Rally Pack 2000 Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 Ever since that Mk1 RS2000 hit that price every man and dog thinks they can pluck a price out of thin air! I even heard it said at the show I was at last Saturday night, when asked what an Escort was worth they said im not sure now but definitely more now that an RS2000 in the UK fetched a quarter of a mill equivalent in the UK. Its insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jersey Stardust Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 It is a nice car, and has some interesting parts fitted. Just not sure what they are trying to achieve with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk1super Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 It makes me sad, the prices of these now, prohibiting real genuine enthusiasts from owning one. Not people who buy them shove them in a garage and wait for them to be worth 100k it’s prohibited genuine enthusiasts from acquiring one. I thought all these “new shells” would have taken the prices down a bit but quite the opposite it appears. occasionally you can bag a bargain but it’s usually a headache as I’ve found out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly a four wheeled version of an English electric lighting I mean it has about the same amount of gauges and switches 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
