rsjp

not a genuine one but i remember the ebay ad from ages ago saying it has cosworth on the logbook, i dont think it is a ford built car though

it is a motorsport shell probably with a dvla vin number stamped onto the strut top, i guess it would start in SABTVR****** etc etc

Wasnt it claimed to be an rs500 at some time, and built by a bloke who worked at A1, iirc
Sure it had all rs500 bits on it

yes i think one of the owners actually fooled a buyer into thinking it was a real one and then when that person found out it was a kit car (after buying it!!!) wasnt too pleased

Butch.

iTrader: (1)

yes i know the bloke that owned it he did use to work at a1 but has left there now, not to sure on the history of the car but i did remember it had all the 500 parts on it

indycos

used to have a 8 injector set up too, but i dont think thats on it anymore

Bullett

iTrader: (2)

the bloke who owns it lives near me somewhere.he still maintains it a genuine 500! cunt.ok yes it has all the bits except the genuine 8 injector set up and some other bits but the guy has no idea

he should stick to his mk1 and 2's and not try and bullshit cossie owners

matt p

Was built by one of the mechanics at P.T.S who then moved on to A1, shame really evryone knocks it as it is a good 3dr just not a full 500

rsjp

99% sure that no rs500's had them on the log book.

Stephen_B

You are right 500's were just ford motorsport built bodge jobs just kidding

They still just have cosworth on the logbook though

ross_x

The car is not a genuine RS500. I know somone that knows the current owner. He trades Fords and cossies. Is a very nice car though but like indy says basically a kit car that someone lost alot of money on that thought it was a genuine 500.

RS500s didnt have RS500 on the logbook, they just have Sierra RS Cosworth.

Ginge !

as in people go on about not original ect then buy a mint 3 door thats been restored that was actually a shell with a saph swopped over onto it,,, so another kit car rather than a "genuine" car,,,,,, hope that explains better

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

i think i get it.

Ginge !

yeah,,,, like black 3 doors with blow headgaskets ect

the dodgy looking cars that look mint you see for sale round liverpool way

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

Ginge !

should be,,,, all cars in liverpool have a respray when they change the id of em,,,,, its prob a skoda on the log book

im impressed with what autoglym polish can do it has to be said,,,, wonder if they also make stuff to polish the missus up with and make her look mint ???

must ask em next time i order some

rsjp

jp

Nick.

Thats what I thought.. recognised the number plate from a while back on here

boXXer

was around this way last year in the maidenhead area, and a Guy called Jordan owned it for a while. I got some vids here of it being ragged up @ Reading cruise. Was a nice car when he had it.

revived this thread due to an apology oweing to dave the gent who owns this car at the moment.
in my post above i was out of order to him in respect to being out of line due to going by facts that someone i know that knows him giving me the wrong info.
i have another mate who has since met dave and delt with him a feew times.the mention of k500 cos came up and my mate mentioned it to me.not once did dave say to him that this car was a 500 at all. yes it has been built from a 3dr and it HAS been built from 500 parts.it is on a swedish plenum but he also has the 8 injector rail if someone did want it.
i have since been to see the car and tbh with a good clean up paint work wise(ie a good wash and polish)it will come up clean again.the interior is very nice too and it is n the cloth rather than leather,and its on a set of 3dr rims now rather than those azev's.the log book does say cosworth 500 but thats just how its been registered.my 205 was registered as an mi-16 and they didnt make one of them.

short of it is. i was wrong to slate dave in the way i did going by hearsay without actually hearing it from his mouth.he is actually a nice bloke tbh

sorry dave

im sure that used to turn up to ace cafe about 2 years ago!!!! owner was trying to pass it of as a RS500, even in the for sale adds. was a massive thread about is it, isn't it!

looked nice though

PSL

Just talking out loud here, but how does the car get away with having a K registration?


I thought you couldn't put a plate on a car that made it look younger than it actually was?

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

The only 500 parts this car ever had was the rear spoilers / front bumper / T4 / and 8 inj ,, the other 98% that makes a 500 has never been fitted .

This still looks well and went well so is still a good car to own , just dont pay 500 money for it , lol,

Lambchop

iTrader: (1)

you cant...

this will have been done legitimately from (probably) all new parts etc. then just a case of registering it so i guess this was done in 93 and hence a k

never seen Y2KRS? brand new build 3 door cossie in 2000 think it got broken tho lol

COMEDY DAN

It belonged to Jason who at the time was working for Steve Scott, the car was an animal nd a very good finish.

Personally I would buy an E reg for it from the DVLA then you would be halfway there.

It was built from new parts in 1996 hence the K reg, I have been out in this car many times, a very good buy if its up for the right money.

Lambchop

iTrader: (1)

96 doesnt = k plate??

so i guess he just chose that for the best plate to fit

tabetha

I wouldn't pay 500 money for a genuine 500, stupidly overpriced, but up to other people what they are prepared to pay for them.

In reality its a replica aint it. Im sure it will be a good buy for someone

Kam B

The guy who got conned and fooled it was a real RS500 lived near me..PX'd his nice saff and a lot on money for this 3dr replica..even i told him it wernt a real rs500 as it couldnt be but he didnt beleive me

Bullett

iTrader: (2)

this isnt a tread for slating it.its actually a good car tbh but like i said the gent who has it now isnt saying its a 500. lots of good bits on the car to be fair.

brought it up to apologise as i thought it was only right.i was given the wrong info by someone else in te first place.
