Pic of the day

[Guy]

Not every day one sees a 35 year old car with 4k miles on it!

I spoke to the owner and he is planning to sell this year. I suspect the price at this mileage will be pretty steep and then needs to be used very sparingly to avoid huge depreciation. He also has a 4200 cabrio he bought in 2008 in his collection.

I reckon 100k plus if condition is commensurate to the mileage

Twice that at least. A normal mileage one would be £140k

think you could be right, nice turbos with far higher mileage have been at 60/70k, am i right in saying the rag top is a turbo as well

Looks like it, they were apparently really evil and no one bought them so rare too.

I bought one after a 993 and it was very much a case of 'don't meet your heroes'! Better on an Athena poster based on my experience. Nice to pose in but very tricky to drive (engine pushed further rearward compared to NA cars, v1.0 turbo lag, 4 long gears, not really that fast and liked a drink....

Probably why it has only done 4k miles. Driver hated it or too scared.

Trying to value this RS2000 for a friend as Classic Ford's going for crazy money.

Different times!

(nicked from a local historical chat - apparently taken in Romford, 60’s)

We mostly survived, maybe a little lead poisoning.

Love the Khamsin, but those asymmetrical vents have always been irritating.

Must be the Citroen influence..

Drove a 4 speed 3.0 litre one back in the early 80's in Switzerland and I'm still alive.

glad to hear it, reminds me of the saint gotthard pass, great memories driving through from moons ago, how did you find it, is it a hard car to tame in certain conditions
