If every car enthusiast thought that the classic car market would be dead, import or not they are just as important so the value should be similar.my personal view on this is its not worth it being the import if it was however a uk car in that condition although the price is still quite steep it would still be a go-er but its an import and i think its to expensive irrespect of the condition.
I'm not so sure about that. Integrale prices are daft because the demand is just as daft as the prices and part of the reason the demand is so high is down to the cars motorsport career. I may be wrong but I don't see GTiR prices climbing by anything worth noting.Few years time you'll be looking back thinking bargain, there is a delta integrate up for £85k at the moment.
Totally agree.Again worth mentioning is the gtir was always worth more than its rivals,you could pick up a sapphire cosworth in the late 1990's for £800 were as a gtir was more like £14,000.prices only started dropping with the influx of grey imports.
Also think some owners are also to blame they buy a £1500 shitter expect it to be reliable when it's not they moan about it on almost every forum

Incidentally, it's also worth noting that even at £85k, according to the advert the car has depreciated (not appreciated) by £15k.....and 8 months later it still hasn't sold.
I think the fact that because the GTiR is still a relatively unknown car to all but the avid petrolhead, the prices will still only fluctuate slightly. Supply and demand dictate the price and there's not much demand when compared to other (and IMHO less remarkable) cars. IIRC pulsarboby said a while back that these cars are worth more and sell faster in parts than as complete cars. That's not a sign of an in demand and appreciating vehicle.We will see, you say this but in the past 3 years import cars have been selling at double what they were, and uk and euro cars are fetching even more....
