Top 10 cars sold at Silverstone Auctions' NEC sale
Auction records tumbled as a 1980 Mk2 Ford Escort RS2000 Custom sells for £97,875 and a 1996 Ford Escort Cosworth Lux went for £91,125 at this year’s NEC classic motor show sale.
A total of £3.6m changed hands during the auction with 67 per cent of the lots on offer finding new owners at the Silverstone Auctions sale on November 11-12.
1988 Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500
In total, 500 versions of the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth were needed to homologate the Evolution model in British and European Touring car racing. They were all converted by Tickford Engineering (this being number 455 out of 500) and featured a more powerful 224bhp engine as well as many aerodynamic tweaks to the bodywork which included much larger spoilers and cooling ducts front and rear.
This car has recently had a £4000 service, which included all fluids, belts, and a new battery. The mileage is just 6000 and the car remains untouched. RS500 Registrar, Paul Linfoot, says it is one of ‘the most original and best available RS 500s’ in the world today.
Sold for: £112,500
