Hi all
After many interesting opinions about the price of a Rallye at the current time with reflection of age condition colour and original miles covered am atempting to see what the current value should really be

I have a black rallye with 155k on the clock body condition fair for age cost 1k in jan with watching out for a white one and observing the price jump am not sure of a realistic price

Are there so few left and if so what do you think yours is worth or woud you pay to get one

Just stick it up for £3k and see what happens, everyone else looks to be doing that

I too have noticed the apparent resurgence of the Rallye market over the last 6 weeks. Whilst people may scoff at some of the prices being asked, clearly some of these cars are moving at near these prices. This suggests there are buyers looking and willing to pay.

I firmly believe the Rallye is going to be a future classic. Renouned as one of the very best hot hatches, they were limited in numbers to start with. A limited numbers version of a classic will always attract more interest.

What is also becoming abundantly clear is that the higher end of the market wants clean, original, non modified and looked after examples. Given the age of these cars and the relative scarcity to begin with, low mileage examples will be very, very hard to come by. They will also attract a premium, but again, how much will then depend on condition, originality etc. They are also likely to be in car collectors collections and won't come up for sale very often, if they are even offered on the public market at all. Those cars in as close to factory condition as possible will be in demand as time goes on and attrition continues to lower the numbers of Rallye's left. Mileage is a factor but as long as it can be proven that bits likely to be worn in relation to nmilegae (suspension, arms, bushes, clutch etc) have been replaced, it becomes less of an issue.

How do I know the buyers are there for these cars? Because over the three forums I'm updating my Rallye resto thread, I've had a number of people message expressing an interest of talking seriously about purchase once its finished. Also, I saw a post from Carl Chambers stating he'd turned down 15k for his white Rallye!

I purchased my white Rallye 3 years ago from Carl G with 67k on the clock, full service history, totally standard, recent cambelt and beam overhaul.

Its now just ticked over 73k and is due a new belt and MOT. I looked for a long time and noticed 3 years ago they were beginning to suffer with rust issues, badly worn seats and abuse etc...

I paid what many would consider way over the odd's at the time but I wanted a cared for example that had a mint interior, had no paint, no accident damage, no rust from wrecked jacking points etc. If you buy cheap and want perfection (or close to it) the bills will soon add up once you've spent on correcting the worn/damaged stuff.

If you want the best of a rare breed you will have to pay for it. Yes there are other cars more capable, faster, more powerful etc.. for the £3k to £5k I think a very good Rallye should cost however the same argument applies to most classics as time moves on. Just look at the values of the 205, R5 Turbo, RS Turbos, Clio Williams.

Its about time the Rallye and 6 are appreciated for what they are, a fantasic hot hatch and probably the best of their era. The other classics mentioned above, you will still get one for £2k ish that are rough and need work, but the very best examples are going for three times that (and more...) I dont think it'll be long before immaculate standard Rallye's and 6's start moving in that direction.

At the end of the day there is plently of love for these cars, and if the right person wants one bad enough they will pay a premium for the right car. All my opinion of course.

Yours will be worth a decent amount mate when ur finished. Everyone is right that it's the original standard ones that will be worth money. Not like my lowered example with funny decals !! That said I'm not bothered because I won't be selling for the foreseeable!

I can't see them being a bad thing as long as you keep and include the originals.... It puzzles me to be honest as to why Citroen fitted them and Peugeot didnt.

Once the Rallye gets on to one of these types of lists (self-fulfilling) then its game on

I started my Mid Life Crisis by looking at a few 968CS a few years ago but (as you know) my lack of spanner skills put me off. And decided that the 6 would be more fun and less of a drain (relatively). But if i had a garage i saw a stunning one for £10k with all the bits which would be nice appreciating (if not burning a hole in my pocket with repairs).

Hmmmm......it's now getting a bit silly!

I remember when i worked at BarCap (canary wharf) one of the contractors took my out in his CS (auto) and i knew i wanted one then - just couldn't afford it...and didn't really need a car in London (i walked to work and staggered home so was very rarely sober enough to drive!) I still have a search on Autotrader and tease myself. I just know that i don't have the skills to keep it on the road.

I also keep looking at NSX's.... you?


My dad had a 504 estate, 505, 604, (he used to buy cars at auction in Glasgow, do up and sell car in London to make ends meet) and my mum's first car was a 104. But she bought a s**tter from the auction without my dad - so my dad had to buy a donor and swap engines..making his own engine pulley. He must wonder if i'm his kid sometimes So i guess although this is my first Pug....i did grow up with them! And fords, and dastuns...and..
