A great find in a barn
I was asked by a local farmer if I would give his car a quick going over for a charity drive he was running.
He said to me he bought this car when it was 6 months old and has been sat in his barn for the last 10 years. When he told me what car it was I got quite excited for I always wanted one when I was younger and even now would be nice.
He also informed me that this car was the second lowest mileage RS500 in the UK, truly an amazing find and totally original condition , even the tyres were original except the side walls were perishing and ready for replacement.
Engine bay looking pretty dusty
To prevent mice and rats eating their way through the car the farmer even put rat poison under the bonnet.
There was lots more poison in the boot and interior it bloody smelled awful and made me feel sick..lol
Plenty of swirls
The PDG readings were considerably lower than a modern clearcoat finish but still plenty to give it a good buffing.
After a quick vac and wipe down the interior was like factory finish.
Recaro seats like new
Even the spare had never been used and like new
This stereo set up brings back memories all in perfect working order
Best of all check this out for low mileage WOW
