hi there, does anyone know how many series 2 rs turbos there are left on the road ????.

dave.

 

Dunno what u mean by this mate, but imo i think there will be none left the amount that are being stripped / broke.....

 

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

 

PMSL!! That cannot be right at all!!!!!
What Insurance company was that!??

 

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??

 

Here in Israel we have 3 of them....so you can count them in

 

do you have 1 of them . be cool to have 1 of only 3 ina country let alone a town.

 

3249.5

 

£500 pounds for insurance on a series 2 just after he passes his test, however old is he?

 

i have 3 and another few dozen i forgot to scrap on the logbook

 

If i remember rightly there where around 22,000 s2 rs turbo's produced. Obviously most now in a scrapyard heaven

 

such a shame, ive known them given away to scrap men and other than that the cheapest whole car ive heard of was £15 :blub:

 

Your gonna hate me but i scrapped one yesterday! and whilst i was there i spotted another one that had been crushed still with the loom, recaro's, stainless exhaust amongst some other bits. Couldnt believe it!

 

well ive got 2 mercury grey 1's both on g plates

 

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