I know mate. The prices for anything "Cosworth" or "RS" these days is stupid money. It's detached them from being the working men's super car.
It's nice in the way that it's a good investment, but a big part of me wants them to again be affordable to the working man.

According the Sapphire Cosworth registrar within the RS Owners Club, they're averaging going up £2k a year.
I think the ball park figure is £12-15k at the moment for respectable ones. Exceptional ones will be more as per usual with any marques.
The Sapphire's don't have the Motorsport history...
Well that's what I'm thinking. Nippy, great handling (particularly the Trophy), and a LOT cheaper than owning a Cossie. To own a Cossie you've pretty much gotta be able to afford two with all their upkeep.
Well I may be mad to part with a Cossie, but when you need to extend your house and need funds then the easiest way is to sell the prized asset and buy a cheaper 2nd car that'll still be fulfilling whilst putting a few ££££'a in my pocket.
Let's just say that selling a Cossie will be a slow...
Yeah you're right on the rare coloured 182's front. In comparison, the make Trophy's look common!!! Even then, nice Trophy's are hard to come by as well.
Well I'm happy to play the long game really. It'll only ever be a second car, so it's not as though I'd be going without something to drive...
Ok, ok, but this is a one off. I don't like to talk about other marques on forums for cars of other makes. My other car is only a BMW 3 Series which is my daily. I won't bore you with pics of that.
But here's some of my Cossie. These were taken last summer. Since then it has had its original...
Hi all,
Although not yet a ClioSport owner, I have been enthusiastic about them for a while.
In the process of selling one of my cars in order to make way for a 182 Trophy, or a petrol blue or liquid yellow 182.
Looking forward to reading some of the interesting and helpful topics on here...
