Between the start and buy it now price is where you'd expect it to be - they go for good money - this needs a few easy repairs but nothing that is going to effect the price too much

That one is made of fibreglass though so it won't be genuine. I think the mould was taken from a real one because it has the Ford logo on it.

I just look at the prices of some Ford RS stuff now and laugh!!

Then again everyone will laugh in the future, when low miler mk1 mondeos start coming out of the woodwork and being advertised for £5000 etc!

People just jump on the bandwagon for the "next best modern classic", and they themselves bump the price up.

In 2002 when i was 16 i was offered an immaculate mk2 escort rs2000 (flat front) in signal yellow for £500 and i turned it down as i was skint. Now look at the fucking price of restored beige 4drs
