I'm betting he be at 10k+ come sale time....but if you want a solid one that's as it should be, u gotta get ya fold out and I would for one as solid as that.


the other option is a resto, but parts are incredibly rare now even basic stuff, even harder if OE.


Good luck on ya hunt though they are an awesome machine and tbh only really slated by people who know f-all about nowt imop, they are very simple, easy too maintain, and go round the bends on rails if built well.

That's what would worry me with any older ford, part availability and the prices that come with it, I find it all a bit off putting TBH.

OE concourse are VERY rare most are modified anways, simply a case of dechavving and making sure the rare bits are still present(greens,kit is solid....)..


Tbh every models of ford suffers
spares rareness' so id not be too worried, just pick what u want it for(originality/or a working example) and buy one.


Love mine and miss driving her soooo much.

There going the same way as mk4 escorts now the rough ones need loads of welding so good condition ones hold a massive premium there gettin to an age where good ones have probably had a restoration and paint job

But I'd class them as a classic now they are 25 years old after all

I would say so

RS1800 not really a desirable car so can't compare.

I'd buy one if I ever sell my saff, that or an escos

Had this in a couple of months ago, nice clean tidy example, think the guy paid about £2800 for it.
