    What a stunning example,always admired this car when it popped up on the forum,fair play to the owner for believing in his cars real value too.Considering the mods, and the clear attention 'OE mintness' with so many recent parts, you can tell its a cherished RS. GLWTS.

        why do you have a LHD RS2?
        Because that's the way nature intended it to be!
        Climate control, better engine bay lay out.

        I would have all my cars LHD if I could. feels far more natural.


        As for the full repaint with a low milage car. It will be because the factory finish is dreadful.

          Fraser car is a stunning example, I know for a fact he's put a hell of a lot of time and money into it after speaking to him at the forum meets. Its an amazing looking car but the market for theses is limited and that's not a benefit all the time as said manta time it worth what someone will pay. If they were a more known car like the E30 M3 and the Lancia it would be worth that kind of money but they are not and thats a shame.
          Just some finishing touches to do now

              On that basis, Jamo, yours must be worth £40k
              And other nice modded cars also, Sonics, Ross, Newsh's, Gregs, Mark H, Dougals...

              Happy driving
              I don't think i could let mine go for <£60k if i added up what i've spent on it

              I think its good that some of these well maintained and looked after examples are going for decent money. It can only help resale values for everyone, and hopefully mean that not so many are written off for minor accidents.

                My 2 pence:

                That RS2 it's in good conditions ok.

                About the mods and getting at least a part of the money he spent back...
                Here in Italy (but I'm sure it's the same in Germany when he comes down to collectors rather then pistonheads)he will be penalized rather then having more money.
                If someone is after a collectable car here, they want the car to be original at maximun possible level and that engine bay does'nt look original at all not mentioning the wheels...
                I reckon the best money you can get it's for an original (not even chipped) car.

                It's sad to say but if this guy want to make the money he wants (or even more)best way it's to break the car and sell the parts on german ebay, one of our Club members from Switzerland had an hard tuned (400/430hp) RS2, by selling it in bits he made 20 something grands (euros) in 2009.

                    So an RS2 is worse than a S2 when it comes to paint finish??? My S2 Was Brilliant!!

                        Gotta agree my car has a few blemishes but the paintwork still looks amazing after 18 years! But anyway at 150k, the mileage on the rs2 in question isn't especially low...

                          Because Fraser wanted the finish to be as good as possible? He's not spared any expense on it as far as I can tell. Why not if you can afford it?

                                It's not 7k extra special if people want to pay the price then so be it but in the current uk car market I highly doubt it
