Ford Escort RS1600i.

It's registered in Italy and selling at auction, therefore it's being sold world wide.
Here's another couple of pictures for your delectation;

Stunning. I remember drooling over cars like this in car mags (Fast Lane?) in the 80s.

My dad got a mk2 GTI in 1986 that I got to drive. What a car that was.

 

[Rooter]

Would it not be better to sell that in Europe?
Paint looks mis-matched but maybe that's just the picture.

They were all LHD. A few did get converted at the time by Hartge i think, and then probably a few done in 'daves shed', If i wanted an E30 M3, it would have to be a left hooker.

Ooooh, another E30 M3!
This one's an M3 Sport Evolution, one of just 600 built.
It's a 1990 model with 89,000 miles on it and produces 238bhp.
This could be big bucks!

Nice to see one in the proper colour!

Bangers and Cash is worth watching for some of the classics - though maybe not for high-performance ones.

This one didn't sell, it failed to reach the reserve.
When I last looked, it was up at £116,000.

Wow! Wonder what they were after?

In that condition, given the rarity (and the sudden fascination in the E30), I'd expect they would be looking somewhere around £150k.

There was an E30 Evolution that sold in the states for a smidge under $300k.

 

[Slime]

£150k would have been my guess.

Oh my word, look at this absolute beauty, a pristine 1964 DB5 with 43,000 indicated miles and powered by a 4.0ltr straight six.
This'll fetch mighty big bucks.

 

[KenL]

What a beauty. I wish I could bid
£1 500 000.
That's my guess if it is original with plenty paperwork.

Easily the best looking car on the entire thread.

And of more relevance to this forum, is that last picture taken at a golf club? Which one?

 

[Slime]

I've no idea which course, but the car is owned and kept in London.
My word, the British did make some beautiful cars.
The auction is now over .......................... and it failed to reach the reserve price, whatever that was.
A couple of hours ago it was stuck at £650,000.

This could be interesting for those who like a fast Ford, they really are very popular right now.
It's a 1986 LHD RS Turbo with 37,000 miles on it and is all original.

 

[KenL]

Very nice, pity about the LHD.

My boss had one of these back in the day, he let me use it a couple of times, remember taking it down the M4 to visit a customer. This was mid 80's, I was a lot younger and stupid... I remember having a little "tête-à-tête" with a Lotus S3 on the way back. The RS had a really strong argument and the Lotus driver lost his wind. Had a bit of a revelation that day, scared myself a bit too much, I've never had an argument like that since....

A mint black Sierra RS500 Cosworth sold for a little under £600k at Silverstone auctions.
