It's based on a real RS2000.oh, yes, that's the one.

If it's for sale
The engine is from a Escort Cosworth, but without the turbo and without the injection. Double twin carbs rule!
The gearbox is a dog leg ZF with an Atlas axle. Can't remenber the ratio of the diff.
EDIT: It's not for sale but he also owns a Kadett GTE wich is for sale.

Not sure I understood your question... This car is for sale because my mate does this for a living. We works mainly with rally cars, present and classic. Sometimes he does this kind of race replicas for special costumers. And so he does for himself to take his cars to shows and rallyes as a kind of promotion of his services. He's keeping the escort because, has you know, it's more powerful and easy to drive. But the Kadett is even more perfect and if it finally manages to sell it, it will be a very reluctant deal.

ah, sorry, shouldn't use English 'slang' on international forum
"going for" - what price
interesting you say kadette "more perfect". he couldnt' get the handlign sorted out and the pwoer jsut wasn't good enough. So he's rebuilding a Sunbeam Lotus forest stages spec rally car now.
We don't have much experince in UK with the kadette, mainly Escorts and the Lotus from those days

I meant that it is in more perfect condition. However it as neither the power or the handling of the Escort. But I guess it's a chassis related issue.
The Sunbeam Lotus is a far more interesting cars. They make up to 260bhp! With that short chassis I can't imagine how it is to drive such a thing...

Ha, I understand.I meant that it is in more perfect condition. However it as neither the power or the handling of the Escort. But I guess it's a chassis related issue.
Was just wondering if we weren't setting it up properly.
Agreed, hard to beat the Escort ( unless it's a 1380 Mini
I'll let you know in the spring.The Sunbeam Lotus is a far more interesting cars. They make up to 260bhp! With that short chassis I can't imagine how it is to drive such a thing...
The rebuild will be finished then.
He is seriously considering putting a tuned Nissan engine and transmission in taking it out to 300bvhp. he reckons the chassis can take it.
I'm not sure and trying to convince him to stay with the Lotus power

That would be a waste. The original Lotus 2.2 sounds so good... And the car has such a value that it's a shame not to keep it standard.I'll let you know in the spring.
