At the beginning of 1986 and up until J.M. Balestre announced the simultaneous ban of Group B as well as Group S starting from the 1987 season, John and Ford were already working on a possible Group S version of the 200. After the ban the project seemingly got scrapped. However, similarly to what Beppe Volta did with the Lancia ECV (The Group S Delta S4 successor, presented at the "San Marino Rally Legend" last october) John Wheeler took on the project and completed one RS200 with the Group S specs.
The first thing that one notices is the absence of the roof mounted intercooler. Without this the car seems to have much smaller proportions. The other surprise is in the engine bay where the BDT has been replaced by a YB. Other noticeable changes include different aerodynamics with a newly designed front and rear spoiler.
Here are some pics:
