#185 is seen on the inside cover of the May/June 1990 RS Owners Club Magazine. I think it was originally used on index G200TJD but this was changed by an owner to C200RAN.
In June 2004 another enthusiast, William Arnold, sent me a some images for the database from the June 1998 Performance FORD magazine ...
In November 2006 (DR) got in touch and confirmed that he owned chassis #185 and it has the private plate of C200RAN on her now having bought her in 1999 at which point she was modified to meet MSA rules.
A basic HPI check in Aug 2004 showed...

In September 2007 I got to meet the new owner (NM) at Castle Combe Rallyday 2007 and together with 3 other 200's we had 5 laps to our self at the end of the day. (NM) was convinced I hadn't mentioned that he had bought #185 due to a "vetting" procedure which made us all laugh ! - Well (N), consider yourself vetted and announced as the new owner of #185 - Keep us updated with the events you are entering on the forum please - Will be nice to see the car sideways again. - And on that subject, any get (N)'s spin on video from the lunchtime special stage at Rallyday ???
2013 - Bumped into NM at Brands and we chatted about cars for a while, #185 still going well he tells me.
If you find out anything else about this car please drop me an email and I'll update the cars entry !
