Abandoned Ford RS200

CAR LIFE>> ABANDONED FORD RS200 - Speedhunters



As I was walking through a quiet residential area of Tokyo the other evening I spotted something very familiar parked inside a dark garage of an apartment building. As I began to make my way closer the low-slung silhouette began to become clearer, but surely it couldn't be what I thought it was? Arriving in front of the shutter my suspicions were confirmed, I was indeed face to face with one of only 200 Ford RS200s ever made. These cars were produced from 1984 to 1986 to meet FIA Group B rally car homologation requirements.



It looks like the RS200 has been parked in this place for a vary long time, accumulating a thick layer of dust.

Looks like an old 5 or 7 series next to it. Wonder what the story is here...

Flat bed and a crow bar and that baby would be mine. It obviously would not be missed.

What a shame.

Hopefully this car is reborn, a shame that it has been hibernating so long.

Don't over think it.

Besides, my laser watch is really only good enough to defeat the most basic of locks. It's power source wouldn't last long enough to tackle that gate.

Could these pics be from Haiti or Guatemala or something. Somewhere a disaster happened and people fled?
These are cool cars and it's definitly the correct color scheme
