Anyone drive one of these beasties ???
I've seen them go for funny money from 25 to 28k
I came across this one which has the touring car graphics, but would you pay 22k for it
I must admit I am a fan along with other ford classics, mk2 escort RS2000, Mexico etc.

Bruv in law's neighbour has a mint Cosworth up on axle stands in some atmosphere-controlled oxygen bubble thing!!! However it's not RS500 spec...he seems to think it'll be worth a fortune one day, maybe it will, but weren't these things made for DRIVING rather than looking at?!
What differentiates an RS500 from a regliar one then? Anoraks de-lurk...

more power and different rear suspension pick-up points? I think.
Mate has a sierra that was stickered as an RS500, but no one was ever sure if it was a real one or not. Still, had 460 bhp running on only four of the possible 8 injectors

Wow!!! that would defo go in my 'if I won the lottery' garage!! I'll send that link to someone; it might go well with his RS200 and 12k miles mk 2 RS 2000 (with lovely brown interior trim!)
Nice find mate, a definate classic! I had a toy XR 4x4 (asked for an XR4i but dad got it wrong
) in red and black texaco colours - well worth the money for the nostalgia alone

Looks a bit normal (barring orange stickerage) - no ventilated disks even
Think it's a real one ?? Not sure.
Certainly not a nice looking classic....

Here's another that I came across... 28k !
Wouldn't say no to one of these as a weekend car, but would it be as fun as the elise

It does have the ventilated discs but they're not grooved or cross drilled

Really nice looking early white cosworth for sale at Formula One in Newcastle last month, can't remember the asking price though.
