Stunning car ! Stunning princess R.I.P🇬🇧

[@driva9457]

Definitely one of the best in the world RIP Diana ❤️

[@miamitten1123]

So random for Princes Diana to drive an RS. Then again, she had 3 Ford Escorts in her time. Makes a change from Ranger Rovers or Royces.

[@nicholasdavies6264]

What an absolute beauty...... both of them! 👍

[@StimulationSimulated]

i am drooling

[@simonreed690]

Seats look in good nick, even the back one..😉

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

Thank God she's staying in the UK... That bidder in Dubai wanted it. But £660k! I thought it'd get half that

[@enigmatwist6548]

I heard it’s going on display at the Lake Side museum in the Lake District. So everyone can go see.

[@antn8387]

such a rare gem

[@NickForest999]

Inc buyer fees and VAT this has just sold for a shade under £800k 😮

[@nickwiddicombe1701]

That is absolutely mint . What a car .... and it was Diana's. Wow. That's insane. This is gonna go through the roof. I'm sure it'll find a good home with a collector. Would you drive it ? Or store it

[@miamitten1123]

I'd store it or put it in a glass case for all the public to see.

[@jasonforrester6522]

This is going to set the Auction phones and floor on fire. Big money !!!

[@Jase73]

It’s lush.!! And absolutely a one off and it’s going to make a fortune. But I still think they look better white. I’d never paint mine black 😱

[@Simonstockton82]

I have to agree with that, there is something iconic about the white S1 RST

[@sunglassesron9464]

Very nice! You would struggle to find a better example...

[@KeiranDavie]

0:56 William & Harry sat there !

[@jeffreynolds3848]

1:04 Diana sat there !

[@JONACAN]

Up to 100k you reckon in auction? I would love to own that.

[@jc5146]

It won't for a bit more than that!

[@Jay-dg6th]

That’s gonna fetch some SERIOUS money 💴 💴💴 !!!!!!!

[@jimsgarage3311]

what u reckon 120k?

[@Jay-dg6th]

@@jimsgarage3311 the most I’ve seen a white one go for is £60k 5,000 miles dry stored so I reckon this’ll do £80-100k maybe more caus if the Diana link you might be right 120k

[@bannjaxx]

@@Jay-dg6th I think they were all white, except this one they made especially in black for Di.

[@Jay-dg6th]

@@jimsgarage3311 £730,000 !!!!!!!!! I know I said serious money but WOW we were all way off the mark, no one expected it to hit almost 3/4 of a million pounds !!! Wow 😮

[@888ssss]

somebody bought this on ebay in 2007 for 14,550 and just sold it for 670,000

[@kevinholtom1966]

650k not a bad return £££££

[@jimsgarage3311]

did it fetch

[@wifidaybreak]

I'm the new owner now.

[@eddiek821]

So I'm reading it's just sold for £725k brilliant amount of money 😁.

[@jimmoore8943]

Do mi6 buy salvage

[@fatwalletboy2]

Sold for £650k to some energy supplier CEO probably

[@emmasumner4097]

Why didn't it have the turbo grill fitted?

[@probablygraham]

I had one - in fact it was the only brand new car I ever bought. You're right - that isn't a turbo grill.

[@kevinrobertfrasier1309]

I saw that black RS Turbo for sale many years ago at an RS retailer in Kent just off the A2. I was looking for an RS myself but i wasn't keen on the price of £9750.00 back then. I ended up with a Series 2 but later found out the black series 1 was indeed Pricess Diana's RS. What is is it worth today i wonder?

[@jimsgarage3311]

a small fortune that

[@aragorn680]

Her silver escort ghia did 52k

[@dannytucker9474]

650k it sold for

[@ashg7014]

I think that prince william or harry should buy the car back as a good memory of there mother, I know I would if I was in there shoes!

[@GinoFoto]

A piece of history for the Brits, for us others just an ordinary old-timer that was taken care of.

[@pimpampum1794]

Precioso

[@stevefox3763]

Sadly this won't go to a ford enthusiast, it will fetch sky high money because it was Diana's motor and go to someone who couldn't care less that's its an RS Turbo

[@enigmatwist6548]

I heard it’s going to the Lake Side collection in the Lake District so every Ford enthusiast can go see.

[@markjones338]

Wouldn’t be surprised if it went for £250k

[@tomossaunders8597]

Add 400k onto that

[@markjones338]

@@tomossaunders8597 wow

[@jasonbourne7499]

How much ?

[@mrp5494]

Estimate 300k

[@jasonbourne7499]

@@mrp5494 I was thinking 100k

[@FezzFezz-wd3ww]

it's an rs turbo not an rs 500, I'd say in the region of £40k at best

[@jimsgarage3311]

i guessing 120k but defo reckom more
