England's Boreham Motorworks will build a 'remastered' RS200 and a 'blueprint-accurate' Mk. 1 Escort as part of a series of classic Fords.

Vintage rally car remakes and resto-mods have become a hot commodity in recent years. Customers looking for better-than-the-original rallying legends can already buy a Lancia 037-like from Kimera and a perfected Subaru 22b from Prodrive. That list now grows even longer with the introduction of an 'entirely new, ground-up' Ford RS200 build announced on Monday.

Details are sparse so far, but the histories of these types of project suggest a car that only heightens what made the RS200 so extreme when it was first sold in the mid-1980s.Boreham Motorworks's plans also include 'blueprint-accurate, period-sympathetic' continuations of Ford classics, starting with the Mk. 1 Escort that became a generation's affordable rally car and an icon of the British market. Those cars will even feature Ford-approved continuation VINs.
