The Escort Cosworth is already a classic and demanding massive money... So it's in no way a future classic as the future is now.

I can use the extra £100k to have webbed toes surgically attached if I win.
I think I'd quite like that one - they've made the most of the view and it looks light and airy (which will be my #1 priority in my next house). . I think I'm on the verge of being done with old houses where you're in a fairly constant battle with it degrading quicker than you can repair it. And I like Norfolk well enough.

I dunno about the pool though.

I watched an episode of a car show (maybe 5th gear?) where they lapped a Cossy against the newish Fiesta ST (a three pot one?) around Anglesey.

They reckoned the Fiesta was quicker. I called bullshit.
I remember Clarkson saying that there wasn't much on the road that in any practical sense would beat an Escort Cossie.

I wouldn't fancy one now, aside from the poor image (boy racer) I don't think there are many places where it would be advantageous over a normal Escort unless you want to get nicked for speeding or smash the alloys into potholes.

Bonhams and Christies :thumbup:

There was one just like that ^^^ in "the department" when I was at Uni. It was totally stock, delivery milage, giften to the Uni from Ford by some route or another. It was missing a few key black boxes ISTR but otherwise was a totally mint totally stock Cossie. Even in the noughties it must have been worth a few quid.

Proper colour Ferrari! :wub:

Ferrari 488 GTB Ateilier

The Ferrari 488 is the first mid-engine Ferrari to use a turbocharged V8 since the legendary F40. The 488 GTB is powered by a 3.9L twin turbo V8 engine, smaller in displacement but generating a higher power output than the previous 458’s naturally aspirated engines. The 3.9L twin turbo V8 engine is capable of producing just under 660bhp & around 760nm of torque.

Meaning the Ferrari 488 GTB can shift from 0-62mph in as little as 3.0seconds and hit over 200mph!

If a regular 488 GTB wasn’t impressive enough, this example has an individual specification created by Atelier – the Ferrari Personalization Programme. The triple layer, Rosso Fuoco paintwork alone was a £15,000 optional extra!

We’re giving you the chance to own this beautiful example of a Ferrari 488 GTB for as little as 99p! You do not want to miss this!

And now for something completely different! :thumbup:

The ultimate package for the vintage petrol heads among us with our stunning Californian F100 Ford and the gorgeous Triumph TR6 originally from Colorado and imported a few years ago.

Let's start with the truck... This beautiful Ford was purchased in Menton California in 2010 where it had been owned by a fella since 1964... it then made its way to its most recent owner in the UK who completed a frame off restoration taking 3 years to finish the project. The first thing you notice about this Ford is the bodywork and those 50's lines giving the F100 so much kurb appeal even if you aren't a car enthusiast it's hard not to fall in love. Painted in Ford Light Grey and fitted with Dodge Dart rear lights all crafted to fit perfectly. Riding on Gaz adjustable shocks and Aston Martin springs coupled to a Jaguar V12 XJS front and rear suspension which is a really key feature as this truck with all round discs and in board rear discs drives and stops beautifully. The Tailgate with the Ford logo drops down to reveal the wooden trunk bed which is simply a stunning centerpiece and a great backdrop for our Triumph.

When you lift the hood on any car quite often these days it's a bit disappointing ... well our truck delivers with a stunningly clean engine bay that's quite simply all American V8 with that small block chevy 400ci and the matching air cleaner painted in grey with detailed pinstriping .. It's simple, clean and classy which is exactly what this Ford is all about. The gearbox is a 3 speed GM400 turbo automatic that shifts from the steering column and as you might expect offers a low V8 burble that just demands cruising with your arm out the window. If you hadn't noticed the wheels yet, well these are a bit special being 17" rocket racing wheels with 255's in the rear and 245's up front with proper white walls which are the finishing touch that any 50's truck deserves. The modifications don't just stop on the outside, inside we have electric windows, 1956 Ford Zephyr heater controls that are actually for the choke setting, Volvo Amazon switches and gauges from a 50's Cadillac and a super comfy bench seat from a Humber super snipe its even got a modern stereo fitted hidden under the dash so it doesn't spoil that classic look.

1972 - Triumph Custom Bobber
Just in case you didn't already know, this fantastic truck also comes with the addition of the Triumph TR6 motorbike so if you thought this prize wasn't cool enough it is now!. Similarly to our Ford our 1972 Triumph is a U.S import spending its life in Colorado before being imported to the UK in 2015. Built to match the F100 and painted in the same colours the TR6 was given the bobber look with a bolt on hardtail, flat tracker tyres and an uprated front end with forks and wheel from a T140 Triumph T140. Bobber sprung seat with custom rear fender in matching paint too. It's had a custom made oil tank, battery box and tucked away behind that 650cc Triumph twin engine running straight through pipes and sounds glorious.

There is something about a RR Sport that I can’t get my head around. The full fat proper RR all day long, but I really don’t like the Sport.

Deffo not a black on black on black man myself, so I'll have the 80k :D

It's just so boring and cliche. :obscene-birdiedoublered: Not even the dullness of colour which makes it boring, just the dullness of choice.
