These will be made to the same technical specifications as the original cars, and will even have period-correct VIN numbers, thanks to Ford’s backing.
“At least five further iconic Ford vehicles” will follow, said Boreham, without hinting at potential candidates for revival. The Capri, GT40, Sierra Cosworth and XR2i would all seem like logical candidates.
The company has not said how many of each it will build, but says they will be sold in “very limited numbers”.
Will Ford, boss of the Ford Performance motorsport division, said: “From the first time we met with Boreham Motorworks and the DRVN team, it was clear that they had an exciting vision for how to bring some of our most iconic historical nameplates to life for the modern era.
“It will be exciting to see this relationship flourish and to see how Boreham Motorworks brings the vision to life at a time when there is so much passion from enthusiasts for great experiences.”
Boreham’s RS200 has been previewed just as Welsh firm MST is putting the finishing touches to its own modern-spec reworking of the MG Metro 6R4, one of the RS200’s chief rivals in period.
