It's not for everyone to be spannering on these cars or any others.

Yes, I would be delighted to get a usable saxo for under a grand but if they were plentiful for £250 for example then it wouldn't be long before they were gone completely as nobody would look after them or spend anything fixing them, knowing that they can just scrap it and get another. This is precisely why all the mainstream popular cars disappeared. Novas? Escorts? minis? All worth a bomb now because they were so disposable at the time.

I think there's a place for all price points. Personally it was a VTR I was looking out for, never intended to get a VTS lol.
I agree, a few grand on a nice, standard VTS, not £5-6k on a VTR.
