Production<\/span><\/h2>\n

FIA<\/a>\u00a0homologation rules for\u00a0Group B<\/a>\u00a0required the construction of at least 200 road-legal vehicles, and Ford constructed these 200 units with spare parts for another 20+ units put aside for the racing teams. Those chassis and spare parts were later also used to build a couple of non-genuine, so-called\u00a0bitsa<\/i>\u00a0cars.<\/p>\n

A total of 24 of the 200 original cars were reportedly later converted to the so-called “Evolution” models, mostly marked by their owners as “E” or “E2” types. Ford’s first intention was to mark the FIA-required 20 “Evo” cars as series numbers 201 to 220 but as this was actually not necessary according to the FIA rules they later kept their original series numbers (e.g. 201 = 012, 202 = 146, 203 = 174 et cetera).<\/p>\n

The original bodywork tooling for the Ford RS200 was latterly bought by\u00a0Banham Conversions<\/a>, who used it to make a\u00a0kit car<\/a>\u00a0version based on the\u00a0Austin Maestro<\/a>. Due to being a basic rebody of the Maestro, the Austin-Rover engine ancillaries are actually to be found at the front of the vehicle.<\/p>\n
