antz Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 or have prices of our beloved old skool fords rocketed in the last year? for instance when i bought my escort in may 2005 the best condition mk2 escort 4doos were worth £1000 TOPS! and i paid that for mine because of its condition.manky ones were worth absolutely nothing. now i look around and even the rooont ones are worth something and top condition 4doors are worth anything FROM £1000 up to £2000. thats a 100% increase in just over a year i know that in the last 5 years prices have gone silly for some models or OSF but even the 'bargain 4doors' seem to be rocketing in price. has anyone else noticed this fact?
Mexico Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 all you need to do is take a copy of classic ford from last year and compare it to this year and you will easily recognise that there is a lot less cars out there and that the price has risen considerable
antz Posted September 18, 2006 Author Report Posted September 18, 2006 yeh i was having a look through classic ford from last year and its amazing. plus i am always on ebay and prices have risen in al fields in the last year!

johnny_h Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 I remember 4 for a penny The local post office used to let me buy 20 John player special when i was 7 coz me mum used to send me up the road to get them. 20 pack for less than a quid. I used to imagine what i could buy with that crisp pound note.
antz Posted September 18, 2006 Author Report Posted September 18, 2006 yeh prices have rocketed! i remember when my dads cortina crayford was worth NOTHING so he swapped it for a old reliant scimitar worth just as little. then his old crayford turned up on ebay 3 months ago fully restored with an asking price of £5300!..oh he was so unhappy he sold it. glad its still around though. i rememe when a curly wurly choc bar was 10p and now they are 25p!
capriclive Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 prices are going a bit crazy for cars and parts. but there are still bargains out there to be had, its just finding them. example: my mk1 v6 cologne capri cost £200. my other mk1 owes me about £350 (taxd &motd).
antz Posted September 18, 2006 Author Report Posted September 18, 2006 its true. baragisn can be had but you have to be damn lucky to get them! i myself havent had a true BARGAIN yet unless saving myself a few quid on ebay counts
105Nick Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 Yeah, I got the anglia and was looking at the wings thinking 'oh god I'm looking at a hefty bill from expressed', my dad opened classic ford saying they shouldn't be that much, pointed out a set for $40 until I pointed out to him they were fibrglass and opened the ad to the tin ones. I thought Igot well ripped off when I bought the Mk1, but the prices have gone up even further, I'm hyoping selling the Mk1 will sort some panels for the 105E, but seems that even that will only get me some wings & front panel.
Doc Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 prices are going a bit crazy for cars and parts. but there are still bargains out there to be had, its just finding them. example: my mk1 v6 cologne capri cost £200. my other mk1 owes me about £350 (taxd &motd). Ill give you £600 for the 1600 when your done ... thats a good deal for you LOL
MK3_DC Posted September 28, 2006 Report Posted September 28, 2006 I remember when a Mars bar was 3d, also, remember black jacks and fruit salads....mmmmmmmmmm
mk1super Posted September 28, 2006 Report Posted September 28, 2006 20 fags less than a pound! If only it were still like that, 20 L+B and you get back copper money off a £5 note and forget buying em at the garage
