ScottyP Posted 27September, 2016 Report Share Posted 27September, 2016 Not sure what I'm more shocked by, seeing a mk2 Escort for sale at Duttons, or the asking price. 1 of 25 'German' homologation cars , but not sure it's a $70k car. Only twin cams, rs1600 / 1800 typically command that sort of price. http://duttongarage.com/Ford-Escort-Mk-II-RS2000~19012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevMcRev Posted 27September, 2016 Report Share Posted 27September, 2016 Wow!Bought mine for $250! Think I sold it for $7750. Wasn't German, but had a german head on it. From memory they had bigger valves and run the twin 44 IDF webers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh Posted 27September, 2016 Report Share Posted 27September, 2016 I'm still in shock that it was listed with an actual sale price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-S Posted 27September, 2016 Report Share Posted 27September, 2016 CTS sold a white one a couple of years ago for similar money, that one was far more original than this one. To be honest, the money they're fetching in the UK these days I wouldn't be surprised if it headed there. From what I've been told by the local RS boys, not many of these first 25 still exist and they're quite sought after, most were raced and crashed. There's something about that one that doesn't 'look' right to me (apart from the wrong wheels, bonnet pins and wrong material on the back seat), I'd be interested to learn its history...

Arnage Posted 28September, 2016 Report Share Posted 28September, 2016 As a young fella I had a lovely mk1 RS2000 great car. White with blue decals. Wonder what they are worth now!I may have a hard copy pic somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyP Posted 28September, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 28September, 2016 As a young fella I had a lovely mk1 RS2000 great car. White with blue decals. Wonder what they are worth now!Mk1 AVO cars are pulling very good money now. They are quite rare here in AU however. Mk2 RS far more common, although mostly far less desirable 'more-doors'. I seem to recall this LHD RS1600 was on the market last year for six figures (I think around AUD$120,000 from my albeit shitty memory). Not sure what it ended up trading for, or for that matter if it was withdrawn. Damn nice car tho. http://www.robroyhistoricgarage.com.au/escrt.html My own Mk1 from many moons ago. Another I regret letting go. Before I get flamed for the colour, it's Ford factory 'Wild Plum' ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond911 Posted 28September, 2016 Report Share Posted 28September, 2016 The one ScottyP mentions above was probably the $118K Shannon's example:https://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/2016-shannons-melbourne-winter-classic-auction/Q7FEB2LOBUBPC885/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnage Posted 28September, 2016 Report Share Posted 28September, 2016 I remember that on Carsales, think it was about $90k. Very scarce car.That was my dream car back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
