Found this on ebay.

RS500??

no 8 injector plenum
No T4 Turbo
Wrong turbo damper
Wrong intercooler
Wrong thermostat

Certainly not an RS500 engine, I doubt very much the rest of the car.

Also how is it a K plate???

Some very early D plates then all E plate weren't they?

Adam-M

You've got to be brave to part your hard end with that

steppy

theres only 3 reasons i can think that its a k plate either left unregistered until 1992, built from parts and registered in 1992 or exported and came back into the country in 1992 and dvla cocked up designating it with a k plate, it used to happen alot

It used to be around years ago, remember the fast ford feature, it was built from a new shell, they even reffered to it as an rs500 in the mag feature, guy who worked for a1 rallysport built it im sure, had some nice bits back then which have all gone now by the looks.

gcfcos

Looks like every single decent part has been stripped off it including the rs500 bumpers and spoiler and a load of crap bolted back onto. Mind u at £5000 with a running and driving car, if it's true it has no rust then it's a seriously cheap way into 3 door Cossie ownership.

Ye think I remember seeing that in the mag.

furry

sold already, damm missed out on that one!!

cossie_dave

I doubt you've missed out , rather saved your the money, It's not a genuine car full stop.

cossie_dave

All RS500 were registered in 1987 so could not be registered a genuine RS500 in 1992
If it was built from Parts it couldn't be built into a genuine RS500 or even Cosworth
Ditto re export and on DVLA it isn't registered

Furthermore its a Cat C, worth only the sum of parts

gcfcos

Isn't it a private reg?

if that sold at 5k its a bargain, worth more than double that in parts


steve

steppy

bidding was on £10,300 before it was pulled but that means nowt

visa_broke

probably be back on in a couple of days once the bumpers/wing have had a quick spray over

3drRich

Google the reg, she's done the rounds. Nice to see another resurface even if it is a lemon.

furry

even at 5k it's a cheap rep or track car and worth 5k all day long

gjh

5k was a starting bid, its been pulled but it climbed a fair bit more.

Cos500

Piece of shit, all the 500 bits are gone probably replaced with fibreglass spoiler/bumper, doubt it was an original 500 unless registered late, not worth more than 5k but I guess anything that has barn written in the title will go for 20k

Cos500

Where? Body cat c, interior shit, engine if it runs £1500, running gear will be tired, reg plate no use and I doubt any genuine 500 parts are on it, strip it crush it done

Adam-M

It's back on eBay

Not quite true, there is at least one known, never unregistered RS500

jaiscossie

Fook me thats gone downhill a tad ! Used to be a nice car many years ago

5hane

My friend owned this and sold it the current owner thats selling it, 500 parts wise the front bumper and lower spoiler are both genuine. My friend bought it as a shell and collected most of the parts together, the original builder built it in 92 from a new shell

3drRich

Hello James long time mate hope your well. I nearly bought a white e plate one not so long ago but I have lost the love mate and really can't justify the money they are fetching.

I've decided on a supercharged Monaro and am on the hunt for one at the minute.

Any progress on your projects???

i m sure a supercharged monaro is a fine car ,but you will be back in a cossie before long i bet

gjh

Number 500 I take it?

you have no idea of current value of sierra spares, and Cosworth parts in particular
1500 for an engine you say, show me an advert for a running engine for that price and Ill buy it!
price up a T5 gearbox while your there, sell it cheap for 500 quid


Steve

Cos500

I have every idea what Sierra parts are worth, I've owned various cosworths since 98, I also know what people charge for the parts which is not what they are worth, it's not like the engine will have a fresh crank and head, it will be tired most likely with a 205 non rs500 block

visa_broke

but at the end of they day they might not be "worth" that in your eyes but people will still buy them at that price and use them. 1500 for an engine is better than some of the prices i've seen them sell for.

All depends if someone wants something they can drop in and use straight away or if someone wants it for a spare to refresh or rebuild. Judging by most of the threads on here at that price it would sell easily even as spares.

It's Czech Mate

Cos500, it seems from your posts you have some personal feelings about this car, you keep giving it a good slagging and not letting go?

Fil

this car has some mega google history!


and old history on here to, going to bunp a 9 year thread

No that one was used on the road for at least 18 months before it vanished.

The unregistered one is a white one, quite well known in fact, but I dont think its been seen at any shows in quite a while now

Adam-M

How would it get to shows just trailed there and back?

PAUL S

iTrader: (8)

Yep that was the case

Adam-M

If it was unregistered I'd be too scared to let it leave the garage lol

PAUL S

iTrader: (8)

Thats probably the case now.

steppy

now on a buy it now
