180 ORS - Current owner KNOWN (DM) - United Kingdom
Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2009 5:54 pm
In June 2007 I received lots of emails about this car as it surfaced for sale at £69,000. You could see from the chassis number (SABTVR03263092343) it was obviously not one of the initial 200 cars but, if it had been built by Mike Little, as claimed, then it should have been a well put together car.
In August that year Mike Little rang and told me all about the car. He had indeed built it himself to full RS200 spec, a few people then made contact and said they had seen it and is was a really nice car. Mike sent me some documents from the DVLA for my files showing the registration process for the car which was great. What he also included was all the set up papers for the rally cars he ran - What a result !
By November 2007 I was told that C61SAO has been reduced to £49,995 and I think it sold about that time as in November 2008 I was contacted by the new owner (MS) who said he had bought the car about a year prior.
During Oct 2013 I had been speaking to (CE) who was looking for an RS200 and on 20/10/13 he emailed...
"Hi Justin - Just a quick follow up - I did end up agreeing to buy C61SAO, and Geoff Page is picking it up this coming Friday to give it a once over, fit it with a lamp pod & FORD stripes, and generally check it is all in AOK state before I take possession. There are a few pix attached to show it in its current condition, in case these are of interest for your records. It currently has 1588 miles on the clock. It comes with an additional pair of buckets. Looking forward to joining the fraternity ! Best regards (C)"
November 2023 - C61SAO now has a new index 180 ORS and a new owner from a little while ago (DM).
If you find out anything else about this car please drop me an email and i'll update the cars entry !
