cosworth specific stuff will always be worth more, but the general run of the mill sierra stuff always gets "cossie" put into it as this then triples the value
don't know how much stuff i threw away over the years or gave away, i'm not that interested in the hoarding if parts now as i was 15 years ago when i had enough spares to build at least 2 complete cars

Ive got a few spares too. I always look on ebay for cossie parts then a save the link to parts and see what they sell for.
There was a pair of saff cossie front fog lights that sold for over 2p0 quid.

I do wonder if this is a bubble though. Yes there iconic and that makes them valuable but with are generation that grew up with cosworths. If you ask a 18 something now about cosworths like the 3 lads at my work they don't care or know what a Sierra is. So there's no way on earth there pay 10 grand plus for one

There still be enthusiasts but I don't think there be the die hard ones who grew up watching them race who are prepared to spend the numbers some do now! Before I busted my engine if I took mine into the workshop it hardly got a look! But nippers low lupo with orange wheels or the other ones super low 318 e36 they was all over them lol

I totally agree I have been saying this for a while, I'm only 22 and I really like cossies but all my mates don't like them and prefer more capable imprezas and evos ect. Most cossies owners will mostly be in their 40's I highly doubt there will be much interest in 15 years, I mean what youngster wants an old ford that's only causes paranoia pmsl

Don't know what it's like in the UK, But young lads love Sierras over here! (Although most of them are non cosworth)
How many are even left? The amount stolen, burnt out, crashed, broken for parts must be astronomical. Just look how many classic Fords have a YB fitted.
Getting a decent Cosworth is getting harder and harder. Prices arn't going to go bonkers, But I can see a decent Cosworth with MOT going for the £15k mark in a short few years.
There will always be young guys into Cosworths, I bought mine in January (At 20) Even though I can't drive the fucker for another 5 years due to insurance! I still love everything Cosworth!

I've noticed that gum tree is covered in Sierras from Ireland with welded dIffs ect all going for strong money. The weird thing is all the adds always say in the description (not bora, golf, 306, xsara, twin cam) lol you tell if a car is forsale in Ireland as all their titles are like that lol

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
I guess as the price of the 3 doors appear to be shooting up, the ripple effect is the next in line cosworth will begin to increase.
I too had noticed there is little under £10k that I would want to get involved in, either too modified, knackered or no history.
Not sure if it is just a summer thing and prices maybe settle come winter? Saying that, I purchased my car with ice on the roof in Fife in December and once I'd decided I was going to get one I didn't care what the weather was like..

Think people are just Wanting to keep hold of theirs as if they sell them it will be hard to replace if they wanted another.

Happily retired
Time will tell what happens to prices of Cosworths. Mk1 Escorts, Lotus Cortina's & 60's sporting Fords have not fallen in price so maybe they will follow suit. I will be pushing up daisies in 15 years time so I wont be around to find out.

If I'd not picked mine up in bits for a couple of k I'd never have had another, rule of cossies you buy it for 15k you need another 15k to put it right.

The question you have to ask is are they actually selling at that price?
One person chances his arm and asks 10k for an average Saph, then everyone else thinks theirs it worth 10k so chucks them up for sale. It doesn't mean they're actually worth 10k...
This seems to happen a lot in the Ford world!

I think there's less saphs than 3 doors left I'm told?
Wouldn't be surprised and they are the first to get ripped to bits and probably most likely to get nicked over the years as they used to be cheap and parked out on the street ect.
Don't know if how manys left is accurate to go by.

Then you have the RWD guys, So Altezzas/IS200 anything BMW & Sierras.
Most of the RWD guys know what a Cosworth is, But can't afford one. Hence nearly every 'Cosworth' you see here is a replica.
If anyone is half thinking of buying an E36 325i/328i M-Sport, Do it now. Even a 318is.
Guarantee there next to rocket up in price over the next few years.
