Apparently £15,000 is the going rate for one of the earlier ones (not the 600 bhp late effort)... still would be nice to own |

600bhp was only race trim not road going. They were 240 for the road. Ahh the BDT, evo engine had a longer stroke |

The late 600bhp ones would be lethal! (Well, they were!!) |

nice cars but they weren't THAT good.
brian Hart Racing altered the BD from Cosworhts original design to make it the BDT. 1.8 is where it started growing to 2litres.
Chassis was in theory good but in practice it wasn't as good as it could/should have been.
Had twin dampers and springs on each wheel etc. |

Aye the RS200. 0-60 in 2.1seconds in Evo form lol. 4wd with 650bhp from 2.1ltr BDA Cossy, started off with 250bhp @ 1803cc. Apparently the performance was in line with F1 cars at the time! |

im amazed at the antics of the crowds....flooding the road and pulling out the way at the last minute....how those drivers could put their all out effort in to goin as fast as they cud towards a crowd of ppl relying on them jumping out the way!!
mind u they did say driver one of them cars was very very stressful...and there were planty of crowd fatalities. |
