Put a few pictures up on Facebook of this car, but I thought I'd post a few higher quality images up here: click below the image for a bigger picture! :)

No idea on Chassis number, but I'm sure you chaps can assign the pictures to the relevant place! ;)

Was a brilliant day out! The August meets there are normally good, but the appearance of Gronholm and the retro stand made it that much better.

Seeing and hearing the RS200 out on track was definately one of the highlights of the day.

Same car, but now with added aero and a eye catching new color scheme:

Will be driven by Liam Doran at Pikes Peak this year!

Nice ! THanks for sharing :-)

Will be interesting to see how 4WD cars will perform over Pikes Peak this year, now that the entire course is paved...

I saw a picture of 174 with the same colour scheme last Oct / Nov. It was near as damn-it identical (less the spoilery things though).

Yeah, I agree. I read yesterday that the Millen car that ran last year (the LMP style Hyundai) has been converted to RWD for the 2012 Race to the Clouds.

Full article on the above RS200 is now online here:

The Speedhunters website has also made mention of it, so I'd expect to see more on it there soon as well!

PS: Does anyone know if this is a genuine RS200 and, if so, what number is it?

I would imagine it's been built from a spare tub as were many Rallycross and hill climb cars, although I don't know this for sure.

...in other words, it is a genuine RS200 but it's not one of the original 200 assembled in Shenstone.
