Car Prices 1993

[DT36]

Been looking through a 1993 copy of Fast Ford magazine and decided to check out the Ads page for prices back then.

I was driving a Cavalier SRI in 93, living in Germany.  I was about to buy a  LHD 2.3 S Capri (German) as a second car for about £150 around the same time, but got my posting order back to the UK so left it.  Hindsight was not my strongpoint...

Excellent, my first rs2000 mk2 in Germany in 1984 cost me the equivalent of about 1200 squid!, sold it and bought the first xr3i in Germany for the princely duty free price of 4400 squid fully loaded! Happy days!

I bought my first mk2 RS2000 in '98 i think-cost me £1000 in black was a little rough but mot'd and went like stink think it was cammed up. Then in about 2000 bought my second just been restored needing a bit of finishing paid £2000-then proceeded to rip out the rolltop interior, fitted an alloy firewall buckets and full cage-oh dear how times change huh.

Yes and if you Google the numberplate, it has competed in a few rallies recently.

Cheers Vista.  Just Googled it and have to say that Crowley Motorsport have done a real life Car SOS on bringing the car back to its roots.
