B19-TRB

only seen J's but heard of a K plate!

Is it Black!? was it efi!?

DOO

Rare on a k plate but nothing special just prob sat i a field for a year or so before being sold.
same as any other RST

reg don`t mean nothing just the year it was reg on the road.

My work sold some old shape transits new on 52 plate happens quite a lot just old stock.

adamS2RST

Bradz

you think ford made a one off EFI ERST just cos its a K?

like said, nuthin amazin really just sat unregistered

cossiecrew

i have seen a red k plate was for sale in rallye news rsoc mag about 2 year ago ive also come across a m reg magenta saph with cream leather on a m reg theres plenty of reasons why these cars pop up mainly late registered where theyve been sat in a yard unregistered for years and then years later get registered so i 100% believe ya mate

mattbibs

but that would sell for mega bucks!! i thought getting a J reg one was special enough!

Zetec_mk4_XR3i

Did you say it was grey mate? Me and my mate saw a grey K plate S2 Turbo in Dalgety Bay, Fife about a year ago, totally standard, orange indicators and all!

Bradz

That sounds like it mate.

Im in Aberdeen not too far from fife, this one was 100% standard.

edd

dude its just a plate

mattbibs

i know - but i'm sure it will fetch more than its worth just because of it!

being only one or two in the country has to increase the value!

many moons ago at an rs show cant remember what one saw an L plate 3 dr moonstone bloke said he bought it and jus stored it and decided to register it 93-94 i will try and dig out the photo from my archive ps. it could take some time

edd

even if its a worn out shed?

i cant see the attraction with motors that are late registered. its still the same car as the one that was on the line at the same time.

there could still be a newer built car with an older plate as well.

i never bother about plate when i buy a car just when it was built and is it in good nick thats all that really matters.

anyone that pays extra money is a mug imo.

yeah its the same as the D Reg Series 1's, they just sat about stored for a while longer, then was Registered a bit later, all the Series 1's built finished at a certain time. There is a Pic of some un-registered series 1's in rally news too.

trev1976

ive never even seen a J reg one let alone a K plate

edd

your not missing much trev its still a mk4 escort

I know it was built from a shell but if you can get a three door on a 'Y' reg (2000) a 'K' plate series two is certainly not difficult to achieve.

Don't undertstand why private owners, garages, dealers leave these cars lying about for years

MikeyXR2i

I think the reason some don't sell, is sales could go quiet, then pick up.

Bradz

Yea, but D plate S1's make alotr more than B and C plate ones.

Ok its maybe not amazing a K plate S2, but in my books its still Rare and going buy the look over i gave it it was fooking mint (which is RARE for a S2 lol.

Id bet alot of money that it would fecth alot more than a H plate in the same condition.

Cawood

did ford ever make the MK4 RST with EFI?!?! i was told my someone that they did, but i've never heard of one or seen one?

CabrioTurbo

never used that actual EFi management in one.. however the later ERST's used the EFi block with had pic ups for cps etc

Cawood

ah thats what it is. will my h-reg 1990 have the latter EFI block then?

MikeyXR2i

Hows that?

adamS2RST

Cos there is about 8 or so left? who knows, but it all boils down to the above, late reg, so nout speacial, just dont see it often i guess

edd

not if the older cars the better condition car, you'd only pay more then if you were retarded.

you'd have to be a bit of a mug to pay more anyway, the ONLY reasons it would be worth more is if it was BETTER condition and LOWER miles better HISTORY.

'ere you, your sellin ur H-plate RST, you should be bangin on about how the later plates are worth much more!

MikeyXR2i

my thoughts are the same, i payed over 7 for my C plater, i wouldn't pay big money for a D plater if it was a shed.

BillyCabrio

iTrader: (1)

Yeah thats near me in Dartford, I couldn't belive my eyes when i see that yard with all them unregistered Rs Cossies, Turbos and 500's!!

edd

rich i'd have bought mine if it was a 86 in the same condition/spec

MikeyXR2i

Yeah that was back in the day mind, when they were new.

vroooom ptssssh

wheres that pic, someone scan it out of rally news pleaaaaaaaaase!!!???

Bradz

Yea obviously ud pay the most for the car in the best condition, no matter what the age..

my point was, if u had a C, reg S1 and D, reg S1 both in identical condtion the D, reg would make more, due to being more RARE, thats a fact.
