Following this 75k RS500 thread i never though they would be worth that much but if thats where the market it as then all i can say is i wish i had one lol

But got me thinking what late 80 early 90s cars of the same type are worth that (none exotic cars, porshce, jags, ferrari ect)

Theres lotus Carltons but i wouldnt think they were in that price range, i guess other type cars such as pug T16, SWB audi quattros or others that were made or rally or touring cars would fetch simIlar money??

 

a lotus carlton of that same condition would be big money and quick still stock even by todays standards.

 

Are there any cars out there that have been built in limited numbers.

Think they would be worth a bit if there wanted.

 

r5 gordini things are worth good money
There was a group be citroen bx turbo thing that went for good money to.

If something is rare and a following for that certain car then it will fetch good money but the following has got to be there, something with racing history is normally the thing that means something is desirable and fetches more money.

Something like a concorse austin montego is never going to be worth 50k is it lol

 

Loads if cars are built in limited numbers or special editions and stuff

ax gt 500
seen a escort mk4 cabbie all white edition the other day on egay
r5 turbo raider
309 gti goodwood
205 rallye

Not even a Gordini!

The e30 M3 evolution sport is probably the best comparison.

Mark sold the two delivery miles ones for Ł75k each last year, I imagine they would be a lot more now

 

Lotus Carltons are worth a bob or two now definitely, and as said, they still get a shift on! When I went out in one thick 11s were the order of the day lol

 

r5 turbo 2 gotta be worth a bit? still one of the rwd ones.

 

merc 190 2.5 16v evo 1 and 2,s go for very good money if you can find one! http://bringatrailer.com/2010/09/27/...0e-2-5-evo-ii/

 

fiat 131 sport/racing

evo integrale

two of my favs

 

SWB Audi Quattro?

 

RS200.

 

a genuine lancia stratos would be worth a few quid too!

 

lotus carltons are bargains compared to alot of the cars we are talking about,prob the fastest out of them all as well!just fecking expensive to repair

 

What about the vauxhall nova that came with twin 40,s as std ( think thats right they seemed to be always White with the little vauxhall colour stickers in them )

 

they never come from factory like that,the twin 40's were in the boot and had to be fitted during the pdi if customer wanted them or so i been told

 

Fiesta RS1800 massively overlooked car imo

 

Nova Sport 1.3 a tad quicker than a GTE to 60

 

Nova sport same as what colin mcrae used to rally back in the day my mate used to own 1 surprisingly quick for a 1.3

 

I'll be honest, I've never seen an RS1800 going for big figures

 

I'd absolutley love a lotus Carlton,
Capri 280 brooklands fetch a fair penny

 

Definitely a rare 90s car rather than an expensive on. Values will start to climb soon though. They're a future classic

 

Lotus Carltons are still pretty cheap.

You can pick a good one up for less than Ł20k easily. You would think they would have started rising a lot more by now, but they seem to have hovered around that price bracket or les for years.

I heard of a one owner car with 35k on it sell for Ł12,000 a few months ago!

 

What about the renault clio williams would you class that as a rare car ?

 

not worth mega money, but less around than rs turbos/cosworths for sale.

the cavalier gsi turbo/calibra turbo but personally perfer the cav.

 

i thought they were worth more than that, i wonder how tuneable the lump is ?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/K-reg-VAUX...ht_1146wt_1396

Even cheaper..

 

I have heard this as well, read the other day that a set of brake discs will set you back Ł500, it gets my vote though!

Saying that though, a Cosworth isn't a cheap car to run either!

And yes it was the worlds fastest production saloon car (177 MPH), held the title for years, I should think it was only taken by the E39 M5 or the like.

The Cosworth, however, was the first production car to produce more than 100HP per litre, which is a superior achievement imo, trouble with the Carlton is that it was a very expensive car born in a recession!

a very rare car an just goig up an up in value

vw golf rallye another rare 80s/90s car

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3995733.htm

 

Not really, you can have a decent one for 3DR money, they don't really have the fame that the Cosworth has, which is what I think keeps prices high along with rarity value!

m3 evo cecotto
classic minis

I read somewhere, in Redline a while back I think, that some Scandinavians were running stupid amounts of power in them, we're talking 900+, but not even Redline could find anything about them. Thing is, it'd be some rather expensive development

 

Mk1 uno turbo? My 89' reg white mk1 is one of 90 (12 on the road and 72 sorn) in the uk, but as yet, still isn't worth much - one day maybe!?

Tom

 

Not massive amounts of money but what about 22b, P1 and RB5 imprezas? wouldnt be surprised if the value of these goes up in a few years time

 

Good shout. Now the classic scoob is a cheap car i can see their numbers declining and the value of the special ones rising quickly.

Tom

 

dont think some of the cars said above (rs1800, cilo, nova, uno ect) will ever reach good money like the rs500 and such.

The lotus carlton seems cheap really for what you get its quicker than the 500 and from what the interweb says there were only 320 vauxhall ones made and 630 opel ones so rarer too??

 

Hell no - never 'that money', but a mint examples will surpise people - one day!

Tom

 

i would like a carlton oneday seem a good investment no?
i would imagine a car like that would surely go up from the cureent value.
