why have series 1 gone up in value so much & the escort cosworth seems to be on the slide?

[russellsmith]

I know that cunt faggie,not seen him in years what a name to have eh

I've been thinking of the fish guys one as well mate,it would be a belter with a nice hit a paint 1 previous owner with 57k on the clock

But I've always wanted a D reg one as well,decisions decisions

[Carlo]

buy the two a will make one out the two then ebay the rest or build 2 you have another s1 too that could be a donor also

[COZZFATHER]

i recently bought a S1, ok its nowhere near as mint as id like it, but as already mentioned the rate the prices are going up i thought id get one whilst i can,

a few of you may have rememebred me asking weather i should sell my completly standard silver K-reg FRST which is also a very rare car with only 73 being made. and put the money i made from it with the 4k i had set aside either to put the into the fiesta or as i said just sell the fiesta and use the 4k plus what ever it made and buy a very nice S1.

however i couldnt bring myself to sell my FRST, so instead i just used to 4k i had and bought a nice tidy S1. the way i see it ive got one and i can always improve it over the years. aslong as its a genuine one which it is and has a nice history, Hpi clear, full history and low owners, could do with a couple of bits of paint but which one cant apart for the 7k+ car.

i now have the best possible outcome and have all 3 cars i have always loved S1, Silver FRST, Auralis blue es,cos.

see Bazzoh thats exactly how i think,i hate it when people buy bogged up painted and welded up shite and think its great when its not,i'm like you want original as poss history low owners etc etc even if not perfect and they will always be a good investment.

i like rs turbos even though they were utter shit in rallying

Don't forget, escort cossies will soon be eligible for historic rallying, once that happens theres only one way the values are gonna go

Good find you going to restore it

[COZZFATHER]

wheres the indicators ? looks lowered too ? love a find like that because they are usually cheep.

[Elfranco]

There is only 52000miles on it so just have it sitting under a cover in the corner of the garage, will restore it some time, dont know the story with the indicators Cozzfather but the original are in the boot with the headlights, a lot of new parts with it still in boxes

well with no front indicators it could of been tricky turning with people comming at yer

i reckon its had the morretts chucked on and matey hasn't put the indicators in the front bumper yet which was a horrible look if i'm honest,they look a million times better with carello headlamps and spottys.
