1980s Fast Fords Sold By Car Collector - Prices Revealed!

Someone who collects old cars sold ten Fords from the 1980s and got more than £325,000 for them.

Last week, an online auction offered rare and popular motors to the highest bidder. The stash includes top-performing 'Fast Fords' from four decades ago.

A car was sold for £65,500 in the auction. The car was a 1987 Sierra RS Cosworth. Two Ford Escorts were also sold for more than £50,000 each.

The special sale will interest many young drivers from the 1980s.

The auction had really cool cars from the last 10 years. They were really popular cars like the Capri and sporty versions of the Fiesta and Escort.

Collecting Cars, a UK company selling popular cars solely on the internet, recently sold a collection of ten Fords and four other sought-after modern classic vehicles.

On Sunday night, the virtual hammer fell. The owner made a huge £325,895 from only selling Fords.

Including cars that are not produced by Ford, the total amount came to £410,895.

The sales total is amazing. This is not unexpected, as the value of performance Fords has gone up a lot in recent times.

The demand for pristine examples is massive. In the last 12 months, some have been sold for over half a million pounds.

The auction house claims that the seller spent many years gathering an amazing collection. The collection includes lightweight and analogue models, which are currently very popular.

Collecting Cars mentioned that they focused on cars that had a record of winning awards at the concours circuit. They pointed out that many of these high-performance vehicles had a significant collection of trophies.

A 1986 Sierra Cosworth was sold for £65,500 during an auction. It has been restored recently. This car brought in the most money out of all the items up for auction. The auction occurred on Sunday evening.

The 1983 Ford Escort RS1600i with 54,000 miles was a very wanted car. It's a rare homologation special in its original state. It was sold for over £50k.

The 1986 Sierra RS Cosworth made the most money. It's a fancy version of a Ford family car from the 80s.

This example has been recently restored to perfection.

The price reached a high of £65,000. This was a good deal considering a similar car sold for almost £600,000.

Most of the cars in the collection have very low mileage. They are also in original condition, with only a few having modifications.
