He sold it i think, for £100k + .... also sold one of the e30 M3's he bought for £80k. After buying both of them for £80k .... Win win.

I WILL get one! (RS1600i that is)
That's the current Focus RS 500. Same as the standard RS with cheap and nasty looking blanks where the heated seat control would be.

Seriously!? Is just a case of not wanting to look like an Essex pikey lol.
If I wasn't a Ford fan I wouldn't have them either although even if it was the Volkswagen equivilant i'd still appreciate them for the motoring history.
The fact they are Fords stirs something inside. I think Ford command that respect more than a lot of everyday manufacturers.
Correct.
Evo 5 RS
wow, that's a clean set of old cars...
Now where is the RS200? What do you mean you don't have one?
I'd keep the RS Turbo and flog the rest! Wouldn't be much of a collection then mind you :$

Kind of agree TBH, but I do appreciate the quality of the collection. It's pretty cool. Out of all those I'd probably have the dark silver whale tail Sierra. Undeniably cool car. Although probably not if you were wearing nappies when it was released.
Revels I could understand if he bought one on a whim or similar but the fact is there are more people than him paying that kind of money for similar examples. 40 year old Escorts commanding 30/40/50k. It's common.
Sometimes it's not the car that you buy. It's the history, the pedigree and the sensation of driving and owning something rare and special. Myself is a great example of my point. They are hundreds of cars better than my FRP out there for the same money. The Trophy for eg, but it's not always about how good the car is.
Ferrari owners are probably jealous that this guy has the only S1 RST in the world. Maybe it's becuase i'm a Ford fan I understand.
Harry Metcalfe has a Lamborghini Countach, he'll openly admit it's a nightmare to drive and probably the hardest car to drive. Sometimes it doesn't matter.

Marks a great guy,I met him when we did the 5th gear shoot,he was there in his Cossie up against the Cossie Merc.Great laugh and he live "next door" to Bonnie Tyler.
He told me the long story about Diana's car,he bought it with a different reg,then had to plead with the Crown and DVLA to release the original reg.In the end they agreed as long as it doesn't go on the road with it on.

What a clean collection of mediocre Essex hatchbacks. (Baseball) hats off to him.
We've had this discussion before.
Theres a cult surrounding Fast Fords like few other brands - the 80's models bring back a great deal of nostalgia for motoring of that era for many people. They're working class heroes essentially.
I bet not many on here lust over current Ferraris and Porsches because for most, they're unrealistic fantasies. Most people on here seem to lust after the latest Renaultsport model. So in a similar context, these have a wider spectrum of interest than say classic 80's Ferraris do.
I suppose you either get it or you don't.

CBR1000RR Fireblade
My favourite car in there for some reason, is the black S2 RS Turbo
Random, but this is my mother in laws RS turbo. i think its a series two but im not too sure;
it literally only gets driven about 10 times a year. its won a few concourse awards though
C'mon gally. You know the rules around here. If it isn't a French bucket, an M3 with broken suspension, some Jap heap with it's rusty belly scarping along the floor, or some exotic hyper-car, then it isn't worth anyone's time of day anywhere ever.
If that was a collection of old Peugeot 205s and Renault 5 GT Turbos, the Cliosport massive would be w**king off into their creaky, rattling, skew-wiff glove boxes. They wouldn't be 'just old French hatch backs'
Just sayin.
Clio182, 88'Scirocco
I would love an old ford, I love them especially the Sierra cossies same with mk1 and mk2 V-dubs love them so much (had the pleasure of owning a mk2 golf and jetta) but would do anything for a Sapphire or a Mexico Escort (not that clued up on numbers etc). And all them fords are RUST free
Mercury Clio 182
I want to know who goes out to the garage and buys a Ford with the intention of not driving it. I wonder how many of those Escrots have been stolen recovered? Lol!
