If i was rich, a mint big spec escort cosworth and a sierra RS500 would probably be the 1st two cars id purchase.

I didn't say it's worth £500. I just think they are vastly over priced, I can slightly understand a 3 door commanding a premium maybe, but not the Escort. Everyone has different opinions, but I could personally list about 100 cars for 20k I would rather own.
It's all down to supply and demand Nik.
Uniquness plus rarety plus motorsport credentials plus hefty initial price plus lot of people wanting one lead to very high residuals.
A mint one owner RS 500 can now command more than it cost new for example.
I dearly wish they'd built more of all of the good Fords and for longer, then they'd be worth a lot less and be easier to obtain.

Oh and i'd never use one as a daily driver.
That'd be like using a Faberge egg as a lunch box.

Eventually I will have the money to buy one and will do so.
Probably after I buy an RS2000 and an RS500 but before I buy an RS200.
