Default Desert storm shell, with standard 2WD engine and running gear for sale

Decided I will likely move away from Cosworth ownership in the near future, having bought this project at the end of last year and the time it has taken to get to this stage, I have simply lost patience with it. I am weighing up what I want to do over the next few years, which means I need to realistically start getting rid of some things and this is first up.

Unfinished restoration project, F plate 2WD Cosworth, originally crystal blue in colour. I won’t go into massive detail since it’s just a bunch of bits at the moment. The shell has steel arches and wings, needs the passenger side prepped and then the whole car repainted. Underside is solid, I had the minor repairs it did need all carried out by a professional bodyshop and welding/fab work has all been done to a high standard. This car needs no welding or panels now.

Sale includes rebuilt 2WD engine with as new T34/.63, T5 box, and 7.5” Diff. Shell comes with all doors, bonnet, bumpers, and no interior. Will also come with suspension so it is rolling.

Not willing to split or entertain silly offers on this. I am simply looking to consolidate a bit, and have not ruled out long term storage. £4.5k which I believe is fair. Pics of shell and progress can be seen in resto section.

Wow rog, wouldn't have thought you would have got that far and decided to get out it in sure you have got your reason. If your getting out of cosworths your not going to part with the silver 1 as well are you?

A few things happening means I may sell the other one too, just need to have a clear out and plan for what's next.
Priced at way less than I've spent so far, so it's a good buy for someone who wants to continue with it.

Just don't have the passion or inclination to get involved with cossies anymore, and pretty sure it won't be coming back, so I think it's time to move on.

You have said what I was thinking Jay. This was the fastest Cossie of its day. Prior to the Hadland era.

Hi. What's the deal on the shell? I take it you mean as described above but not including the engine?
