You may find the odd example that has gone for more because someone really wants one, but on the whole they aren't worth much, rare or not.


I agree that most 20 year old Corsa's are £300 cars but the early SRi's, GSI's and Sports and becoming desirable for the same reason I bought mine, people want to relive there younger days and want something that isn't a daily to play with.

Similar to the same reason why 1980's RS Turbo's are doing 5k, they where being passed around for £250 when I was 18 in 2001 and they are just old rusty Ford's that are slow and boring in standard form - people want them though.

As I said earlier in the thread, Vauxhall's don't do great money but there is a following that will pay for the older ones.

More than that it would seem Ian! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escort-RS-Turbo-Series-1-/151630890037?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item234de7c435

Mind you, i've never seen one for 250 quid. Don't think i've ever seen one go for less than about two and a half grand.

that is completely different.

Its a generally highly desired, cult classic. A 1.4 20 year old corsa is not highly desired nor is it generally considered a classic in the same way a 1.4 20 year old Clio isnt

Don't get me wrong, I still have a soft spot for the Corsa B but I disagree completely with both statements.

When you put it next to a new Vauxhall like an Adam obviously it looks like an old car compared however stood on its own it doesn't stand out to me as an old car.

Although I am thinking more about ones that have been modified got the German rears etc

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, rose tinted glasses and all the rest of them.

If I still had a Corsa B I would be saying the very same so I'll not comment any further

So was I Ian

I just stuck that Zanussi one on as it was frankly ludicrous money.

This old ringer here is starting at only a fiver less than I paid for mine fifteen years ago!

I wouldn't mind, but it's not even original and mint. It's just okay.

That'll be on there again in a few weeks for six grand or less I reckon.
