Default Would you pay nearly 30k for a s1?

Just been reading the post on the RSOC regarding Princess Diana's black S1.

The guy that owns it has had an offer "well in excess" of 20k and more closer to 30k

SURELY this is way way overpriced, although I do understand its a case of what someone will sell something for and another to buy something for..

if you get offered near 30k for a mk3 escort

id be snapping the blokes arm off

regardless of whos owned it

but at that sort of offer it sounds like a collector of possible royal family items

That must be an old post??

Worth whatever someone is willing to pay..and there's plenty of rich collectors who loved Diana and would cherish something like this. Plus the bonus of it being the only ford painted black S1 if they are also a car collector.

True but i still wouldnt pay stupid money for something that someone famous had owned.

I remember a few years back a BMW that david beckham owned, that went for a stupid price.

I doubt very much the smell of Diana is still on those seats after 20 years !!

And if I was Jeff and sold it to some pervy looking bloke, I'd make sure I farted on the seat before handing over the keys to him

She never owned it, it was just loaned to her by Ford, but it was built for her. They even changed the grill do lower the "sports" look apparently.

i remember a bloke in the rsoc going to look at that car,
he did not buy it because it had a mascot fitted to the bonnet,leaving
holes when taken off,around 1988, i remember thinking you chonker
that will be worth ŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁ's. if it sells or sold for Ł30k
i will have proved myself right....
and it would only have taken 18 years

now what about the "CATS EYES" RS TURBO, that one was famous
for being azure blue and in the tv programme, driven by leslie ash

I'm sure if more PD fans knew it was for sale, it would make Ł30k+, she did and still has got a strong following of fans!

Jimi Hendrix never played smoke on the water tho. That was by the band DEEP PURPLE - add to the fact that Hendrix died in 1970, and Smoke On The Water was not written untill 1972......
