It is a lways interesting to try to figure out what our precious cars are worth. At the moment the car market is very flat with most dealers selling cars at half the rate that they normally expect. So a good time to buy but probably not good to sell.
As regards a good quality RS2 I think everyone has been surprised at the rapid price increase in the past few years. There have been several on the market over the past few months offered at around the £40k mark. But most of these have not sold - and the market price is only what someone is actually willing to pay. That said I am sure that many Forum members saw a beautiful pearl blue RS2 offered by Bramley Motors at a touch under £80k. It was very low mileage and had been completely refurbished. The car was sold to Bramley's managing director around 3 years ago by a dealer in Ripley for less than £7000. He used it himself for a couple of years then had it brought back to concourse quality. This car has recenly been sold and it was bought for around £76,000, so clearly there is a growing market for the best examples.
On that basis £60k is probably not too bad...!!Cheers

I was browsing some old posts on Classic Cars for sale and I came across the same car that was posted for sale on 22 Nov 2014 for an amazing £109,500 !! Based on the recent increase in values it might not be too much longer before a good quality RS2 attains this value. The RS2 model is not available in USA but has cult status. Models built in 1994 can be shipped to the States after 25 years without having to comply retrospectively with USA requirements. Hence in 2019 a new market will become available...watch this spaceCheers

(There is one RS2 already in the US (LHD OA9 Paint) imported years ago under special import regulations.)
