http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ford-Sierra-RS...item1e5c7f1484

Stolen from the sierra room on this forum i think this is amazing that these cars are still turning up like this just makes you wonder will they ever stop being found like this (rs's) in general.

Bit like mine. Except mines not a 500 just a 3 door Rs, been sat 17 years in dry storage, Just spent past 3 months getting it sorted and Mot'd again, wasnt forgotten though. my mates dad owned it and the black one Ive just sold, we restored the black one 3 years ago and just done the same to mine. Well mechanical restoration anyway, runs like a good un now, Just to do some bits on body work.
They keep popping up

I'm guessing that is potentially be crashed or been in an accident?

Seems odd for a 4 year old (when it was taken off the road) car to have the front bumper, drivers wing and door painted.

Seems to have shot up in price fairly quick, will keep an eye on this!
Will be strange if it goes over Ł20k though, since there's a black 39k miler for sale that's in perfectly good nick for Ł19.5k on PH (apart from it's shit interior)

A moonstone in a lot worse condition than this one, poorly stored, sold for 22k recently, with similar miles/owners.

Old Fords fetch big money if they are original.
Look at these prices, the buyer can spend a lot on that car & be quids in.

are you serious?

my 3 year old mondeo has had the passengers doors repainted along with the bonnet front wings and bumper..

cars under 3 years old arn't immune from getting scratched, kicked and generally abused!

as for why it's at the price it is at already then people may be bidding like me and put there top price in and wait, so if 2 people did that bingo the price goes up!, I don't wait till the last minute to bid, on ebay

also the car has had a low number of owners that does make it more desirable than one thats on owner 20!!

is this a known car,is there pics of it on the 500 database?

it would be great if this was another one found,you should try and get a pic of it

a bet this white 500 does about 24k or more

Default RS500

car is num 430 and known to the rs owners club

the owner expected 12 to 15 k for it.

Correct

It is known to the RSOC and i have it on file

My bidding has ended now tho as IMO the car has passed its true value

I also suspect some ( iffy bidding ) going on
