Nice car Dom, but what makes you think that it'll appreciate?
Unfortunately, like a lot of these Group B monsters, they're being overtaken by "everyday" cars now, with a lot more refinement and so on. There will always be a hardcore demand for cars like this, but as an investment, personally i'd say that it will just depreciate more slowly than most other cars.
In 1987, i seriously thought about buying a Quattro Sport. Until i found out the price - £235,000!
That was at the top of the mad 80's boom mind you. Today, 40-50k should get you a very well looked after example.

I'm obviously not 100% sure that it will appreciate, I have always wanted one and after a bit of investigating and watching prices being asked I personally think that they are at the stage when they will start appreciating slowly!
They only made 217, of which only 6 offically came to the UK. I guess quite a few have been written off or converted to race/rally cars so there can't be many more than 150 left in road trim!(Thanks Gary)
I could be wrong and lose some money...better than losing it on the Horses I guess!!

They don't come along that often, and I think that only 1 has been scraped, There is another way of getting somthing a bit like it, Try www.dialynx.co.uk/conversions.htm, They Cut up a UR then put it on steroids.
