A guy I had a conversation with has a MK1 XR2, with less than 500 miles on the clock, it must be worth similar money, he refused a swop with a seven year old Ferrari.
These type of vehicles are usually compared to a rare Wine, it only has significant value if it remains unopened. The XR2 I saw was used for promotion purposes by Ford, but travelled by transporter, the low mileage and lack of restoration is everything.

I had an xr2 once,thrashed the blighter like wot one was supposed to,it ate tyres too Pirelli p6's if memory serves,never bought a Pirelli since.
I had one for work in the 70s and 80s ran them into the ground , oh and one into a field upside down. I think that one went to the knackers yard.
Its amazing how valuable some of the cars are from that era. I had a Mini cooper in the mid 1960s , be worth a fortune now , also A Ford Cortina 1600E now a classic car,

I loved the 1600E, lovely car. Even the mk3 was a pleasure to drive. I think the reason these old cars are worth so much is that they had character, unlike most of today's cars which are only identifiable by their badges.
Just had a look at the 1980 RS2000 performance figures, 110 BHP, 0-60 8.6 seconds, but, because they weren't full of incidental stuff (aircon etc), the BHP felt more.
