i know a bloke, who knows a bloke, who has a mk1 rs1600 rotting away in one of his garages, in gosport. but he wont do **** all about it, but wont let anyone else either.......git! so it'll just dissappear like all the others.......
reminds me of a little story a few months before the RSOC National Day 2000, me & Chris Ellison (Gizmo) working away
getting most nights for a month on his Xpack to get it drivealbe again after 10+ years of no use, a guy walks around
with his dog and says the usall thing 'I got something like that in White, in my garage', yeah yeah we think; He walks
away, thinking nothing more of it he comes back 'want to have a look!' so we walk not 10 meters to another lock up, opens the door
, first thing I clap eyes on was a set of 1700T M/S shood Alloys unused. Now time for the cover to come off, sitting there was a very tidy
RS1800 MK2 with the BDA..... Drawl.
I know the car was sold and is now undergoing a full resto.
i jnow a story of someone who nearly bought a mk1 rs2 with 200 miles from new on it - it was in a private collection but was unfortuantley sold before he got to it
there are some mint car sat out there in lock ups

I know where there is a genuine RS1800 sitting now complete with four flat tyres, all the road dirt & cow shit from 10 years ago - battery still attached etc. but he wont sell !!! Believe me I've tried. :bounce:
He's even talking of ressurecting it next year ? :cheers:
