Thats a ridiculous amount of money. Don't get me wrong that is a special XR2, but that is still too much. My nova had 4,000 miles on the clock when I bought it about 3 years ago and it was absolutely immaculate and I paid Six hundred pounds

Its unique tho, It can never be had again. No matter how much money you have you could not replicate this car and its cult status.

u had a bargain with the nova then! 200 miles on a 1983 in that sort of condition, especially when its something like an xr2 is going to be worth a bit of money!

8k  I don't care how special it is blah blah, its still a Fiesta XR2. Hardly a Ford that should fetch a premium.

It was made in 1983, it's nearly 24 years old. It's a classic car full stop now, not just an XR2 Fiesta. In 10 years time the MK3 Fiesta's of the same cailber will no doubt be fetching the same amount of money.

The point I was making is that Marc said it was just 'an XR2'. I'm saying it's more than just an XR2, it's a classic

So what! a 24 year old Nova won't fetch the same premium, nor would any other sporty average car. If he get over 8k he deserves it.

Thats the one. They keep dust off and circulate the air around the car to keep moisture out.

Has there ever been a 24 year old Nova SR or equivalent with 200 miles on the clock being sold before? Was a Nova SR such a success/cult/what ever as an XR2?

Don't be a gay Marc, I know what your saying but to another Ford enthusiast it will be worth 8k.
I want one of those carcoons, ace.

I know but similar cars, of equal heritage wouldn't attract that much money.
