Sadly they're likely to get it too - it's called the Blue Oval Tax. A comparable car from Vauxhall, Volvo or whoever would be about half that for similar condition.
Tha said it's surprisingly rust free given the colour, beige cars from that era always seemed to rust very quickly, even when they were new. Aside from the RS 4-spoke alloys (that were an original option but it doesn't have the full set, the spare is the standard Rubery-Owens pressed steel "Sports" wheel) it appears to be entirely standard even down to the non-servo brakes.
Good basis for a concours restoration.
