Wish I'd seen this in the flesh! I've seen a one registered in '93 before but never heard of one being this late.
Anyone else?
Absoloutley love these!

Its a bit of a shame if that 'Stang is the genuine article on top and is Subaru underneath as it just wouldn't be like any Yank car to drive! Still, if it was a rotten Mustang shell (there are many that have been in the country since the early 70s....) and it was going to be scrapped then thats a different story:thumb:!

The RS200 is an out and out replica kit, I know a company did a RS200 kit based on a 4x4 Cosworth Sierra that was a fairly faithful copy. Also Imagine the tuning potential with all the bits out thee for the YB and you have similar power to what was being produced in the dying days of Group B.

Quite possibly, it was a few years ago now though so I've no mag for point of reference. I assumed it'd be a Sierra as a rotten one can be had for peanuts compared to the Escy! The genuine RS200 used a Sierra windscreen apparently and the dash looks suspciously like a chopped MK2 Fiesta XR2s!lol

Hey Nick you got any pics mate? Looks a million times more convincing than a Banham 200 lol

I have a load of info on the Banham and I'm sure the ?17k cosworth based kit also, I'm gona see if I can dig it out :)

yeah Sierra 'screen and rear lights, doors, mirrors, never did like the dash though lol Head/spot lights look like mk1 xr2 also :D
