I've noticed on Pistonheads there are only 7-8 for sale atm, it's just crazy, there was always 30+ on there a year or two ago, what's happened? I know it's a bit crazy but honestly I think the 25-30 span is how long it will be until I have my own property with a double garage lol... basically my dream!
I may treat myself to another R5 in a couple of years, but really I would love a double garage so I could actually work on the car properly. Do you think they will be extremely rare by then? I see more and more people actually restoring these now, I think the times as R5's being 'chav' motors is over tbh... the boy racers want something more 'reliable' and this is where Fiesta's/Civic's/Clio Sport's come in imo.
A few years down the line I can really see the gap getting bigger between real shit heap R5's (under £1,000) and absolutely restored minters (already going for around £6,000+) what do you think?
