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!😲😳

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.

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.
