On similar subject, why is this valued at between £120k-£150k, when a group 4 Stratos is being valued at over £500k?

Makes the Ford look like a bargain to me!

That RS200 is lovely. I'd have that if I thought it would go for the lower end of the estimate. Unfortunately I expect it will got above the higher end. A mate had one, he might still have it, and I was pax a few times at a couple of track days. I'd forgotten how low-rent the interior was till I saw those pics.
It's all 'made up' anyway. Something is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. I think the current 'flood' of cars coming to market is because of the prices being asked. How many sell? How many sell for the asking price?Originally Posted by red5
The fiddling of production figures was that bad, nobody knows what cars are real original s these days. You can bet new but suitably patinated chassis are everywhere. A past member here intimated as such years ago. All that crap about continuation chassis being magically found after production ceased, well , if one believes that then one wants ones head testing.
Not sure if it was stratos times or group b but it was mentioned that the inspector s were outside counting cars being brought for them to view which were then driven back around the rear if the place and presented again. 'Oh, here's another red version for you Mr inspector'.

The most under rated Gp4 road version, has to be the Chevette HS.

Or an actual Manta 400 road version for 'only' £50k?:

That is nice, I had a couple of Manta GTE's back in my youth. That would look brilliant in the garage next to my Lister Bell, if only I had a spare 50k lying around!
