4x4 S2 Cossie

Hi,

Want your guys opinion if i may..........

A few years ago i sent a S2 (already converted and running 4x4 Cossie) to Central Blast Cleaning for a full restore using 90% genuine ford panels - took me 2yrs to source all the parts before hand! All shot blasted etc. Full weld in roll cage, triangulated etc.

Basically i have just brought a completed S2 4x4 (you prob have seen the white one recently for sale on here!) and it's bloody mint! Love it! So, i'm unsure whether or not to sell the shell. It stands me at approx. £25k. What do you think it's worth?? Will be rolling with the old running gear on. Absolutely mint!!!

Few pics......

Well knowing what the car you bought was for sale at then if you think about it a MINT complete car for 10 / 11k makes your shell about 4k

Thanks. A bit gutting to hear that, would have thought it was worth more, but can see where your coming from like. And if anybody knows anything about buying and selling.......

Oh well, will have to have 2 then lol. Thanks mate.

your best bet would be ebay id say.
you might get lucky and get a fair bit of money for it.
it looks very nice

Thanks mate! Yeah prob stick it on ebay with a reserve and see what happens. It's one of those that stands me too much (and years of bloody hard work) so in two minds. Who shouts louder; the car or the wife and kids!?

Cheers, Chris

Chris you spent so much time and money on it, is there much left to do, can you finish it as it would surely be worth more complete?

Yep i agree - between 4k and 5k should see this sold .

you'll probably get more money in return if you finished the car..... just a thought.

Hey Mike, hope all's well mate...

You're right, got to complete it! Too much time and money spent! Think i'll just do a heap of overtime at work to compensate!

Do you know who converted the car to 4x4?

Looks good..

4x4 S2 Cossie

It used to be owned by a guy in the army, who kept it parked in the barracks, which was coastal hence why it was fairly rusted up when I brought it. It even had one of his army bags in the back! He had it converted in Germany by an rs company. No more details than that but haven't come across anybody in this country that knows of this particular car.

Cheers, chris
