Seen 500's at 35k...Its a collectable classic....Normal ones are alot cheaper.

 

[dem maser]

it seems a lot....40k for a sierra??

 

[Andyk]

They are a legend though Dem.....They are as collectable as an E30 M3 EVO Sport....Only the 500 though..

 

[GransportFan1]

they are collectable but i think 40k is rediculous, really dont like them, give me a escort cossie and integrale instead.

 

[dem maser]

i can see the legend in them....i do like cosworth but never thought they going for 40k....

 

[Andyk]

Yep, they are expensive...Not for me but they gave most touring cars a real fright back in the day......A brilliant car to be honest.

 

[dem maser]

dont know anything bout them andy..keen to learn...

 

[GransportFan1]

at the end of the day, a sierra is a window cleaners car.

 

[Andyk]

Adam you are missing the point..Doesn't matter if you like it or not..Its a legend of a car and a classic that is going up in value..I remember watching in in the BTCC way back and getting really annoyed when it used to beat the E30 M3...It was that good....Don't forget that the M3 was a 3 series and thats a taxi in Germany....The RS 500 has Motorsport pedigree and thats a very desirable option on a car...

 

[dem maser]

i dont like them but respect them....

 

[GransportFan1]

i dont dislike it but at the end of the day it is a sierra, it maybe collectable and have a lot of power and it dominated the BTCC with Andy Rouse at the wheel but i am sorry, i just couldn't buy one.

 

[Andyk]

I think it's not about if you want one but is it worth 40k...To a collector yes...will it go up in value....Without a doubt. I also wouldn't have one but what an icon in motorsport and on the road.

 

[dem maser]

rare....never saw one....

 

[Andyk]

When I was in a band we used to practise in a chaps barn on his farm and he had a white one in his barn....It had about 4k on the clock and was spotless...Wonder if he still has it...

 

[dem maser]

you were in a band?? playing what

 

[Andyk]

Guitar..plus done a bit of singing and song writting...

 

[dem maser]

thats what my mrs does...she writes all the time....plays guitar but her biggest skill is the piano....

 

[GransportFan1]

when did you stop playing Andy? and do you still see your former band members?

 

[Andyk]

I am also trained at a classical piano...Haven't played for years and years though....Wish I had kept going with piano as its a lovely instrument and great for song writting but as a young lad it wasn't cool and the call of the guitar got the better of me.
