THREE HOMOLOGATION SPECIALS COME TO MARKET

Iconic Auctioneers Limited Stand: 1-001
THREE HOMOLOGATION SPECIALS COME TO MARKET

1990 Ford RS200 S, one owner from new. Estimate: £300,000 to £350,000

A homologation car is a road-legal car that is produced in limited numbers to meet the requirement of a race sanctioning body, so that they can be deemed fit for use in competition.

So, the bottom line when buying a homologation car is, that you are buying a wolf in a sheep’s clothing - and there lies the appeal. The car looks like a gent, but drives like a racing demon!

Iconic Auctioneers have a reputation as a specialist in selling competition cars in live auctions, with 12 Group B homologation specials sold last year (along with a basket load of fast Fords, another specialism!). With Race Retro Show kicking off the start of the motorsport season what better time to buy one of these very special cars, a boy racer’s dream and the darling of a racing man.

First on the auctioneer’s grid is this red race leading car: a 1990 Ford RS200, an exceptionally rare Ford RS200 S offered directly from its first and only owner, one of just 20 'S' models and one of only four finished by Ford in Ferrari Red. A truly unrepeatable opportunity. Estimate £300,000 - £350,000.

1986 MG Metro 6R4 'Group B' Ex-Works 'C818 FFC'. Estimated: £275,000 - £325,000

 

The second such homologation car is a 1986 MG Metro 6R4 'Group B' Ex-Works 'C818 FFC', chassis #208. An important Works 6R4, entered in the infamous 1986 Rallye de Portugal for Tony Pond and Rob Arthur.

Fresh to market having been privately owned and successfully campaigned since 1996 achieving some impressive results over the past 29 years, including winning the Tempest Rally in 1999 and numerous class wins at the Rallye Sunseeker from 1997 to 2012. More recently, C818 FFC has become synonymous with Goodwood, entertaining the crowds on the Goodwood Festival of Speed rally stage on no less than 16 occasions from 2005 to 2024. More recently, the car was selected as one of six MGs used in a special parade at the Festival for the MG 100 year celebrations, as well as competing on the infamous hill climb. The car has also competed at the Goodwood 72nd and 78th Members Meetings as part of the Rally Sprints.

1987 MG Metro 6R4 'Clubman' - 3,423 Miles. Estimated: £200,000 - £240,000

Last but not least is this 1987 MG Metro 6R4 Clubman with just 3,423 miles. Sympathetically mechanically refreshed by its long-term owner, this road-registered 6R4 is as close to a totally correct, original 'Clubman' as you will find.  Lionel Abbot the car’s specialist who consigned the car said “This is a remarkable example of a 6R4 Clubman, it has a perfect timeline, escaping any competition use and is truly on the button with an impeccable maintenance record that is fully documented in its history file”.
