194 | THE GOODWOOD REVIVAL SALE

On the RAC Rally, the last event contested by the Ford RS200 as a

works car, four factory entries started but only one, GrundelMelanders

B200 ?V?, would finish, coming home in 5th place.

With Group B defunct and its career as a works car at an end,

B200 ?V? was sold around December  to the Swedish rallycross

driver, Rolf 'Myggan' Nilsson. As one would expect, this car is featured in

Justin Smiths definitive marque history, Ford RS200: The Story So Far'

(copy available). For the last five years, B200 ?V? has been undergoing

restoration with its current owner in Norway, a process that involved

extensive re-manufacturing of parts. Now boasting a rebuilt cylinder head

and new turbocharger, the car is presented in excellent condition (an

inspection report carried out by John Wheeler will be available during the

view and sale). Ready to use, it represents a possible once-in-a-lifetime

opportunity to acquire a genuine ex-works Ford RS200 with in-period

World Rally Championship history.

Offered with old Swedish title, the car was imported into Norway some

years ago and local import taxes paid. Should the vehicle remain in the E<,

local import taxes of 5% will be applied to the hammer price.

The cars original <K registration number B200 ?V? will need to be

re-applied for via the DVLA and their V75 form.
