Never underestimate the passion for Fast Fords!
Do you mean never underestimate the amount of idiots who are willing to shell out loads of money for a s
tty old ford. 
I'll take your C55 off you then, should be worth about £1000

Considering you can pick these up for under a £1000 for a tatty one I think the seller might be waiting a long while...

That's ridiculous. Six years ago I sold a 45k example for half that amount! (and it was mint condition) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renaultsport-clio-172-cu...

The issue with these is:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renaultsport-clio-172-cu...
-They are a boy racer's car to most people who are not into cars
-There is no real nostalgia behind them
-While they are fun and superb they do lack a little character.
And yes, I owned a 172. I enjoyed it that much that I considered mothballing it considering it was a low mileage example.
BUT, my Series 1 RS Turbo was more fun. Even firing it up was an event, and it was great to just burble along in it. I hate to say but despite it being flawed I preferred it in a number of ways to my 944 Turbo. Wherever I went, be it work, the petrol station or car shows alot of people asked about the car, women, men, you name it. It was a car of a generation, like a few of these 80s cars.
As for restoring one for less, try it
. Most Fast Fords are now ringers IME and alot of the parts are not made or available, driving the prices one way. That caught me out quite a bit.That said, I did sell it. Partially due to the market, but also it's nice to not be looking over your shoulder to see if the car is still around.
A 58,000 mile immaculate, but modified / non-original Puma in a group I'm a member of, being advertised for £3,000 and the poster angrily deleting any comments from people suggesting it is overpriced.
To put that into context, in the same group someone is selling a very clean and tidy 74,000 miler with a short MOT and a slipping clutch for just £250.
The boom in "classic" performance Ford prices hasn't trickled down to the Puma yet, and I can't believe anyone would gamble £3,000 that it will any time soon. And for a non-original car as well.

Anyone want this one? Ford's are worth a fortune now, so this one at £10k is a bargin...

People are naturally able to ask whatever price they wish when they sell their vehicle. But 10,000 for a clown's polo with 180k on is either sheer greed or otherwise the vendor is a heavy crack cocaine smoker. Kierkegaard said:
Surely it had to be a typo and should be £1,000?Even that would be chancing it for a 180k mile polo with rusty floors.
