The RS200 S is the late, more usable take on Ford's Group B homologation special: a mid-engined, four-wheel-drive car with a front-mounted gearbox and a Cosworth BDT turbocharged 1.8-litre four. Only 20 S models were built, and this one, chassis 138, is said to be one of just two finished by Ford in Ferrari Rosso Chiaro Red.
It was selected at Boreham by its first owner, who had the left-hand-drive car converted to right-hand drive before registration in October 1990. It has had a single keeper since new, until the dealer bought it late in 2025. It is specified with the rarer comfort equipment, including half-leather Recaro seats, electric windows and air-conditioning supplied with the car. The page gives 240 bhp, though the text describes S-specification output as around 350 bhp.
It shows 19,957 miles and has a history file of invoices from recognised RS200 and Cosworth specialists. A letter from RS200 authority Bob Howe confirms its authenticity. It comes with the original red competition seats and non-split-rim wheels, never fitted. The MOT runs to October 2026 and the price is on application.

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Only the basic layout is given (1.8 BDT turbo four, mid-engine, AWD, UK-built Group B homologation car). No verified factory figures were found for an 'S' variant or a 1990 model year, because RS200 production ended in 1986, so performance figures are null.).
