IMHO - if the CS is rust free etc then it is the better prospect. There are only somthing like 80-90 CS' left on the road now.

If it were me, I would keep the one likely to be in best condition in 10 years and make sure it stays rust free. Piles of rust are worth little unless they have a very significant historic interest.

Not sure about the specifics of the OZ group A to give a proper informed judgement, but I would guess it may be worth more now but unless it is uber rare may well be worth less in the future due to condition.

The facts as i understand:

# Australian spec Carlos Sainz grpA rallye is limited to 150 cars.
# UK spec Carlos Sainz turbo 4wd is limited to 440 cars.




...regardless, i'd follow da bears advice and keep the best condition / with supported history.

way i see it, you were so very lucky to be offer that UK spec car, right place right time etc, so keep it for ever as you will never make a loss on it at the price you paid.

it was meant to be :D so keep the UK Carlos imho.

I'm no expert, but I would have thought a rare version of the CS should be worth more than £2K now, unless it has issues of course. If you can, I would hold fire for a day or 2 and get other offers.

£2k is way cheap. £1500 buys a shitter CS


your GrpA rallye can't be that shoddy!

Speaking with a new CS woner at RallyDay he paid 3k so 2k is way underpriced for a CS/RC unless its a complete shed.

How about posting the details and pics in the For Sale section? Photos will make a huge difference if you are after serious offers.

It's a small world.

Worth over £4K it would seem.

I hope you didn't just take the £2K.
