Collecting Community | Ep. 2 Geoff Page - The man who built the Ford RS200 engines.

We were recently invited to an exclusive event called ‘Fast Friends’ organised by Targa Club, a members club that hosts events for ‘Discerning Drivers and Collectors’. As well as seeing some of the rare and interesting rally cars attending the event we met Geoff Page who was part of the team that built the engines for the Ford RS200’s. Geoff tells us what it was like to help develop a Group B legend!
Thanks again to all the team at Targa Club for having us and to Geoff Page and Pat Doran for participating in the video.
Thanks also to Amy Shore for the awesome thumbnail photo. 📸

"Serious motoring enthusiasts" equals "enthusiasts with a lot of money"

[@RBWill1]

Unfortunately not, I was there and I’m far from rich 😢

[@Storm762x39]

Yes and good for them. Aspire to become the same.

[@PCarDriver87]

Yes, and they choose to spend a lot of their money on cars.

[@JamesDOConnor1916]

Thanks Geoff page you and your team made a savage machine respect 🙏

[@4DTV]

Wait until you get him on Alfa’s! I sold Geoff a car 20yrs ago when he was still at Mountune. He gave me some Mountune goodies and a Colin McRae Focus WRC piston that had failed. Thank you again Geoff! 👍🏻

[@michaelmassart2349]

Love the RS200, especially in the Q8 livery 👌

[@petespanel]

Many thanks Geoff for getting me into 157 and inviting me to this event. Was a great day out.

[@edalbagem]

Waiting for part 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 that will cover the RS200 in technical detail. 👍😬

[@bondy284]

An amazing car that had its moment breifly but yet has lodged itself in all car peoples memories... first time I ever knew about it was when I was a kid looong ago and a 1:64 matchbox rally toy car...in the famous white and blue stripes

[@janisc1666]

All we know is he's called the Stig 😄

[@pugmanick]

06:10 - That sounds like an invitation to a longer interview - make it happen please!

[@daveberry2177]

hey i used to watch these at Boreham Essex, the old grand prix track and rally track, we used to sneak in as kids and watch them testing them, i am sure i see Barry lee driving one,

[@M3PH11]

5:12 where have i seen the tall dude with the shaggy hair before? i swear i've seen him on tv somewhere

[@jensonweston1448]

That's Pat Duran

[@memphisbulls1859]

Crying shame that Lydden circuit wasn't bought by McLaren in the early 90's due to the NIMBY's of Sheppardswell

[@roninfr4666]

Lancia stratos

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

I clicked play so quickly my index finger traveled through time.

[@Marvdogger2]

You can see the full RS200 clips of it in action in 1986 on my channel.

[@HugoHardinge]

Whenever I see the RS200 I think of Ken Block. Rip KB43VER

[@quinningtons]

Anyone confirm that I was in one in the late eighties that had an additional shifter for high and low range? Not seen another example that was that way, I’ve got an old Polaroid of the interior with the shifter next to the gear change? Personal modification????

[@MrSnoopyxxx12]

Is that an F1 in the background?

[@andreidoimetri]

Great video but you need to get a new camera guy...

[@Thecrazyvaclav]

Bodies built by reliant in Tamworth

[@Pengajim]

Maybe a second channel for the stories?
