Sierra cosworth RS500
« on: January 13, 2009, 20:58:57 »
Any one know much about the cosworth RS500??? A mate of mine has one which came to his dads garage for a full respray 12 years ago. The owner couldnt pay up so left the car as payment. It has no engine and although from the outside it looks the part it will need a new lump and a re-commission. Are they the same engine as the sapphire cosworth? Any ideas of value anybody, as he is looking to sell?????????

Do some proper research before he sells it, could be worth a bob or two....... does he have any paperwork with it... ie, v5. etc....

If its a proper rs500 it should still the plate with the build number on it. If it is a proper 500 then the shell is worth a bit.

Ooh RS500!

2 dr with the T-tail. luverly jubberly.
Despite the looks I am still a bit of a fan of the old jellymould although I prefer the Sapphire shape if I'm honest..

Until recently there was a doctors car around here that was an XR8.
God that sounded good when it blasted past.

The RS500 YBD engine used a modified 205 block with thicker walls, they also had a  larger turbo and intercooler and an extra set of injectors.

That's just the start of it most things are different, including the ECU and exhaust manifold. There is no reason why you can't put a Sapphire engine in it might be worth selling as it is. If it's one of the original five hundred he will sell it no problem.

the engine is very similar,they are 224bhp standard,sapphire cossies are 204bhp,and they are now worth a mint in good nick,and as the man says,it has got to have the original build plate with the papers to prove it,obviously any car put in production with a limited amount built(500 of)in this case,is gonna be worth a bit.

It should have a Gold Tickford plate with which number it was off the production line  :D Really its hard to say how much its worth without seeing it.  I bet your talking about 5k for engine, transmission and looms maybe more :roll: So that will knock the price down  :undecided:

Saphires are 204bhp (quoted) in 2wd and 220 in 4wd (green top IIRC), Escort was more than that. The 500 as stated was quite a bit more complex than a "normal" cosworth.
Got to be worth a few bob though, the shell will be of value to quite e few folks as they get trashed racing and rallying.

Anothing I have remembered is it will be a Motor Sport shell, so not the same as a standard. But I can not remember what the changes were.

the rs500 shell was the same as a normal three door cosworth (motorsport shells dont have sunroofs)
as they were all built together on the same line , ford simply took 500 away and stored them for a while until tickford changed the engines , front bumper and rear spoilers,
there were some slight mods to the rear suspension mounts..if you pm me the chassis number i will tell you if its a real one

Thankyou all for your input, i think this could be one for ebay, as its really only worth what someone (with a lot of time, money and patience) is willing to pay for it. Shame to go to waste, but christ engines are expensive!
