I’d forgotten about Rhys, he was excellent too.

The Audi was frame red. I started looking for one after the series as a restoration project - same as every one else looking at the prices lol

They got everything about the era right.

Including everyone had an ashtray on their desk, smoking in the office, women made the tea ( no offence girls ) and page 3 calendars everywhere

Amazing the prices of certain cars, an early escort RS2000 can fetch massive money, the Mexico, Capri 280 Brooklands, second mortgage cars!

Cosworth RS 500 - 100k plus for a showroom.

Rich fellas buying the dreams of their youth.

Same with bikes - Yamaha RD 250/350 LC - 10k showroom

It’s a weird one, as the likes of the Young Ones never got released on dvd and I never remember it getting repeated either, where as other stuff like Monty Python and Ripping Yarns did.

The Young Ones did mate

Amazon product ASIN B000VA3J70

A MKII Capri John Player special is the one I want mate, don't think I would need the second mortgage either to get one.

12 / 15K showroom.

Not many out there that are minters though, due to rust and originally being owned by nobheads

I was talking to a lad in the garage the other day, and he reckons in 10 years time my 2008 Astra VXR will be a classic because of nobheads who own them now! lol

He’s spot on, same goes for the Focus ST - non left in ten years.

I'd agree with that, maybe not 10 years but I see where hes coming from.

If you want to make guaranteed money on a car, buy anything by Ford that says RS on the end of it, and stick it in a garage untouched for 30 years.

The lad who does the paint on my cars collects modern classics as investments ;

Ford - Escort RS Turbo Custom / Cozzy RS 500 / Brooklands Capri 280 Special / 3.0 litre Capri Ghia / Fiesta RS Turbo

Vauxhall - Astra GTE 16v Mk 2

VW - Golf Gti Mk 1 / Siricco VR6 Storm / Golf VR6 Storm / Corrado VR 6 Storm.

Mini Cooper Mark 1 / Mini 1275 GT.

He’s got a factory unit full of all of these cars. It’s a true pleasure to have a walk around it with him.

It's a bit like trabs, have an original pair unworn and boxed, charge a small fortune.

Mate of mine is pretty much stockpiling Audi TT's (mk1) because he thinks they're going to be classics. I dont have the heart to tell him.

I used to have a Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo Plus and a Mk6 Escort RS2000 4x4, as well as the Fiesta RS Turbo - wish I'd kept them ffs.

The TT mk1 with the baseball glove seats is the only one ( imo) that could make money. He’d be better off with MK 1 Boxters
