Fairplay, certainly sounds like its got a good comprehensive history. You drive it much?

Sadly because of its rarity, & parts that are unobtainable.... in the ten years coming up ive had her.... never taken her further than the block paving in my street. sad really.

^which is why i don't get the appeal to its value. it's basically an ornament then? :dapprove:

You could say that mate yea. i should have bought one, that was rough around the edges to rag lol.
Megane r26
Sounds a real shame that you don't get the chance to enjoy driving it, that alone would kill me!

Seems like a bit of a waste then, but I see the appeal of keeping it.

Yup, tis alot of bread for an old C reg escort lol. But over the years been bombarded with offers for the car.... many of them well worth taking. But its 30 years old in 2 & abit years, and there will be a big Celebration in the RS scene, so would like to go to the shows.

Too true m8, the modern hot hatches are so much better though lol, gimme my 172 anyday to shred the road up!!!

surely it costs money to keep it in that condition year in year out, and parts must become frail and need replacing even if its not driven. i just can't see it as a good investment personally.
Still credit to you!! by all means i can appreciate it.

sj2112, yes.... the car is kept tip top, things have to be monitored through the years.... etc, i wouldnt just let it sit there.
Can't say I've ever seen a precedent to back that value up. Double what any other has sold for i would think. Sounds an epic example though. Maybe bonkers would buy it.

bonkers.... already has Princess Di's one in black.... & a S1 in white. i know he gave bigger money for Diana's one than mine would ever command.
Lots of fords get put up for silly money but don't sell though so don't confuse advertised prices and actual sale prices.

like i say... gimme a modern hot hatch anyday lol. The S2, was a more smoother refined car than the S1.... had a different 5th gear ratio so it revved lower on the motorway, softer suspension, also didnt have the special Viscious LSD diff the S1 had. There were loads of differences..... the best move ford made, is when they went EFi on there injection systems, which the RS turbo never saw as standard.

This was advertised for £8995 and sold.
Dont see why a similar condition 172 wouldnt do the same in 10 years. Just my prediction. We'll see.
Did it sell for the full asking price?
VERY low mileage at 4k, but Im still gobsmacked at that price TBH
Even 205s rarely go for that much.

An I know which one I'd rather own, the 205 gti was one of the original hot hatchs hence the kudos that goes with it, the 106 gti although a cracking car in many ways it was the choice of your local ring road heros an heavily mass produced (not that the 205 wasn't) an theres still plenty of them left. I could advertise my car for 10k, all cause its on ebay, ph etc for that doesn't mean it will sell!
only RS cars worth hanging onto for the future is the Williams and the V6 (in that order), all the others aren't really special enough, Trophy's "maybe" but unlikley as it is just a 182 cup with fancy shocks/seats/spoiler/wheels in reality (so can be easily recreated in future from a 182 cup pack car)
The unique colour on the trophy probably helps slightly in terms of making it harder to reproduce, but I agree that the williams and the V6 are the only ones worthy of "investing" in.
And then only VERY low miles examples of course if its ever going to be worth a lot.

Sometimes i'd happily exchange mine for a big Mac (as long as its a large meal with banana shake)
Not when it comes to collectors, for a collector to be interested it has to be utterly mint inside and out, and has to be low miles, if its not all of those things it wont command the massive premium that collectors pay.

Hoping to hang onto my Monoco 172 for a few years, they have a decent spec on em, colour's quite rare, i dont see many anyway. Not sure that there value will shoot up though in years to come.

The clio williams would now be a future classic and already soaring in value had Renault not ruined its rarity by producing the 2&3
Fact

Anyone remember Just Williams? The UK group that had a go at Renault for basically reneging the original 400 car limited run.
They have made some great little cars, but IMO they don't give a s**t about enthusiasts and never have. That is why no one will ever be willing to pay decent money for a twenty year old Clio.

Agreed. The initial williams owners were livid at paying over the top for a limited edition and then renault releasing 2 more versions almost identical!
I agree, see plenty of high mileage 205 GTIs and old skool fords with high miles but in pristine condition up for good money (and selling).
Not for really good money you dont, thats the reserve of the low milers.
Serious collectors hate anything with many miles on the clock.
Not really good, but still good considering.
I would say £3000-3500 for old 205's on 90+k miles is good money given what they are.
If a ph1 172 was still fetching that in 5 years time on those sort of miles you would say that is good, because that's more than what they're worth at the moment!
