Great ! I'll keep an eye out for that.....if I get chucked out for not being in a Renault it will all be your fault !!:tired:
I sold my ph1 3 years ago and now have a Impreza, you'll be fine mate and tbh something like a escort cosworth is something amazing to have turn up to a meet.
No one has Renaults any more.. :up:
And Cat never comes to meets anyway :down:
Escort Cosworth
Same year same miles 2k cheaper !! Doesn't mention Cup chasis though....is there any way to tell ? and would that account for £2k ?

IIRC, at the time the 200s came out, many people preferred the non-cup chassis anyway. It was a lot better ride for our roads.

Thanks, so you reckon that is a non Cup ?.....is there a way to tell just by looking rather than the fact it just doesn't mention it ?
Escort Cosworth
Thank you people......yes, did a search and came up with the same info on red calipers so that confirms that car as a non Cup. So i've no interest in that as an RS200 without Cup chasis seems to be somewhat missing the point in my view !
Anyway, spent seven hours on the road yesterday (Yawn !) to go and view the Ktec 200 and i wasn't disappointed.....it's in great condition and that's now my favourite colour ! Even with a layer of dust on it she looked gorgeous My first time in one and yes, the interior is a little plastic fantastic lol but actually nowhere near as bad as i thought it was going to be ! Recaro's are great, but then aren't they always.....i did feel i was sat up quite high, i don't know if there is much or any adjustability with them ? i kinda felt i was more sat on the car than sat in it lol. The drive was great and i like the box but then i've always liked all the French gearbox's i've owned. No, it's not particulary fast but then i wasn't expecting it to be.....it's more of a car to get up to speed and then carry that speed.
Aesthetically i thought the wheels were a bit dull, so maybe a change there or maybe just a refurb in shadow chrome to add a bit of interest.....we'll see, anyway, i,ve put a deposit down
