well out of all the series 2 rs turbos which were sold in the uk throughout its run does anyone know how many are still registered as on the road. a friend of a friend has told him he got an insurance quote for when he passes hes test and they told him that hes car is worth 7.5k as its rare because theres only around 500 left, and its going to cost him around £500 for the premium.

Whatever insurance company told him that was speaking rubbish mate lol, s2s are gettin lower in numbers like any old car, but there are certainly more than 500, and I have never heard of an insurance company valuing a mark 4 escort anywhere near that amount. The book price on a s2 is probably about £400

Id say theres alot more than 500 left on the road as for the value of 7.5k no insurance company would give you that value without coming out to look at the car or at least seeing receipts ect.. to even entertain that value as all they work off is the book value and it's down to you to prove your car is worth that amount unless it's like it just come out the factory??

This could be an extremely long thread if everyone starts naming what they have individually
