Is this a known car ?

Escort is awesome, but massively let down by the numberplate

Don't really understand how but ok if it's just the Irish font well then I never changed it as I saw it as a part of the cars backstory :up:

Great ! I'll keep an eye out for that.....if I get chucked out for not being in a Renault it will all be your fault !!:tired:

 

[cat171]

Lol! No, you'll be cool.. most folk don't even have Clio's anymore! 😂

I sold my ph1 3 years ago and now have a Impreza, you'll be fine mate and tbh something like a escort cosworth is something amazing to have turn up to a meet.

Same year same miles 2k cheaper !! Doesn't mention Cup chasis though....is there any way to tell ? and would that account for £2k ?

IIRC, at the time the 200s came out, many people preferred the non-cup chassis anyway. It was a lot better ride for our roads.

Thanks, so you reckon that is a non Cup ?.....is there a way to tell just by looking rather than the fact it just doesn't mention it ?

A quick search says cup chassis comes with red brembo callipers.

 

[Typhoon]

Yeah cup chassis had the red calipers and non cup had silver (?).. doesn’t mean someone can’t paint theirs red however but it’s a quick indicator.

 

[boultonn]

Yeh cup chassis has red calipers.
Cup chassis has a firmer ride and apparently the steering is better than non-cup

 

[Shocker]

Buy a 200t for same money

 

[Advikaz]

Yep cup chassis red calipers

 

[Spiritof'76]

Thank you people......yes, did a search and came up with the same info on red calipers so that confirms that car as a non Cup. So i've no interest in that as an RS200 without Cup chasis seems to be somewhat missing the point in my view !
Anyway, spent seven hours on the road yesterday (Yawn !) to go and view the Ktec 200 and i wasn't disappointed.....it's in great condition and that's now my favourite colour ! Even with a layer of dust on it she looked gorgeous My first time in one and yes, the interior is a little plastic fantastic lol but actually nowhere near as bad as i thought it was going to be ! Recaro's are great, but then aren't they always.....i did feel i was sat up quite high, i don't know if there is much or any adjustability with them ? i kinda felt i was more sat on the car than sat in it lol. The drive was great and i like the box but then i've always liked all the French gearbox's i've owned. No, it's not particulary fast but then i wasn't expecting it to be.....it's more of a car to get up to speed and then carry that speed.
Aesthetically i thought the wheels were a bit dull, so maybe a change there or maybe just a refurb in shadow chrome to add a bit of interest.....we'll see, anyway, i,ve put a deposit down

Was going to say that’s a long way to just drive it.

Nice one.

Long way full stop lol....leaving there at rush hour on a Friday was bad planning to say the least !!

 

[Crash200]

Three weeks ago I bought a 59 with 26000 miles for £6,500 from a dealer. So definitely overpriced.

Excuse my ignorance but what's a 200t ?
