I know its nostalgic and it looks great but for £53K you could have a very nice Nissan GTR R35 and still have £15k left over  :happy2:

 :confused: :stupid:

Showing your age greeners  :P, these were before my time  :grin:, hence I have no affinity for them  :booty:

Irrespective of my age or yours, comparing the two is like comparing cheese and monkeys!!  :laugh:

This was listed a fortnight ago for a mere 45 grand. What I don't get is if it failed to sell at £45K why add another 8 thou onto the price? :confused:

A mere 45k, oh why didn't I see it then!!!!!! Don't get me wrong if I won the Euro Zillions I would buy it in a heartbeat but 45/53 does seem steep to me, rarity/desirability I suppose.

Give it a few days and they'll drop the price again. It was 50K before it was 45...

I hate to say it, but where I grew up in the sticks - we used to buy MKI/IIs for a couple of hundred out of the Loot and basically destroy them as pseudo-rally cars on the fields.

If only we knew then what we know now!!
Sideways yo!

We did the same but on the army ranges and across the stang which is a old rally track,the mk1 and mk2 escorts we destroyed would be worth a fortune

We used to to do the same with Fiesta XR2's (MKI and MKII's), used to buy them as stolen recovered or burnt out and make 2 of them to race around an 8 Acre field my mates Grandad gave him to play with  :signLOL:
