Was having a quick nosey at a few of these with the idea of a fun car I can just chuck in my garage and drive whenever I feel the need.
Stumbled across this little beauty but £12k, it's about £11k over my budget!

Are they really worth that much?

The answer to your question is no its not, there was a white one that has 2k more on the clock that went for 7ish k with fsh.
Where as its very nice its defintately not worth that money (I dont think they were that much new )

I agree with Tony, my father used to have a 1.6 which was nippy and even though this example is clearly mint, even with the low mileage I think the owner is being a little optimistic lol

I did of think he was a little bit optimistic. Although I am sure some loaded, avid car collector will turn up with the cash.

They are certainly collectable and regularly voted one of the best ever driver's cars. If I were rich, I would buy it just to store away

ive had both of theses 1.6 and 1.9 very good fun and after i had 309gti 3 door motorsport (no sun roof)version and personally i thought that was better again but think what 12k would buy you in second hand deparment, definatley not worth that amount

The ones to go for are the limited editions. I had the 1.9GTi Exclusive in Miami Blue with power steering, full leather and air con. They also did them in Sorrento Green. Awesome cars and would love another someday. Pikey in an old MK4 Escort drove into the back of mine though

There's no sunroof in my Fiesta, must be 'motorsport' then, cool

Never worth that much unless it was literally brand new and stored all its life. I sold mine for my Pug 106 and £450 cash money, only wanted £900 for it as it had a couple of issues I was honest enough to mention.

Miss it though as easily the best drivers car I've owned

Lovely, but too many owners for the money. Can see it going for £8k.

Excellent, the more people that put up ads like that the more mine will be worth
