Anywhere from £2.5k for a high ish mileage, slightly rough condition with standard trim, non WR Sport to £8k for an immaculate WR Sport with some sensible mod's.

I'm just selling mine, WR Sport 092..... it's on Pistonheads now :-)

LOL...... No RB5 in the country would make £8000. !!!

High mileage one in average condition - £1500 to £2000
Low mileage nice clean car - £3500 to £4500

The market is small as they demand a higher price than a normal turbo because its a special model, however the only real difference is the colour and seats.

Obviously cars that have been modified may make a bit more depending on what's been done, but the purists out there will want a standard car.

Originality is the main criteria when items become classic and sought after. Many RB5's are now modded to the "owners" preference and will ultimately be worth less than an original minter in 30 years time.

Totally agree, however I don't think the RB5 is ever going to be a 'collectors' car. It's a UK turbo with nice paint, fancy seats and a few badges at the end of the day.
In 30 years time cars like an original RA, P1 or type R in standard trim will be what people want, oh and ofcourse the 22B.
I actually think my pricing above was a little high, it would need to be a very very nice standard car to bring £4500 in today's market.
The only classics that make decent money 'now/today' are cars that have been modified or cars that have crazy low mileage (obviously the 22B is in a different league).

No they don't. I thought they did and even saw sales literature when they were released that said they did, but it turns out they don't. A thread a few years ago on here confirmed that to be the case.

They don't have folding rear seats like the rest of the UK 4 door classics!
