Hey, I really love the understatedness of the RS200 so I was wondering if there are any in Australia or are they only in the UK & Europe?

Hi, I have not heard of any of them in Australia.
The 200 of them built are probably in motor museums or preserved away in private collections by now. A more viable option for you (unless you have a spare million $ ) could be to find a kit-car replica of the RS200. Kits were built and available for more than 10 years in the UK. Some of these kits used a Renault transaxle and Cosworth mid engine, and with some Sierra parts these could be quite close to the original for a fraction of the cost. Cheers, |

Understated would be one of the last adjectives I would use for a RS200..LOL
Might be a couple of personal imports but never sold here.

There's two in Australia. One was on display at Rally Australia last year. My four-year old was impressed when they let him get in the driver's seat, and they were impressed when he asked (unprompted) if it had anti-lag.

When I said understatedness I mean't that almost everybody on the street wouldn't know what it is.
