They're as rare as hens teeth now, But E12 M5's should fit your price range for a decent enough oneOriginally Posted by arry
Funk! Didn't realise the older M5's were coming down that far now. That's a serious contender for me
Ropey/in need of work ones are going for a couple of grand literaly (And I'll still kicking myself for not buying one - recon it would have cost as much to
tidy up as my 180 has)
There're under 100 left and the black ones are evil as
I'd go for the iconic Ur-Quattro
Older brother has had 2 of them, both were panther black
they sound gorgeous, quick for a heavy car & prices will probably rise in the near future.
Look at Mk1 & MK2 escorts, prices have gone up big time which has alot (not all) to do with historic rallying becoming more and more popular the last few years
The more people rally them then less are available and the few that remain will go up in price
Good Mk2 RS2000's were available for £2.5k in 2000-2001 now you can't get a good one for less than £4-5k
£5500 to wet your appetite

I think the UR Quattro already is a classic. I saw a mint example go for £22K a couple of years ago.I'd go for the iconic Ur-Quattro

22k
Yup, it was one of the sport ones with only 20K miles on it. It had pride of place in the Audi showroom.22k
Following on from my thread and this one how about one of these http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/344427.htm
i wish i had the money now, that would be so
and 1 of only 5 every made
How about an E28?They're as rare as hens teeth now, But E12 M5's should fit your price range for a decent enough one

Looks like a Viva to me. Not bad though but the Mk 1 Manta is much prettier IMHO.Following on from my thread and this one how about one of these http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/344427.htm

The E28 M535i's are cheap tooDon't know what a good M5 goes for (the pics make that look a little ropey
Oddly I was able to get classic insurance on the E28 I looked at but not the E12
I have to say that the E12's looks nicer (esp. in black) - they've got more of the 70's DTM/ETCC look about it
Anyone want to feel sick? Everything mentioned in this thread has at least doubled in value in 10 years, Im pretty sure youd struggle to buy a MK2 RS2000 for £4K too ........
I get the feeling that this would only work if we could pursuade Ernest Borgnine to drive the Isle of Wight to Portsmouth hovercraft.
Check the estimate price on this

Even the donkey RS2000 Mk6 Escort is worth a good few quid.Im pretty sure youd struggle to buy a MK2 RS2000 for £4K too ........
Old Ford = Money.
While looking for this I found another thread from 2006 where Id just turned down an E30 M3 for £3K. FML.

Bet that stings........
The if onlys!! About 10 years ago turned down a Z3M 3.2 for £2.5k with an engine issue doh.
2004 - on : 1999 S14a 398bhp 378lb/ft
2010 - on : 2007 RX8 PZ
1998 - 2004 : 1991 S13

The E12 M535i I mention at the top of this page - 2k would have bought it in 2007.
That's what I payed for the 180 early the following year...
The only E12 M I can find today is at a dealer for 30k
And I've just found another sold example that was up for 30k too
At the time I estimated I'd need to spend another 2k on the car to get it upto scratch so bought a 540i instead
The 180 may be up over the last 10 years, but it owes me 20K+ in appreciation
My colleague's friend sold a mk2 Australian RS2000 with a irreparable engine for £11K last year. I suppose the body was OK, needed full respray though and all the rubber seals.
I remember nearly swapping my st185 gt4 for a Mercedes 190 cosworth and a grand back in 2005...
That would have made some cash now.... Oh well
And the price capris are fetching now, wish I'd got 10 when they were going through the local auction for £200 a go back in 1999

There I was thinking of selling my Z4M Coupe, think I'll just keep it in the garage now!
