2004 Ford Calendar Collection Limited Edition-RS 200

[maxturbo]

Hi,

I was thinking of purchasing the above model. Now I did a bit of research on the internet. Sourced directly from another webpage. It reads as follows:

"It is for a Limited edition Ford motor company 2004 Ford calendar edition 1:32 scale diecast model of a Ford RS200 from the 1980's. This item is extremeley rare and is limited to 1111 piece's and comes with a certificate of authenticity."

Is the above information correct? A person is selling the above car, but does not have original box or certificate of authenticity. It has only the plastic case covering the car model. How much should I pay for this model? How rare are these to collect?

Hello maxturbo,

I had actually never heard of this model... I believe this is the one you are referring to ?



You mention it is 1:32 scale but looking at it closely it looks very much like the Minichamps model with a different finish (1:43). All Minichamps RS200's were limited and numbered production runs as far as I know though this one may be one of the lowest produced. The rarest I think is the works Kalle Grundel car from Sweden rally.

I have one of these in silver! Made by Minichamps.

Simply bought a black one, took it apart and resprayed it silver. Its fits in well with the other model RS200's I have!

I did the silver change as I wanted to see if it suited my full sized 200 replica .
