£265,000 FORD SIERRA RS500 COSWORTH

[@paullinfoot6017]

I'm not shocked at some of the replies , yes its a ford Sierra , yes its a lot of money , but they fetch what they do . I don't understand the values of paintings or even other cars but they are what they are and i don't throw personal insults at people because they see a value in an item that i don't . If you don't understand the value of these cars then that's ok , but to start being rude and personal just makes you look the kind of person who some will chose to ignore . If you have nothing nice to say then try saying nothing . you can have an opinion and express it in an adult and polite way so why make yourself look stupid with negative replies to someone who you don't even know These cars always sell for these high prices and when they do all the ones who reply with the stupid comments always go very quiet . as will happen when this car sells Thank you to all those who have polite replies , Adam goes out of his way to bring these videos to you all and i appreciate him coming down to see me . Keep up the great work Adam , and thanks to all his nice followers

[@darrenrussell4325]

I can't agree with you more Paul! I don't know why they're worth so much, but the fact is that they are are, so you can't come on here and start being an idiot with childish comments. At the end of the day you are an expert on these cars Paul, and you've probably forgotten more than these stupid people even know. I agree Adam goes out of his way to make these videos, and in my opinion he does a great job! It people have a problem they don't have to watch. I would love to buy that car I just don't have anywhere to keep it 😢

[@ascNo.1]

well said Paul 👍

[@subwax]

In fairness - a car like that for this price is always going to be contentious, right? You are spot on about personal digs - there is no need for that - but we have a right to express surprise at the price.

[@darrenrussell4325]

@@subwax oh yeah totally, I just don't understand why people leave shity comments.

[@TheBarnz91]

It fetches that much money because it is a mint example of a bygone era! Mint ones of these are rarer than most supercars of today! It’s not about the performance but more about what the car is and what it stands for! For the people that can afford this car, it isn’t about the price! It’s only about having it to look at! This car is a beast in any collection!

[@TheBarnz91]

I’m like that with pies! I can tell you a shit pie from a great one just by looking at the exterior! The crust never lies!

[@johnnymossville]

The car model has a legendary racing pedigree and history, built up by the legendary cosworth, is extremely rare, is beautiful, and is worth every penny. I am not a collector and would prefer to buy a driver, but that car is about as good as it gets for RS500's. Kudos to whoever purchases it.

[@MP-po6fj]

Well said a high volume Ford UK dealer should put this in their showroom floor. 750 mile from new. Powerful that.

[@rustysphotography]

It really is a beautiful example and the RS500 has been the car i have loved from the second i seen the first one walking to primary school . I remember the disappointment trying to find the same car as a toy in Woolworths , found the car the colour but couldn't find that spoiler and had to settle for the Xr4i . I had already fallen in love without having a clue what the experience in one was like . Hooked for life !!! . It is a shame that nobody will ever get that full experience again from the time when you could drive a Cosworth in the way that made the Cosworth the legend it is . I am so glad that the 20 or so years of Cosworths prime was the perfect timing for me to have many different Cosworths and be part of the best era to love cars . Pushing the limits of engine modifications and experiencing big boosts on green or grey injectors if memory serves me right . brought many £2000 Cosworths years ago and even had a Moonstone RS500 #494 . Was cover car on Fast Ford last year . But i know it was way more fun driving it 20yrs ago than I could have if i still had it now . Just glad I was there :)

[@isolationstation5157]

I’m a motorcycle man and a great believer in using classics out on the road so everyone gets to enjoy seeing them rather than hiding them away in collections. But when it comes to time warp examples like this I think they should be preserved.

[@Matt_Hunt]

Great video. Thanks to you Adam, and Paul.

[@Jamescarr14]

Awesome. Always been my all time favourite car! If I had the cash I'd be picking it up tomorrow. Good luck with the sale

[@TheVeiledSecret]

I had a very dear freind called Gary Hooper who had a wonderful collection of RS500 cosworths around 9 of them if a recall I was very lucky to be able to see them as well as actually have a little drive in his moonstone blue RS500 which the registration was GAF ??? if im.right. Anyway he took me to see a fella called Duncan pursell of Automotive Unlimited who sold the most immaculate cosworths and im going back now must be 20yrs or more?? Anyway he had a Black RS500 54.000 miles up for £18.500 yes £18.500 and Gary told me to buy it saying in years to come these are gonna be worth a fortune has Gary was also buying up RS500 spares etc. Cut a long story short i didn't buy it as the insurance was £1000,s but Garys words have come true. Still at least i got to drive his RS500 and spend many times with him at many a car show and at his factory where he stored his RS500,s Sadly Gary and his lovely wife Pam have both passed away and hes probably looking down now saying to me .. Told ya so you idiot you wouldnt listen you should of bought it 🤣 Yep you right i should of .. Miss ya mate RIP 💕

[@cg7975]

Duncan Purcell only sold the best - he knew his way round every Cosworth. A modest and honest individual. I bought a late 4x4 sapphire of him in 96 - perfect gentleman and I hope all is well with him now.

[@TheVeiledSecret]

I remember when I was there he had the ebony black Sappbire Cosworth L20 COS it was up for.£11.500 which at the time was serious money when most saffys where trading atound the £5K to £6kmark. I heard later that the car was written off in an accident (if.thats true such a shame)

As I 13 year old back in 1990, sat mornings I polished the showrooms car’s at a place called ( Baldock Specialist Cars ) near the traffic lights in Baldock ( block of flats now) there was a moonstone blue and a black one side by side both priced at £19,995 each. I can’t tell you if they were RS 500s or normal Cosworth’s, but I can still see them sat there in my minds eye,and the smell of the auto glym polish ( white for body, and green for the glass)

[@RWDcosworthRSTurboEscort]

Love seeing how well kept some of these cars are, that’s an absolute beaut, the high price argument, in my opinion if they fetch that sort of money so be it, it makes them undrivable so preserves their heritage, which is nice on such a rare item 👍🏻

Would you really buy a 40 year old Sierra when there are so many better modern cars that make the RS500 look positively slow? I love the Cossies, and enjoy watching Adam do his ones up, but I would never buy one now - so many better cars out there for that price, IMHO.

[@alangreenwood870]

A mate of mine bought a black RS500 in December 2022, just under 14k miles, paid £124,500. Was thinking of selling, so sent it down to iconic last month but changed his mind and decided to keep it. Moonstone was always my favourite colour.

1 owner on the logbook but it’s been owned by more than that. The moonstone car was part of the “rs bonkers” collection so has definitely been owned by more than 1 person as I remember him buying it and selling it

Ridiculous price for a 40 odd year old Sierra, but good luck to him. I know its not nice to deal with negative remarks, but you have to admit that you have had to be expecting them - its par for a course when you're trying to sell a Sierra for a quarter of a million pounds, nice as though it is.
