Yup, there's just something so cool about the MK2 RS2000 wide arch look.

Cracking to see them built from scratch again, the prices over the past few years have gone beyond usable, I doubt these will be anything shy of 100k for the GRP4 spec, the Millington engine alone is in excess of 25k
Timeless classics but prefer a genuine GRP 4

Years back an old boy that would service & MOT was a MK1 & 2 minor collector. Always remember how much space in the engine bay.
Eventually retired & sold his garage to Jools Holland.

I showed the MK1 video to my old man and he told me that the guy who owns the old school in my village done all the body work for it as he seen it there.

At one time the X packs were worth less than the standards with the non customs being rarer than the customs
Think I’ve owned at least 9 of them, sold a black Xpack IDF Webers , long range fuel tank, LSD, rocket gearbox every extra about 9 years ago and still have loads of brochures etc for them

The only thing I would say is that you can’t go anywhere without coming back to finger marks over the windows and people wanting to chat, nice at first but gets tiresome after a while hence selling the collectionIt’s years now since I owned either a Mk1 or Mk2 but when I win the lottery tonight I’m buying one

My mate sold his MK1 rs end of last year... I fondled this thing many a time. It was and still is the single finest MK1 in existence and possibly the most expensive.
