Classic Fords. Fairly priced or over priced?

[carl carlson]

Looking through for a MK2 Escort RS2000 (mainly dreaming though there is a nice one near for 10K) I came across this rather optomistic or maybe not advert.

Way, way overpriced at the moment IMO. That one above ludicrously so. I would expect a mint RS2000 for that money.

that is crazy, given that it is only reall yworth something as a mint bare shell, who the fk wants a spotless original pop plus or whatever it is?

Mk 1 and 2 escorts are worth money because of historic rallying, that's all

After seeing this http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2201809.htm for £50k in the PH email yesterday, nothing will surprise me.

That looks like Finland. Not that that matters

ETA Missus B&C, who happens to be Finnish, tells me it's Sweden. Bloody Scandanavia, all looks the same.

Thought it was way over priced. This is the one I am drooling over. Its only down the road from me so might have a little shufty at it.

Escorts are crazy prices due to rallying, everything else ford related is generally priced at the same kind of level as a similar classic

next.

Its not just Escorts though is it. MK1 Fiesta's go for stupid money as well even the biege 1.1L ones.

Way overpriced!

That's a cracker. Do all Lotus Cortinas have a 'Consul' badge on the bonnet?

Yes, deffo overpriced, the market has talked itself into a frenzy, I suspect it will level out now as people look for alternatives and nine grand boggo Escorts will drop down to normal levels, there is some serious value with other marques.

I personally wouldn't buy any car at any price that 'hadn't been used or moved in 10 years' as the ad suggests.

oh

[TXWRX]

if the shell and car really are in that good nick though there are guys in the rally scene that would happily pay that for it, a *new* fully built group 4 escort is what? £50k, some seem to go over £100k? part of which is the original car to build it from

edit to add, some nice cars on here too! http://www.richardlepleyracing.com/
