Offered between 1984 and 1986, the mid-engined RS200 was developed for rallying when Group B was getting dangerous for both drivers and spectators. FIA homologation rules mandated the production of 200 road-going vehicles, of which 24 units were converted to Evolution specification.

Listed on Bring a Trailer with eight days of bidding left to go, the car was purchased by the seller in November 2017 from a gentleman in Norway. Not long after the papers were signed, the RS200 Evolution was imported to England for mechanical reconditioning. Geoff Page Racing of Maldon, Essex, rebuilt the engine in February 2018, replacing the fuel pump with a Holley unit and fuel lines with brand-new units made from stainless steel.
