Wonderful looking machine but they must be open to offers at this sort of money ? I always admire the way KGF put down the history of these Fords , almost like the sale of a Picasso or a Degas , automotive art .

Well, I don’t get it at all TBH. Ridiculous price IMO.
Yes, I have owned 2 x Cossies back then and drove a standard RS500, nice cars, good in the day, but harsh engine, laggy, rubbery G change, of its era indeed.
In the late 90’s I owned my first Evo, a 6, a MUCH Much better car all round, what are they worth these days?
Still, good if your selling I suppose

I think the price would have been subject to Offers though in my humble opinion it’s easily worth £250kYes, I have owned 2 x Cossies back then and drove a standard RS500, nice cars, good in the day, but harsh engine, laggy, rubbery G change, of its era indeed.

I don’t think your perception of how the car drove or didn’t drive back in the day has any relevance to the value and there are plenty of super cars especially from the seventies that were almost undriveable on a day to day basis through either lack of vision or worse still ventilation . If this were a Ferrari achieving this price nobody would bat an eyelid , why should an RS500 be any different ?

And yet, its still almost half the price that similar mileage black RS500 sold for at auction a couple of years ago, and this one is Moonstone and with probably better ownership history.I'm surprised given what that black one went for at auction, that the owner of this one didn't put this through an auction as well in the hope of a similar half million + bid....?
I remember back in 87/88 there were stories of quite a few RS500's being bought with the sole aim of being tucked away as investments, long before people thought of them as such, and people were being laughed at such a suggestion. Fast forward 30+ years and those that did so that are having the laugh now as they sell up and trouser a lot of cash.....
It’s an interesting topic and I suppose many are attempting to spot the next appreciating Ford .
A few contenders though none I think will fetch this money . I am thinking of those blokes over on the Aston channel who ask what’s the etiquette when passing another Aston , flashing lights and suchlike . I suppose the typical Ford owner would instantly ask “is it a rep”?

Iconic Auctioneers sold 2 low mileage cars recently, both combined sold for less than this.
Yes, there was this one:https://www.iconicauctioneers.com/1987-ford-sierra...
Sold for £189k
There was talk that £500k is the new normal, but that's far from the case - only a few weeks after the "big one" another one went for £200k and they seem to be dropping back from that even - as the one above shows.
Lesser (i.e. higher mileage) 500's are back in the 120k region again seemingly.
More for sale here:
