I'm not shocked at some of the replies , yes its a ford Sierra , yes its a lot of money , but they fetch what they do . I don't understand the values of paintings or even other cars but they are what they are and i don't throw personal insults at people because they see a value in an item that i don't . If you don't understand the value of these cars then that's ok , but to start being rude and personal just makes you look the kind of person who some will chose to ignore . If you have nothing nice to say then try saying nothing . you can have an opinion and express it in an adult and polite way so why make yourself look stupid with negative replies to someone who you don't even know
These cars always sell for these high prices and when they do all the ones who reply with the stupid comments always go very quiet . as will happen when this car sells
Thank you to all those who have polite replies , Adam goes out of his way to bring these videos to you all and i appreciate him coming down to see me .
Keep up the great work Adam , and thanks to all his nice followers
I can't agree with you more Paul!
I don't know why they're worth so much, but the fact is that they are are, so you can't come on here and start being an idiot with childish comments. At the end of the day you are an expert on these cars Paul, and you've probably forgotten more than these stupid people even know. I agree Adam goes out of his way to make these videos, and in my opinion he does a great job! It people have a problem they don't have to watch. I would love to buy that car I just don't have anywhere to keep it 😢
well said Paul 👍
In fairness - a car like that for this price is always going to be contentious, right? You are spot on about personal digs - there is no need for that - but we have a right to express surprise at the price.
@@subwax oh yeah totally, I just don't understand why people leave shity comments.
It fetches that much money because it is a mint example of a bygone era! Mint ones of these are rarer than most supercars of today! It’s not about the performance but more about what the car is and what it stands for! For the people that can afford this car, it isn’t about the price! It’s only about having it to look at! This car is a beast in any collection!
I had a very dear freind called Gary Hooper who had a wonderful collection of RS500 cosworths around 9 of them if a recall
I was very lucky to be able to see them as well as actually have a little drive in his moonstone blue RS500 which the registration was GAF ??? if im.right.
Anyway he took me to see a fella called Duncan pursell of Automotive Unlimited who sold the most immaculate cosworths and im going back now must be 20yrs or more?? Anyway he had a Black RS500 54.000 miles up for £18.500 yes £18.500 and Gary told me to buy it saying in years to come these are gonna be worth a fortune has Gary was also buying up RS500 spares etc.
Cut a long story short i didn't buy it as the insurance was £1000,s but Garys words have come true.
Still at least i got to drive his RS500 and spend many times with him at many a car show and at his factory where he stored his RS500,s
Sadly Gary and his lovely wife Pam have both passed away and hes probably looking down now saying to me .. Told ya so you idiot you wouldnt listen you should of bought it 🤣
Yep you right i should of .. Miss ya mate RIP 💕
Duncan Purcell only sold the best - he knew his way round every Cosworth. A modest and honest individual. I bought a late 4x4 sapphire of him in 96 - perfect gentleman and I hope all is well with him now.
I remember when I was there he had the ebony black Sappbire Cosworth L20 COS it was up for.£11.500 which at the time was serious money when most saffys where trading atound the £5K to £6kmark. I heard later that the car was written off in an accident (if.thats true such a shame)
The car model has a legendary racing pedigree and history, built up by the legendary cosworth, is extremely rare, is beautiful, and is worth every penny. I am not a collector and would prefer to buy a driver, but that car is about as good as it gets for RS500's. Kudos to whoever purchases it.
I’m like that with pies! I can tell you a shit pie from a great one just by looking at the exterior! The crust never lies!

Celebrating a $30k stock portfolio today from a $6k start. Investing wisely has given me time for family and future plans.
From $37K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
Sounds interesting. I was planning to invest some few £ in some coins, stack them up and leave them for a few years, but seeing this changed my mindset. Thank you very much
It really is a beautiful example and the RS500 has been the car i have loved from the second i seen the first one walking to primary school . I remember the disappointment trying to find the same car as a toy in Woolworths , found the car the colour but couldn't find that spoiler and had to settle for the Xr4i . I had already fallen in love without having a clue what the experience in one was like . Hooked for life !!! . It is a shame that nobody will ever get that full experience again from the time when you could drive a Cosworth in the way that made the Cosworth the legend it is . I am so glad that the 20 or so years of Cosworths prime was the perfect timing for me to have many different Cosworths and be part of the best era to love cars . Pushing the limits of engine modifications and experiencing big boosts on green or grey injectors if memory serves me right . brought many £2000 Cosworths years ago and even had a Moonstone RS500 #494 . Was cover car on Fast Ford last year . But i know it was way more fun driving it 20yrs ago than I could have if i still had it now . Just glad I was there :)
Great video. Thanks to you Adam, and Paul.
Hi Adam and Paul, where do these cars keep appearing from.. unbelievable condition and the prices... skies the limit it would seem. Great video. Alex.
Awesome. Always been my all time favourite car! If I had the cash I'd be picking it up tomorrow. Good luck with the sale
I’m a motorcycle man and a great believer in using classics out on the road so everyone gets to enjoy seeing them rather than hiding them away in collections. But when it comes to time warp examples like this I think they should be preserved.
Only ever seen one moonstone blue one locally to me many moons ago…… gorgeous car and it eventually vanished. He’s now driving an r8 with the reg that was on the rs500
Absolutely stunning Moonstone RS500. Beautiful
Immaculate Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 on offer with Silverstone Auctions
Silverstone Auctions will offer this immaculate 1987 Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 with just 5,192 miles for sale at £150,000 - £180,000 in the hope and belief that it could well break the previous record which stands at £135,700 achieved at a Silverstone sale last year.
Paul on a 100k consignment fee 😂😂
I can’t get my head round why PL sold Adam such a dog of an Escort cosworth, why does that rs500 have boot lid struts that are knackered ?
Nearly as much as that toolbox must of been!
You beat me to that one!!
Just bought 2 euro millions lottery tickets 😂❤, speak to you tomorrow morning 😂
After me 😊😊😊
Just bought a lucky dip myself.. roll over was up to €122m earlier today.. C,mon lucky dip😂😂 ✌🇮🇪
I bought 4
I wouldn't buy it if I won, biggest disappointment you could buy, imagine the cars you could have for that money, time buyers woke up
Would you really buy a 40 year old Sierra when there are so many better modern cars that make the RS500 look positively slow? I love the Cossies, and enjoy watching Adam do his ones up, but I would never buy one now - so many better cars out there for that price, IMHO.
Put in auction then you can see what it's worth!
I'd say nowhere near 250K, but I bet someone said that before one was sold for over half a million last year, so what do I know!
Why would someone want to sell effectively for “trade” at an auction so someone else can make the profit at retail???? 😮
I'd love to see more of the Moonstone Sapphire Rouse Sport 304-R next to it.
Original paint as he’s scraping his watch up and down the paint 😮
I know. Why do people have to prop themselves up on a car like this with pristine original paint. It’s always been something that grates on me.
my watch doesnt touch the paintwork
@@michaelb9664
Ya really think paul would rub his watch against the paint ffs
😂
@@jondrizzle4554 no just his greasy mitts. Why put oils from skin on the paint of a car of this condition and value? Just fkn stand up without lying all over the paint.
Exactly mate no need for it
I wouldn't mind the price tag so much if they didn't drive like a bag of 5hit. Better of with an ST, Buy land If you want to invest! You can't make land.
Agree, I’ve had all of them and the thought of a standard one makes me cringe, they need stage 3+ some to make interesting, my sapphire cosworth drove far far nicer than my 3 door with lower miles.
Ridiculous price for a 40 odd year old Sierra, but good luck to him.
I know its not nice to deal with negative remarks, but you have to admit that you have had to be expecting them - its par for a course when you're trying to sell a Sierra for a quarter of a million pounds, nice as though it is.
its not a Sierra, its an RS500, it's like saying an 89-91 M3 is just an e30 and should not cost $100k
A mate of mine bought a black RS500 in December 2022, just under 14k miles, paid £124,500. Was thinking of selling, so sent it down to iconic last month but changed his mind and decided to keep it. Moonstone was always my favourite colour.
Ceiling must be reached by now as lads of age when these were the cars to have are now in retirement and cashing in. Case in point by these two. That said, if I could I would. Stunning examples and looked after by the best professional and enthusiast.
if we all had a time machine , we all would of dry stored are performance cars back then that's for sure, sold my 44k 5 Gt turbo for 2.5k in 97 and was mint
Could listen to Paul talking 500's all day. Lovely car
😂😂😂😂 mate i was just gonna write this exact comment.
Well done you you made it to today biggest pair of pricks in the comments 😂😂😂😂 do you get paid to write that bollocks you obviously know nothing about about fords
love the Labatt cossie in the background
there truly iconic cars the rs 500 will only go up in value you will always get the internet trolls what a beautiful beast
Crap cars. Lotus Carlton kills it in performance, looks and value.
It’s a fucking Sierra 🤮🤣🤣💩
There has to be a limit here though. When the generation that used these cars dies out or loses interest, the value will tumble.
Beautiful beast? It’s a Sierra bro 🤣🤣🤣
@oliverearnshaw6189 sierras have allways bin great cars and these look awesome.my dad had a new one in 1987.wish we still had it.
Love seeing how well kept some of these cars are, that’s an absolute beaut, the high price argument, in my opinion if they fetch that sort of money so be it, it makes them undrivable so preserves their heritage, which is nice on such a rare item 👍🏻
Just think Adam if you’d spent less time down Paul’s you might still have a wife and a garage 🤣
Uncalled for that's not needed comments like that get a grip
A great dream and then you drive it. 😮
Amen
They say never meet your heroes. I could never afford an rs turbo when I was younger and when I finally could afford one and made the purchase I regretted it. Yes these classics are iconic, but most of them drive like shite and they are nowhere near as fast as you imagined as a kid
Something is only worth what you can sell it for, you can ask what you want but that means nothing.
Yes, 1980s underpowered by today's standard, rattly, smelly unusable sierra, tell you what, il buy it and keep it in a heated garage for the next owner.... These were meant to be used, if the car will outlive you - what's the point, USE THEM
@@s_p_onarge8720 totally agree I had a RS2000 escort mk2 bought it when it was about few years old . Was nice looking but drove pretty shit also.
I feel like this is artificially inflating the market, these cars shouldn’t be asking this kind of money
Can ask what you want for a car doesn’t mean you’re getting it 😂 💰
stunning motor, people forget 265k is pocket money to some people!
... but not to most of us, right?
@@subwax no, but that domt matter. it'll sell.
Nice to see such a stunning example amazing condition.
Know guy who has a new rs500. At least I think he still has it. Not seen him in while. He did say he was never gonna sell it.
Original owner with 3 delivery miles on it. Bought it and stored it.
My brother had an RS500 in Moonstone Blue, it was his company car, never got a chance to have a go in it, he had a Sierra 4X4 before that and that was pretty good fun
Nice tidy car. But if I was going to pay that for a car. I would sooner buy a RS 500 racing car. You would get more enjoyment out of it , flying around Donington race track. 👍👍👍👍👍 great to see you doing videos Adam.😀
Could you give a tour on that toolbox, bet thers a few quid there
Ex Mrs parents had a neighbour who owned one in moonstone back in the 90s. It was absolutely mint and original. Used to get it out on a Sunday to turn the engine over. Ended up selling it for a Honda fireblade. I'm pretty sure that man will have massive regret.
Love the car I'm a big ford fan myself can you tell me what Daz a shell cost
I'd love to know Paul's opinion on if he thinks the 5 pot Focus ST and RS in years to come will follow suit in the performance Ford market with hindsight of how it is today with all these old Ford classics.
RSC271 was the registration number of my 1959 triumph. That would be nice on a rs500 , especially the 271st one of the line .
Watched two seconds and don't care about the rest - it's a FORD SIERRA not a house, don't care how many miles or owners or condition, whoever buys it needs their head looking at
Edit: from an RSOC member with two cossies owned for over 20yrs
Jealousy can make some people say sarcastic rubbish....
I don’t believe for one second you owned 2 Sierra Cosworths yourself , I am around the Ford scene, NOBODY would say IT’S A FORD SIERRA after owning TWO themselves. 😂
Sound a bit bitter pal ? Yours rot away did they or you just not get anywhere near what they are worth now?
@@leechampion6538 come to the rs owners club show at Cotswold wildlife park on the 30th of June and you can sit in my car 👍
@@stuartrobson4891 I'm bitter but you hope my cars rotted away or not worth anything - I'm not in it for the money - pal
Adam nice to see u at Paul's doing a video I live in Dorset there is place called corfe mullen and there some bloke up there has got all ford every time a new ford came out mainly rs models from going back to the escorts I bet bet he's got cossie or two they have no miles no one nose where he live does paul
What a car absolutely beautiful
Tell me, just as an observer, I don't own one, why is this £265k but one went last year at auction for nearly £600k, both mileages in the same ball park?
The car that sold for 600k had a middle Eastern Prince bidding and someone with to much money bidding so the price went stupidly high
@@hillbillymal9351and that car now resides in the Middle East never to turn a wheel and been seen again. I know that for a fact
@@revveduprides5125 l believe you
First Sierra Cosworth I ever saw in a dealer showroom was in Moonstone. It was a 1986 'D' registration & the price was around about £17,000.
Exactly what they are worth now with the amount of horsepower and car you can buy
To put thing/prices into perspective. A Ferrari 250 GTO was new $18000/equivalent to 17000 Euros. In November last year, a 250 GTO was sold at RM auctions for around 48 million Euros!!! A car is worth the amount of money the buyer is willing to pay, end of!
It's TIN WORM on wheels, WORTH absolutely F ALL
I wonder what the limit with these will hit? If it ever does hit a limit... Amazing car, thanks for the video.
Asking price is not sale price though 👍
Up to £100k i can understand it if you have a really good memory point for them but a quarter of a million quid we’re talking McLaren money..i know what id prefer..saying that cars had character back in the day lovely thing 👍👌
The cars not for driving though
More a collector piece .
Or a 1 of 1 rare painting
It makes sense if you’re a wealthy Ford fan that wants the best of the best though.
@@benmayne7910 who you keeping it for, were here for a good time not a long time, it was built to be driven not sat in a heated bubble being polished
grear video adam , lovely car 😍
1 owner on the logbook but it’s been owned by more than that. The moonstone car was part of the “rs bonkers” collection so has definitely been owned by more than 1 person as I remember him buying it and selling it
Got lots of all model cosworth parts !!!!
Thanks again chaps
Wow guys what a fantastic car and video hope you still got your both car's mate 👍
Sierra cosworth! Yeah, I remember a guy i worked with probably 20ish or so years ago in a sausage factory it was his day,le driver!! Cost him loads of cash to buy & run back then!! Same blue as well 😮
a guy i knew that owned a breaker's yard took a 1.6 3 door and made it look like one of these and he was the envy of every single hot hatch owner for miles around. I wonder how many reps there still are out there....
I got offered a black one once for £500 and it had an original cosworth kit on it with the 500 lower spoiler. that was about 1999 - 2001 ish !!!
All that money and the tailgate struts are knackered! Surely they’re available to change them!
Wonder what else is knackered? A garage queen like that has probably got knackered rubbers all over the place? I LOVE Ford (I've owned and still own Ford's from the day I passed & I'm 50 now) but that amount of money for something that sadly just doesn't cut it against modern cars?
Sierra XR8, 5L V8, Windsor, change the spark plugs yourself, over 200bhp, no wait for the factory mechanic, tune it up as much as you want
Moonstone all the way, my 1990 Saph 4x4 looked gorgeous back in the day.
My favourite colour all day long absolutely stunning example, got me thinking of the cars you can buy for that kind of money though or multiple cars that will hold value and increase and drive.
Superb vehicle. It's worth what someone is prepared to pay for it.
Some one buy this and park it next to their Model T.. it’s as useless..
A beautiful Sierra RS500. It takes me back to my youth to see such a car. They were unattainable then as they are now.
Would love to see all them old motorcross bikes he has looks like a lot of old 80,s honda cr 500,s there❤
Adam and Paul have done a couple of videos of them. Sure Paul’s recently sold a few to buy something else
He said mark owed it and sold it then isn't that two previous owners
Yes it is, this guy is the third owner.
I thought this
Car dealers get to lie n act like they didnt own it. Its standard practice
That was my exact comment before reading yours !!!
So is it 1 owner 2 traders that never actually had it in their names?
Absolute peach of a car it’s the best looking rs produced by Ford closely followed by the escort rs1600i imo. If I’d the money I would have this. Glwts.
Out of the 500 how many are left on the road now
Wait ten years and it'll be less than half that. These cars have a special place in the hearts of a generation. Unfortunately, that generation is dying off. The younger buyers have no interest in these things.
They are still a thing. I was offered a genuine rs500 for 11k in 97 I was 18 years of age and wished I had 11k for it back then. That one was on a E plate, black, had rally work done on the engin and had two engine rebuilds, the guy drove it hard all the time 😅😅 he definitely enjoyed it.
Adam did you sell yours ? yet
Absolutely wild price it's nice to see low miles but those cars were meant to be driven sad that most will never get their hands on one to experience it at supercar money
Id prefer a 22b or prodrive p25
Whoopie do
@@russrs959 hero
👍👍 👌👌
Adam hows the other fellas car coming along. The 3 door with the a v6 Raptor engine?? ✌🇮🇪
That guy has a fb page it's a very impressive car is that one
Adam won’t answer you. He likes the likes and views but not good at replying to questions unfortunately
I’m sorry everyone is jumping on the bandwagon since the black one went for £525k, £75k auction fee, on the day 2 people wanted to buy it, auction said on the day £150k but may reach £180k but £600k, don’t get me wrong if i was a multi millionaire I would of gone to £1M because it’s my all time favourite car, this one is beautiful better than the £350k just sold, in 2013 i got a black 1 owner (rockstar) 8k miles for £55k 😭 I’m sure the same car is here in this garage of paul linfoot
This is the car Paul and Adam are referring to that was advertised for £350,000. Our car, now sold.
ua-cam.com/video/DXUzes-6f7A/v-deo.htmlsi=-osSUtIYIjcnUI2A
That’s good money in that condition,cheers chaps 👍😉💪
Not worth the price seems a popular comment here, however this is a rare car and if it sells or not it sets a precedent, I’m not suggesting that’s right or wrong it’s just how the market goes, if the seller is a dreamer how much is it worth, how much money do you have to offer, how much is your one you have for sale or where is your link to one that can be bought significantly cheaper? Or are you perhaps dreaming?….
so the purchaser/next owner would be the third?
nearly as much as Pauls mega roller cabs ❤️😍
Went to a local car show near me and seen RS500 (E300RAT) at the weekend was plated as 456 out of 500
£250k and its missing the left number plate srew cap lol
We followed Colin McRae's mum driving a moonstone blue RS500 chase car in the 1988 Scottish International Rally. I wonder if that car still exists?
cheers adam,be nice to see some nice normal 3 doors,hope all ok?
I hope you still have your car mate gutted your selling it as it deserves to be in your hands you've had it so long and is part of you mate if I had the money I'd buy it just for you to have it as I've watched your channel for sometime now and you deserve it fingers crossed you keep it and it stays in your hands and also keep up gd work I believe in karma and all will work out 👍
If you have any idea of the historical value of such an iconic rally car the price will not surprise you at all
Wow yet another stunning 500. Is the story of the missing 500 ( never registered) true or myth.??
The problem is these cars are not Ferrari's etc.. they have a limited time span as a 'collectors car' and as such are not a solid investment. As generation X grows old and dies, next 20-30 years, these cars will loose value. A 1950's Ferrari has value, a 1950's ford does not.
Nice cars but its still only a sierra ....price is nuts
He must be on the sniff
350kish for similar a few weeks back
If i was paul though i wouldnt mind it selling for 265k. I inagine its a nice little eRner even 1% for chucking a shammy over it.
Only nuts if you can’t afford it
Stupid people pay stupid prices... the celica ST205 GT4 is a much better car and alot more rare.
It will sell quickly, some pathetic comments in here tbh. Some people simply dont know what there are talking about. If Paul says its a minter then its a minter. Bonkers collection just adds to the provenance as that bloke had nothing but the very best. Hope it sells quickly just to shut the plonkers up!
Tell him he's dreamin.
@jambo7348by the looks of it the seller doesnt either 🤣 can jog at that money
@jambo7348 Oh why so serious... Let's be serious.
The ugliest car with the best driveline.... to put into an old escort.
@@_wallnutz_the fact is that Paul does know what he’s talking about. Let’s wait and see…..
@jambo7348 No it's not. It's actually Wednesday. Haha
I'd buy 3 of R31 Gtr that I'd actually drive as well. Haha. Because I'm way ahead of you.
@jambo7348 From the Castle. "Tell him he's dreamin"
Lovely car, just need to win the lottery first.
We definitely need a walk round of that massive tool box. Probably cost the same as the car 😂
Why did they decide on the 3 colours
Black
White
Moonstone Blue ???
Fair play, if you can achieve that amount that’s impressive. I rate the escort way above a sierra even a 500 but I guess the guys who have the big money grew up with these where as I was a 90’s kid and the escort cosworth ruled.
How many are still available
Wow, that's like going back to 1987, fresh out the showroom. I'll never own one,especially at that price,but I'd have it in a heartbeat, but then becomes unusable to drive, still amazing though😮
Boot rams need doing little let down for the car ..that’s at least 10k of the asking price ? 😊strange Paul didn’t replace them I thought
