RS 1600i with 1,100 miles on. I saw this car years ago at the then RS centre in Chesterfield where it was up for sale @ £9,500.

Yours today for.........................£97,500 of your English pounds please.....!!

97 grand...!!!!!!!!!! :o :o Oh how I wish I’d bought it back then, but I didn’t want a white one....

What a donkey....... :headbang: :headbang: :bag:

Just because they want £97k for it doesnt mean they will get £97k for it.
Maybe there is an extra 0 thats not meant to be there. :lol:

I'm sorry but I just don't get this thing with old 'fast' Fords! Honestly £97k ! Just ridiculous. :o

As a former owner of a few, I can understand it - just not the prices! :eek:

I loved my Capri 2.8 Injections, but not enough to pay as much for one of those as my Z4C - that just seems crazy! :roll:

Bonkers. :o It's speculators that push prices of these cars up, not true collectors. Clearly there is too much spare dosh in some folk's pockets. :roll: Not a market I will ever understand. :D

Agreed had an RS2000 the later ones with the fishnet recaro seats and shovel nose front back in the day, they are now very expensive, not that quick and a bit jumpy on the road, having said that would love another bertone GTV again as they were special

I owned a Mk 1 RS2000 years ago. All the AVO plates etc. TDC 823M - I sold it early 80’s for about £1500 to go towards a Fiesta Supersport for Mrs K. :(

Have to agree with all the comments, I really don’t know what makes them so desirable, only rarity I suppose, most have rotted away like an old Alfa Romeo. I’m a fan but even if I could afford it I wouldn’t pay 97k for what is essentially a warm Xr3i with a brake linkage to the right that makes the weedy 260mm stoppers even more.....erm....weedy. 115bhp as opposed to 105 bhp from an xr3i, just a wilder cam and twin coils, plus the twin roll bar up front from the S1 RS turbo, shark grey Scheel bucket seats and that really is about it, Madness...!!
