As mentioned in a previous post I have just received my entry for my last car show of the 2020 year at the Liverpool Cars & Coffee on December 5th. These are huge car shows with over 500 cars turning up for the event. Over the years I have seen all sorts of classic and rare cars including supercars from Ferrari, Lamborghini and Bugatti but I have never seen an RS200 real or replica at these shows, so my car should create quite a stir and a talking point.
Hi Geoff I am on there Facebook page as a member so I get an entry. If you are thinking of going just turn up early and yu can get a good parking spot, If you like I will keep an eye out for you . What car are you thinking of bringing ? I seem to remember your handle did you have a couple of replica 250SWB cars on Ebay a while back if so I was chasing the blue one before settling for the RS200. Just had a look at your build thread makes a nice change from those numerous 250SWB cars also love the colour of your car.
I have now completed all the intercooler pipework on my RS200 and I am pleased with the results the big bore 76mm tube was a pain in the backside to mount to secure brackets I wish I had my own welder tacking the brackets would have been so much easier . I now have to wait still next weekend car show December 5th [weather permitting] to see how the car is received by visitors. I still have to find a new location for the new cone filter I need it in a stream of cold air for best results. As luck would have it the RS200 has cold air side scoops on either side adjacent to the electric windows so if I can get this filter in that area it should be ideal.
As outlined in a previous post I attended the Liverpool Cars & Coffee classic car show on Sunday plenty of rare classics on show and got some great pictures pf my RS200 from photographers with better gear than me. My car got great reviews from visitors even though its a replica.
Seeing people all wrapped up and the leafy background immediately reminded me of being a kid, stood out in the middle of a field in Wales waiting for the next monster rally car to come sailing past!
Thanks for the compliments Munky, lots of small jobs still to do but I will wail until the new year as its far to cold to work in the garage. Need to change the profile of the tyres and possibly the wheels at the moment 195 on the front and 205 on the rear going to change these around , And fit 205 on the front and get some 225 on the rear. Have bought some Barbarian Hub Centric 20mm spacers to go on {Pictured] for the modification.
