If it's old and rare and has a Blue Oval on the front, it must be expensive - right? Not necessarily...
Even before the current mayhem, classic fast Ford values had shot up. Capris, Cortinas and Cossies of every stripe have been big money for a while now, the powerful combination of nostalgia and the usual decimation of survivors sending asking prices into the stratosphere. Then appreciation started to get to the more modern fast Fords, then the less notable - then seemingly every car ever made with a Blue Oval on the front and a spoiler on the back.
Point being that, while great fast Fords like the Focus RS and Racing Puma will always deservedly attract attention, there are plenty of ordinary cars out there with chunky asking prices purely on account of a badge and comparative rarity. Which ought to mean thatcosts about £40k; there were never that many in the first place, it’s in great condition and it hails from that New Edge era - think Ka, Puma, Focus - that’s now prime modern classic territory. When they’re not total rust buckets.
Okay, there weren’t many fans of the styling when new, and it would probably be fair to say this is not one of the timeless New Edge greats in the way that both Focus and Ka are. On the other hand, it now looks so perfectly of its time that to solely hold design against the Cougar seems unfair. You’re certainly going to look twice in 2022 purely on account of how rare it is.
