Thats lovely, but its seriously expensive for essentially an old Ford.

 

[Jack!]

What sets different ones of these apart?

Looking at PH and C&C, it looks like values vary massively. I'm no fast/classic Ford fan, so what's the different in value between a Mk1 Mexico, RS 2000 etc.

Also, the advert is properly s**t for the sale of such a car - call if you'd like to know more? How about you just put some f**king info in the description, at least some basics. Decent whole car shot or two wouldn't be bad either.

 

[dangerous dave]

If I won that car in a raffle I'd sell it and get a load of hookers..

Maybe a new robot sex doll

 

[Addicted]

Wont do 180mph im out. Elbows pointy too.

 

[Waitey]

Jesus the guy I bought the mini off has a original Mexico 1.6 in his garage. Never seen the wet, everything on it is ford, even has a ford branded cam and fan belt. I hate to think what that is worth....

Its the history isnt it ?
1970 ford introduced the RS1600 BDA and started winning rallies left right and centre. For rallying fans the rest is history !
Just google RS1600 BDA and have a look how important this car was for ford on a competitive level

All that money and things like the rear axle is hammerited. Surely you'd get it powder coated..

 

[cat171]

That is one truly s**t ad! For a car like that people need to get into details, it's not difficult!

 

[Advikaz]

Someone say BDA !?

 

[Willo40]

Ad is sh!t, but look at the watchers, and bids and how many views an hour, Surely that's a better investment than property or putting your money in the bank?

Not really..

 

[Willo40]

Not really..

I would have thought they are appreciating faster than the interest rate you can get in bank? A similar car sold at auction in 2013 for 30k, and someone has already bid over 40k for that, 30% increase in 2 years? maybe property was a bad example....

It's probably better than the bank but property, I doubt it.

Edit prob 20k

 

[Mr Burns]

70k...

Edit prob 20k

£16k IIRC.

 

[Stefan.]

£16k IIRC.

Ouch

 

[Addicted]

£16k IIRC.

Go punch him in the dick!

I bet he still made a nice profit at the time though right? But certainly not compared to now.

Yeah that was the going rate at the time.

 

[rs 1an]

This rs1600 bda is a more collectable car than a mexico or rs2000 as the current 40k plus bid shows, ive never seen this engine/ car before and i was in the rs owners club at age 18, ive been in a rs2000 mk1 built by janspeed and a 3.1 rs capri but these rs1600 bda cars never come out. Many of these ford rs cars are death traps as ford stopped making the body shells a long while ago and to be honest they were pretty poor handling cars anyway.

 

[Mr Burns]

In their day they were the dogs danglies though

 

[cat171]

Someone bought it for £50k.
