RS200 Documentation and Video
Posted: Tue Dec 01, 2009 7:57 am
Hi All,
I've been a longtime RS200 fan since '87 when I first read about them in Autoweek. Someday I hope to own one.
I have several items that if there is interest from the board members I can scan and upload in PDF and WMV format at some point in the near future.
An original Ford Motorsport RS200 sales/promotional brochure printed in March 1987. 20 pages including front and back covers.
A (now grainy) VHS tape of Ford RS200 Promo from Pleasurable Developments, Inc / Bob Sutherland of about 20 minutes. My understanding is Bob and a partner were the main force in getting RS200's into the States after Group B was cancelled. Watched many times to get my 'fix' over the years.
Autoweek magazine cover/article from April 20, 1987 - Killer Bees Invade US - about the Group B cars and history and the efforts to get some imported into the US. Cover has picture of all wite RS200 in an industrial setting - euro plate D439PJN
Autoweek magazine cover/article from April 27, 1987 - Baja Blast - about an Autoweek editor running an RS200 in the La Carrera Classic II recreating the Mexican road races of the '50s. Talks about the event and background of the RS200 and efforts to bring them to the US.
If there is some interest, I'll devote some time to scan/convert and upload them. A bit of time may pass before I can complete it due to my travel schedule but I'll put them high on my list of things to do when home.
Let me know if they already exist on the site or a shout-out if they are desired.
