise specification.

12/12/2003 - I found this car whilst surfing the internet looking for a RS200 to buy for myself.

The link I found was http://www.autocollections.com/moreinfo.cfm?key=1152

Quoted from their website, " 1986 FORD RS200 EVOLUTION ID# SFACXXBJ2CGL00084 FORD RS200 EVOLUTION. #084 CAR. 2.1 LITER COSWORTH SINGLE TURBO. 600+ HP. ONE OF 24 EVER MADE. THIS CAR IS FACTORY ORIGINAL AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN VERY LITTLE SINCE NEW. THE RS200 WAS BANNED FROM RALLY COMPETITION IN EUROPE IN THE LATE EIGHTIES BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO FAST AND CONSEQUENTLY BELIEVED TO BE TOO DANGEROUS. RECENTLY THE FIA HAS LIFTED THE BAN ON THESE CARS TO COMPETE IN THE "VINTAGE" RALLIES BEFORE ALL OF THE EVENTS ON THIS SEASON'S EUROPEAN RALLY SCHEDULE BECAUSE OF THEIR POPULARITY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. EUROPEANS ARE FRANTICLY TRYING TO FIND THESE CARS AND THIS IS AN UNMOLESTED EXAMPLE OF THE REAL THING. TWO POINT ONE SECONDS, THAT'S 2.1 SECONDS, A LITTLE OVER TWO SECONDS. LESS THAN THREE SECONDS. IN THE TIME IT'S TAKEN YOU TO READ THIS, A FORD RS200 EVO CAN REACH 60MPH! FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND 650BHP FROM A MERE 2.1 LITRE ENGINE MADE FORD'S RALLY CAR AN INSTANT LEGEND WHICH FEW CARS HAVE COME CLOSE TO CATCHING.   "

April 20th 2004 - Sadly it appears the owner of this car, and indeed the whole collection ( www.blackhawkcollection.com ), Tom Barrett III has passed away, our thoughts are with his family.

This vehicle was destined to be chassis 214 but after returning was given chassis 084.

July 2004 - This is up for auction in the US on 11th - 15th August 2004, see info.

November 2004 - I have been given information that somebody on the email address dadularach@msn.com is trying to pretend that they own this car and that it is up for sale for £9000. - Yeah right ! - The car is still for sale and buyers are to contact cclarke@blackhawkcollection.com should you have $295,000 which is more like the real value !

I have been sent an image of #084 from someone whose father saw the car while on vacation in Las Vegas.
