Default So. Much. Want.

I have spent the last 24 hours trying to decide which bank to rob to buy this:















2.4L BDT/E making 811 BHP/900 Ft. Lbs, Quaife sequential box: all yours for 1.2 million Swedish Krona (about £100,000). Not cheap, but a lot of car for the money.

...if your pockets are deep enough!

Not to keen on the dashboard.

That really has to be as close as you can get to strapping a couple of seats to an engine.

Well after being bought before I could rob a bank and snatch it up myself, it looks like the new owner of the car might have changed the colour:

An original Evo - and arguably the best prepared street RS200 - is now up for sale:

After several years, the person who I believed had purchased the original car in this thread has posted a video about it:



Oddly the video claims its a difference chassis number though, so not quite sure what has happened there!

I think he’s wanted one for a long time, but don’t think he’s had the rs200 long. I remember at the mk3 rs launch he was drooling over the rs200 that was there.

Interesting that it's Registered as I swear Tim Allen said his wasn't road legal when they showed it on Jay Lenos garage. I may be wrong though so feel free to scour youtube on my behalf

Hoonigan have posted a walk around video of Blocks new toy:



Few incorrect facts stated about the car, but the mention of the engine size and original colour indicate that this is indeed #80: not sure why the other video states a different number!

I assume this down to the end of his tie up with Ford, wonder if he actually was the owner of these, I believe the Hoonicorn has gone back to Ford.

It is a bit of an odd situation. The split seemed amicable, but the sale of so many cars does make you wonder. I think that just leaves the EsCos, Hoonitruck and maybe another Fiesta.

Yeah, I got the impression that the Hoonicorn has gone back to Ford, I guess it was built with Ford Performance money? The sale of the Fiestas doesn't surprise me so much, though the RS200 does as it was a car he claimed to love (though didn't appear to enjoy driving very much).

I see the RS200 now has a price ($550K). Fivefold increase due to a different colour scheme, wheels and suspension? Hope someone does their research before handing over that cash...
