C2OOE - Julian Godfrey's Car

[Justin Smith]

Some time about 2003 I had an email from Robin Plummer who remembered photographing this car and sent me two images.

The on-line basic (free) information I could find was;

Manufacturer Ford
Model
Body type sports
Colour White
Fuel type Petrol
Date manufactured 01 August 2001
Number of previous owners 0
Last owner change 01 August 2001

In November 2004 a couple of people have emailed me saying they remember seeing C2 00E in Fast Ford Magazine, issue April 2003 - It said it was owned and built by Julian Godfrey, the same Julian that looks after Pat Dorans rallycross car. It stated ..

"... built from a spare shell, uprights and some transmission gear bought from Michael Quaife." Julian Godfrey Engineering is here: http://www.racetuners.com/ Pat Doran's RS200 rallycross car, is here http://www.patdoran.co.uk/ He had the new shell and bought an Evo from someone called Tony Bardy, he took out the Evo engine and sold the rest to someone in Denmark. Then proceeded to complete the build of his car. He spent 1000hrs on it, and according to the article drove 4500 miles in 2002 using it for track days and road driving. Aparently he'd even driven it to Norway. At the time of the article both cars were heavily tuned. C200E had full 2.1BDT Evo running 600bhp/550lbft torque running 1.8 to 2.2bar boost. Pat Doran's was similiar spec engine with 750bhp/600lbft torque running 2.2 to 3.2bar boost and 102RON fuel."

Then in December 2005 Frances Godfrey (Julians brother) confirmed they built that car, registered it on August 1st 2001. They bought a lot of the remaining RS200 parts from Quaife Engineering, Xtrac, Deiter Knuttel (Avon Tyres in Germany) and various other parts from suppliers. They can be found on http://www.racetuners.com - I have met with Julian a few times now on trackdays and his car goes like stink !

If you find any further info on this vehicle please email me on justin.smith@rs200.org

Thanks,

Justin
