Hello all,

I thought you would like to know that two RS200s are coming up for auction on 17 & 18 January, 2019 at the RM Sotheby's auction in Phoenix, Arizona.

One is #084 (EVO 214) and has a pre-auction estimate of $500,000-$700,000.

The other is #133 and carries a pre-auction estimate of $275,000-$325,000.

Sadly, both cars will sell for far more than I can afford so I will have to be content with my 2016 Mk3 Focus RS.

Many thanks for sharing these links. :-)

...and welcome to the RS200.org forums.

So what colour did you go for in your Focus RS ? They're lovely cars to drive... :-)

Thank you for the welcome Nikki.
My Focus RS is Shadow Black. The other three colors available for 2016 just weren't my cup of tea and black just looks sinister on this car. I have a number of Mountune upgrades on it including a custom tune which has it at about 425hp. It is a beast.

I've been a Ford man all my life. I don't know why I haven't paid more attention to the RS200 until recently. But I've been devouring anything I can find to read about it. I have many old road test reports, Justin's book of course and my own original copy of an RS200 Owner's Manual. I have a number of questions to post up in the near future that I hope to discuss on this forum.

Watching the two upcoming auctions online next week should be exciting.

084 only reached $435,000. Noted as High Bid, not marked sold so I assume there was a reserve and it was not met.

133 goes up tomorrow evening.

133 reached $200k and also didn't sell. Both are listed as 'still available' on the RM Sotheby's website.
