What are your thoughts people? Will these ever be worth good money or they worth as much as they'll ever be? Just wondering like.

I think they will go up in price. I really really like fiesta turbos.

A nice clean standard looking example would be worth sensible money, but I can't see then being a 'solid' investment.

Ye I was wondering, seen a few for the 3-4k mark and it got me thinking they would go the same way as the series 1. cant be too many left on the road? (A similar number to series 1s?)

I've had some nice ones, I really like them as they feel a little more refined compared to the escort - I sold my last one in 2008 as a complete restored for Ł4100 which was near top money so I'd think today's prices may be nearer 5 so they will rise for good ones

Big demand for top ones, I only had to mention to someone I was thinking of selling mine and he was on my doorstep next morning with a fistfull of cash

It's Czech Mate

Current classic imo, prices for mint original ones will only go one way

gjh

does look nice up there^^^^ Actually kind of tempted by one, my op will hopefully really start working for me next year (they didn't tell me this before I had it but they say it takes 2 years to get working fully) so hopefully then I will be in the market for a slice of RS action (or a mk2 escort)

My one I bought earlier this year, 23800 miles from new, all original panels, completely standard.

Stunning !

Owning one and seeing the prices going the way they are, i know what i would rather invest in - mk1 focus rs

Here's an earlier one of mine..

Cos500

An original car may be worth something in 20 years or so, this particular car or one that looks like it I doubt will have the same appeal.

Pete frst

Fortunately i'm not bothered about future gains as i like to tinker about with them...But saying that if someone can keep one standard and original for that time then good luck to them.....

Not exactly hard to put back to standard either. So that comment is invalid!

Mine is modified and kept to a standard look, Only because its my 2nd daily driver. My S2 on the other hand is far from standard, and I modified it with being different and I don't care about its resale value as I don't plan on getting rid of it.

Great little car that so often gets over looked. My brother had mint a red k reg with a t3 conversion. The wastegate was epic! It loved being bounced off the Rev limiter.

Alot less frst's than S1's.


they are very underrated cars, will leave an escort for dead through the twisties, are far more refined fuelling wise and alot easier too maintain imop.. tbh having owned erst's and still currently having a frst id take the fez any day.


standard minters are VERY rare and tbh they deserve to go the way the escort has in price over the years as well.


I love mine, just need too get her done ffs lol.

Cool cars RSmark.

Steve/pd1 you know how much i loved the look of your old fezza.

gjh

They do look good! Do really like the look of them.

gingeRS

i drove a few FRST and always preferred the handling of the escort

good cars though and plenty of go as they were light, especially with a few rust holes in them

STeve

iTrader: (11)

to be fair though frst and erst are both prone to tea strainer syndrome

JK12

iTrader: (1)

Love mine, i have seen a few good examples going for good money and sold very quickly!

Fraggle...

iTrader: (1)

pure harsh lol.


gotta be honest my frst is the most solid rs ive owned, just a shame I ain't got time too fill the
holes I have found in..ffs lol
Anyone who has seen mine has been shocked how solid it is for a mk3 fez..
they just need waxoiling, drainage channels kept clear, and all arch lips kept clean which tbh rarely happens hence they rot :-(

i have just bought one so hopefully they'll go up in value

Love that! Looks fab

andy888

love the red standard one posted above. wanna sell it?

RSmark84

Is that mine you are asking about? If so no plans, but only if offer was good.

paceo

iTrader: (5)

the only way is up

Turboboy67

If it's mine you're asking about, it probably will be for sale in the New Year.

imnoteasy

Been looking for one. Nothing very good for sale at the moment. I thought 5k would of bought a really nice original car.

I'm wrong. Seems you need more

Fraggle...

iTrader: (1)

Allow 8k for an unmolested one, and even then it wont be concourse...turboboys is as near as damb it too original.


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.

imnoteasy

Same kind of price as an s1 turbo now for a mint one.

Bloody old fords gone mad.

Turboboy67
