The suggestion of any “normal” car being an investment is crazy, even those that have increased in value rarely put money in the owners pocket when they consider all ownership costs and inflation. Then there’s cars that have hardly been used, are they really a car, I don’t think so. My RS has gone up in value, but it still owes me money!

I've just put a Cosworth sticker on my 2006 mk2 Ford Focus 2.0 Ghia estate and put it up sale at £160,000 🙄 I can remember when you could pick a well used cossie up for very little money. Years ago I turned down a tatty xr3i for £500, you could pick up.a tidy one for between £800 and £1k. I also remember mk1 escorts going for £50 -£100 when nobody wanted them!😲😳

It's mental I can also remember when you could pick up a bit ropey one for about 2.5/3k but couldn't afford insurance. Now I can afford the insurance but not the car.

Spot on Adam, I love all these cossie too but the prices are ridiculous. I really want one but now Personally thinking id rather a more modern weapon that is more comfortable quicker and not worried everytime I drive it as their almost irreplaceable. World's give mad!

It’s a shame you and Paul aren’t neighbours! With your presence in front of a camera, and his skills, and reputation with cars,If you joined forces you’d earn millions from social media! ❤

Maybe a Fiesta RS Turbo could be a nice addition to your garage. Or maybe a Cavalier Turbo 4x4

Was a great day when I could afford to buy an Escort Cosworth. Prices of cars in general have gone silly, I remember when I first saw the Maserati MC20 and heard it was a V6 I thought "I might be able to get one of those". Turns out it costs almost twice what I assumed it would have.

The amount of cars you can for for 70/100k is wild, to me an Escort Cosworth is and will always be in the 15/25k region, sold my black 3 door Cosworth in roughly 2007 for 9k which still hurts. D140 VSW

Jewel violet an mallard green in my opinion are the best vozzie colours for escorts

My dad has one locked away in a shed in Ireland, hasnt seen the light of day in at least 25 years, dry stored and of the ground with no rust

The prices are a nightmare now. Only just able to afford to keep my 4x4 Sapphire Cosworth. I bought it in June 2007 with 57k on the clock and a RS500 touring car spec engine for £6000

Was a nice 3 door import MK2 sierra with a Cossie kit on for £6995 , would of made a brill project

The white Silverstone Auctions car comes with a brand new still boxed set of standard wheels, says that in the description

Many moons ago there was a moonstone blue cosworth 5 miles from me……. Reg plate on it was spelt to say misery…….. loved seeing it and then vanished to be replaced with a modern car with the plate

Have a look at the late break show on youtube adam , i watched that 703 mile cosworth unboxed , its never been used , was stored away in a basement after it was built , its only just been shipped back a couple weeks ago ,, the guy had this built then decided to drive the evo rally cars

Love these cars me Adam.. I’ve got a nice 2.8 turbo Capri it’s a beast !!! But still love the cosworths 🤔plus to be honest there well over priced 🫣any Ford nowadays is to expensive for what it is… shame really it prices most people out of the ownership of them 😐.. but great video and it’s nice that your honest about cosworths and your own cars. Keep up the excellent content Adam I’ll keep tuning in 😉

Values have softened a bit of late but wait until the Spring the values of old RS's only ever go North

Massive fan of all ford RS's 😎👍🏽

Mate I love your videos ❤. The last mint XR3I MK2 with warped disks cost me £250 😂. My last 3 dr cossie cost me 3k ( I blew it up ) my last sapphire was 1700 quid and I sold it for 2k. God bless the 90s 😂😂😂. I could have retired if I had kept all my cars

YES ITS A ICONIC VEHICLE BUT THOSE PRICES NOT A CHANCE SORRY

Brilliant done lovley cosies there mate can’t believe prices they going for I know they classics now and you are getting a lot for your money 👍🏽👍🏽

I think the prices are close to peaking tbh, the nostalgia is what’s pushing them up with the people who were teens during the 90’s who are now in there 40’s

hi adam the £160k cossie is original the video for it is on the late brake show on you tube its all genuine and its not restored its just been recommissioned have a watch of the video its brilliant hope your well mate your cars a looking well

Crazy to think that a RS500 sold for nearly £600 thousand at Silverstone auctions recently 😮

You must be pretty happy at the same time my friend.

Who ever thought a 30 year old saph cossie for 22k would be described as bargain basement😂😂 the worlds started licking windows.

Some of them Cosworths have been on Ebay for over 10 years lol

Thanks for sharing thoughts on Fords for sale , interesting💪🏽🇬🇧👍🏽

Remembering when you could get escort Cosworth so for 12-14k, and a monte for 20-25 😭 Always said I’d treat myself to one of those if I didn’t win the lottery and a 911 if I did. Crazy that it’s now the other way around.

How’s things Adam? I won’t lie I don’t ever comment on videos or even subscribe. But I do enjoy your videos and I feel like I know u “like” 🤣 Keep the videos coming mate. I won’t lie though. You interviewing another geordie does make me laugh. All I understand is i,i,i every two seconds lol. But no I do love your videos. Everyone wants/needs a pal like you 🤣 your spot on buddy 👊🏼

Looks like they are all on the up price wise, the green rocker cover by the way i believe was fitted to the ones produced with catalytic converters from factory, hows that engine coming on too🤔 another good vid 👍

Surely any race cars value is in its pedigree, I can't see any significant value in a Rally car that never raced?

All the cars I love now are way out of price range I'm prepared to pay , probably main reason I've moved on to bikes, cheaper, good giggle and take up little room in garage . Not as fun in rain though

It are crazy times. You get what the dude with the most money want to spent. Same with dive watches, I collect Citizen's and some models (new price in 1990 about 250 € are fetching now over 3000 €, for a 30+ year old watch !!!)

Great video again Adam, Out of interest what did you pay for your Safire from Scotland. I’m restoring a mk2 golf gti 16v at the moment so in joy your content for motivation👍👍

I had one bought for 30 k sold for 34 maybe 4 to 5 years ago wish I kept it

Same with motocross bikes I sold my fully restored CR250 ‘03 model for £1850 about 5 years back now it would fetch 4k 😢

When there’s no interior photos on a listing, it’s usually because interior is in poor condition.

Nice rouse sapphire up by you at W B 👌

I think if you have x2 cosworths and wanted another car in the collection money would be be best spent on a 997 turbo for 60 k. Variety is the spice of life - or sell your sapphire and buy a escort cosy. Only buy cars you have space to store if a classic.

Sold my 2WD Magenta Sapphire for 4k in 2003, still on a SORN last time I checked. Sold my Escort Cosworth Lux in 2007 for 12k. Gutted !!

There’s an escort Cosworth motorsport with 700 miles coming up at Silverstone auction soon. Get your pennies out Adam.

Hi Adam, would be good if you could pick up a Subaru impreza P1. They are around £55,000 for a nice one. Be good if you could get one that needed work would make excellent viewing 😊😊😊

The price of ALL nice things has gone crazy now. Watches, guitars, cars, bikes, models etc etc. Can't have anything nice now.😢

Mental money for any Old Ford not just cossies (and the rs tax) I love them but there pricing folk out the market the bubble has to burst. Better looking at old Vauxhalls now and I never thought I would say that 😂

I wonder how much i could sale my escort cosworth with almost all mods what that car could have and since rebuild it has zero kilometers. Sequential 6speed, all quaife diff, forged engine, 10studs etc, etc...repainted and rust free now after rebuild. 5000 photos of restauration, has all bills for all parts.

Hi Adam, you definitely need a escort cosworth fod your collection. Make great videos as well 😊😊😊

Adam you should get it touch with my maye Jurgen at jm import he's got a ford rs2000 on his racks , I can sort a meet out for yous to do a video?

Have you seen the Andy Rouse cosworth for sale in auction. I believe it’s an auction near you

must be crazy to pay that much for an Old Ford Siera, they were good value when they cost just a few grand.

A 3dr cossie in moonstone blue has been my dream car for the last 30 years I couldent afford one when they were 12k and sapphires were 6k I've had xr4i xr2i ect but never a cozzie No chance of me ever owning one now tbh even if I had the money I don't think they are worth what people are asking now it's stupid Theres plenty of better classic cars for the same money It's still a sierra or an escort at the end of the day with a body kit and a better engine

I must day Adam there's not many escort cosworths on there they are a special looking car & some nice colours

Too dear now unfortunately. They just aren’t worth buying.

The £32k sierra with the comp motives is a lad I know. He's got an escort cosworth aswell but says he will never sell the escort.

It’s sad times ,prices are just silly money, bet the last 10 cosworths sold 7-8 of them will never see the road apart from m.o.t day ,bought as investments..

totally agree - cossies need a few mods on them.

Every car should be driven they can always be fixed

Because cosworth is best engines known to man in my opinion #90s

The used car seen is crazy

Values will come down

That Mallard green one at PLR is nice , fancy Paul is gonna keep that if it doesn’t sell soon 😂

£13.5k for a rep is nuts considering genuine ones were under £10k before. Suppose thats just what happens with any old cars, more and more written off and scrapped means remaining ones just shoot up.

Snatch you regular I own a 1996 escort cosworth with 4265 miles on from new I’ve owned it from 1997 all origonal still on origonal tyre in auralis blue

If this was a Saint or McRae WRC car then yes I see the value and history or a car like that. True heritage and nostalgia. You could buy a concourse car for this and still have 80k change. This cars worth no more than 40k and that’s overpriced. Anyone who pays 160k for this seriously needs to give there head a wobble!

I’d love to see you get a escort cosworth like 👍🏻

Find it hard to price my subaru ... What value you reckon your 3 door is at ?

That white 4wd saph, but with ambers 🤔

How much is yours worth then its mint like them on e bay 🤔 50-60k get it sold

Paul has a beautiful mallard green escort cosworth for about £60k

how do i get my sapphire cosworth valued

Sierra’s and escort cosworth’s deserve to be in a Category of their own, price it as you please.. that’s fair enough. But a car that winds me up the most with their prices are series 2 RS Turbos. £12k for one that needs a full restoration. They’re chancers, because someone’s minter went for £20,000, they all think theirs is worth it too. Used to be my favourite car of all time, now I hate them purely because of the made up market. They aren’t even rare.

Used ford prices are bonkers unfortunately, if your looking to buy however the car is worth as much as you are willing to pay, for the likes of us we would pay it 😂 also lucky for us we already have a classic ford before prices rocket so in theory it’s a good investment.👍

£160k no way, £50k max for Group N. Group A with pedigree £150k to £250k if someone decent drove it

Adam just buy that Escort Paul linfoot has got for sale currently, don’t think you will find a better colour/spec/condition one for the asking price

My friend almost bought an RS200 BITD for around 40k he's still kicking himself for not buying it 😂

They’re (Escorts) not selling though! Generally… The Escorts are hanging around.

"Coney" suspension.😂 If the seller doesn't even know the company name is spelt Koni then that's a red flag right there.

My dad has a bmw e31 850i and he paid 6500 euro for it back in 2007 😂

I really fancy your sapphire cossy 😂 you need to sell me her 😊

I can see you selling one of yours soon 💷 💷

The prices for good Porsches are going up rapidly. I bought my 83sc with complete black interior and rustfree for 30k euro 4years ago. If i would sell it now i would see 40-45k euro. But keeping it and if it go up a little more i’m going to try and swap it for a moonstone blue sierra 3dr cosworth. Would be nice to have one next to the escos.

There was a time you couldnt GIVE old fords away.

That Escort 909 thing looks dodgy af.

To be fair that 600k cosworth was like new super low miles

Adam you sound like a bloke that doesn’t like leather seats😂

Gud vid

Time to sell and not buy I reckon. Have you ever been tempted to sell yours mate?..

Its so sad that Cosworths are now priced WELL outside their initial sales markets price range. They USED to be true Working Class supercars/heros, today they are increasingly a rich c£$ts ornament. They dont buy Cosworths to enjoy, to drive or to race, instead just to own, to be part of their collection. Either that or some scumbag speculator/scalper tucking away a car they have zero interest or respect of in the hope that prices rise. So increasing numbers of beloved Sierra and Escort Cosworths will no longer see the light of day, instead sitting untouched, unused in air conditioned warehouses.

They were good but not worth the values of today.

I love cosworth’s but they aren’t worth the money people are asking for them these days. People seeing that RS500 selling for the amount it did then thinking theirs is worth the earth 😂 that car had 5,000 miles. I honestly think the prices of fast fords will crash soon. People simply don’t have that sort of spare cash in this climate

Cossies are lovely but they are simply not worth these prices

I own x2 rare cars escort rs series 1 & Renault 5 raider its supply and demand in the classic car performance world look at evo,s now shot up ££££ it will only get worse look at E type jags

You've got to let the bubble burst over the next few years, people offloading their hobbies to keep their homes etc due to the interest rate changes, 2024 is the year for bargains i suspect

Overpriced or peaking in price. As their fans like me age and die the price will fall. Most kids today don't know or want a cosworth.

I wonder if we’ll see this in future with the mk1 and mk2s RS been near 100k

I got a Escort Cosworth for £66 Adam

Cheap... cheerful....£45k 😄

BONKERS MENTAL They weren't even that good lol

Just buy a Ford escort rs2000 and put a wing off a proper one 😂 and it won't matter much if you cut it up and put a different engine in it :)

It's your fault for putting great content on your cars 😅
