Met someone on the weekend who had one. He was selling a restored RS2000 for
$20k which seemed like a lot but he had dropped over twice that in the resto.
It was immaculate. Always wanted one as a kid but for that money I'd be better
off with another GTR or WRX. Spent ages talking to the guy and he showed up
his concorse XU1 in the shed. Hate to think what it was worth. One of 4 in
factory blue.
