Ford RS200 Group B Rally Car Information & Database

I have to make a 2nd apology to Nigel here as I have neglected to add his 2nd RS200 to the website along with failing to adding him to the 200 owners group a few years back - sorry
Hi Justin,

I have previously told you about my ownership of "bitza" A45 TAS but you seem to have forgotton to register it under the 200+ cars?!!

After taking 2 years to get the evo engine repaired (from 4 dropped valves on No1cylinder (required laser welded head and block, rebuilt, dyno'd, modified installation), I am now using it regularly.

Since April 2011 I have done TAC Rally (Belgium), Rally Kresnev (Czech Republic), Mini Epynt (Special stage rally), Weston Rally sprint, Curborough and Abingdon sprints, Goodwood press day, Wales GB press day, and a Fast Ford invite at Santa pod (in next months mag).!! I know it is a "bitza" - but it is a real RS200 which is out and being used!!

I'm going to leave this thread unlocked for any images or sightings to be added

Here are a few pics I took at the TAC rally back in March...

Nice one Klaus

Here are two more great pictures of A45TAS kindly supplied by the owner - thanks Nigel .



I have taken many more pics of A45TAS last week at the Eifel Rally and will upload them as soon as I've had some time to sort them out.

Edit: I have changed these to clickable thumbnails as it appears the forum software was cropping the right part of the images when viewing on smaller resolution screens. By clicking on the thumbnails you will be able to view larger images on Photobucket.

And here are more pictures of A45TAS taken last week at the Eifel Rallye Festival:

The car (which was built from an unused set of parts from a rallycross car) is nicely featured on the cover and in this months Fast Ford (issue 308 summer 2011).
I was very pleased to beat all of the 600, 700 and 800+ BHP cars on the handling circuit! My car only has 300bhp because I use it in competition on UK stage rallies where I have to run with a 34mm restrictor.

Very nice action shot taken at TAC Rally this year.



Many thanks to Ron Claus for his kind permission to use.

And a coupe more pics from Criterium Jurassien which was held last week-end.

One more Rally for A45TAS - this time in Spain.
