Buyer’s notes
About the Ford RS200
The RS200 was Ford’s mid-engined, four-wheel-drive Group B car, built in the small numbers the category required. It arrived just as Group B was abolished at the end of 1986, which left Ford with a road car of extraordinary specification and no championship to contest. It is now the most valuable car in the Fast Fords guide by a wide margin.
What moves the price
- Who buys it: collectors of competition history rather than of road cars, who compare it with the other Group B road cars.
- Proof: as across the fast-Ford market, value rests on homologation status, originality and evidence of both.
- History: a continuous, documented record of where the car has been and what has been done to it.
Before you buy, check
- Identity confirmed against factory and owners’ club records.
- A complete history file, including any long storage and the recommissioning that followed it.
- An inspection before purchase by a specialist who knows the RS200.
