VERY HARD TO PUT VALUES ON THESE CARS

but i can give you an idea.

eggenburger car for sale in swizerland still owned by eggenburger them selfs, chassie number 99268 winner of the spar 24hr in 89, and ex texaco car, thye are selling this car for Ł103,000 pounds!! without spares!!

my eggenburger car is chassie 99269 and an ex texaco car sister car to the above, so in a real world must be worth 50k plus p.s cheapest eggenburger car i have ever seen for sale was 60k, in five years i have only sean three eggenburger cars for sale,

still considering selling this car in the near future as i dont have anough room for another and have a new project in mind,


labatts car,

last one left and all that, bla bla bla still only worth whot someone will pay, but must be valued at 45k plus, but i thing i will be burried in this car.


ANZ car well whot can i say it was a very good find and very rare find,

with the alan moffat and andy rouse history and the alain fertay makes it a bit of a gem,

interesting car that led the 1987 bathurst 1000 race and was the first sierra rs500 alan moffat drove, i value it at 30k plus,
if i gave it a new coat of paint and cleaned it up a bit and changed it back to rhd, it would be like 40k plus

moffat liked it so much the next year he bought his own sierra to race,

even if you pull out of a shed an ex touring car with no history built out of cast off parts, it would have a good value as if you break the parts down it would break for 20k.


so if you are offered a real touring car for less than 20k then snap it up.

then add money for history and you will have a price from say 20k to 50k for your average car,

is that close enough for you.

the value of these cars add up with the 9" diff and getrag gearbox and groupA suspention and brakes and then the 500 spoilers and engine, bbs wheels and centre lock hubs,

soon adds up,

Stunning mate, absolutely stunning! What a garage to have, dream car garage of Ford RS History there! Well Done to you for putting in so much time, effort and money to keep alive some Touring Car History!

I still dream about seeing these things run, still absolutely gutted that I missed National Day this year!

Wonderful cars, I remember the feature Fast Ford did on them, was brilliant to see them on track!

You really need to see the video.
I'm sure it's called "street racing in Birmingham"??

It has Murray Walker commentating.
Think I too got it from the RS Owners website.

Lovely lovely cars...

I have fond memories as a kid of the birmingham street races... funny one thing I always remember on the incar footage from these cars was Murray walker in his usual excitable manner shouting something about "watch the white needle on the guage in the centre of the car... how quickly it moves up and down" lol

obviously the boost guage I can see it now still like 15 years on clear as a bell....he may have been talking about THIS very one!!!



Unbelievable well done Martin And as has been said well done to you for sorting the few las at Nat day

he was!

my labatts car is the same one harvey used for both 89 and 90 seasons and in 90 tim had only 1 bar of boost and was pointing to the gauge for the camera, with murry walker taking about it,

the birmingham races can be seen on the 89 and 90 btcc touring car vidoes.

Wow, nice RS500s there!

Pics like this really improve me to get my Sierra project rolling, it's maybe far from this type, but still I now want to get my hands dirty with the old good OHC.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...981033-2299824
thats the 92 australian video but its mostly skylines winning
well worth the 12 quid tho
and also the 1990 one
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...981033-2299824
also what year did the 3dr start racing as its in the 92 aussie video and on this 1984 european vid

the sierra started raceing as three doors in 86 and then 500 spec in 87

that video like a few of them has the wrong car on the front cover and does say in the spec that the car on the front is not in there!!

the 90/91/92 au videos are good and all of the bathurst ones are worth getting from 87/88/89/90 as well
