If anyones remotely interested in a pretty mad sierra that's not in the best order then shout up and we can discuss something.
No haters please,

But here we are, and this cars no longer neeeded here as iv got 2 kids and a new gaf to play with.
I'll check back in in a week or so.
Peace-out

Sorry not to slate you at all. I appreciate you want to sell the car. But honestly I'd lose anything on the car related to that company and maybe let it on gumtree or as previously mentioned on eBay as it will find its price. Just don't mention the company.

Mate your mrs did the Maths because she believed all the money and time you have put into this car was all worth it and you would always see a good return. I think a few people would be interested in it at the right money between £1500-£2000. Sorry to sound negative. eBay is probably your best option classified ad with make best offer.

As said above, you need to Completely disassociate any involvement with the Builder and let it find it own Value on Ebay.
Or pull the Engine and sell it separately, again NOT saying were it was built

As most people have said, i think the price is too high. the only thing worth any large amount of money would be the engine, otherwise it's just a 5 door hatchback sierra with a bodykit that will only appeal to the younger generation... but they wouldn't be interested in a 20+ year old sierra hatch. Would have made this kind of money in the Max Power era, but it's simply not going to sell these days.
I would advise breaking it, many of the parts will make sensible money (see the cosworth parts for sale section for ideas), you could try to sell the shell on ebay, but i wouldn't imagine there would be much interest.
The engine is interesting, but with that much work/money put in to it, it should be making way more than 300bhp. :S
hope you manage to make some money back on it though, as it seems you have put a lot of time and effort into making something a bit different

Cheers MD. She was built to go against masive power turbo/ nitrous V8's in street eliminator. (Tax/mot/ pump gas +legal tyres drag series)
Plan was to use a smaller more lightweight car, V6 with twin chargers, use it for a season to try and get times down into the 9's and have fun in competition.
Following this we had a nitrous package and 4wd planned. The gulf tribute theme woul'dv fitted in nicely, but as you know, this all went completely t#ts-up due to the fu#@ing jokers over at TBPT.
Iv been out of the game for a while, and hav learned how to plan and build a good car,
But or now I'm stuck with this beast and no market for it to make any kind of return for the massive outlay.
Anyone remotely intrested should still get in touch,
There's always a deal to be made.
Cheers

Dash in this car is a heavy leather trimmed one that was left behind after I took all the mad interior out from wwn she was silver doing fordfair and other shows so obviously would need a standard stripped half-dash, or a carbon job, or even just switch panels.
Also, the wheels actualy on it now would neve be used in anger as they're imaculate newly refurbed 8x16 cossies and are needed for next project, (that won't be destined for track use)

Ok peeps.
Just if anyones intrested in how this threads going, (crashing/ burning)
Iv been offered a lifeline by my good friend hot-rod-joel, from the grove autobody here in manchester.
ihe thinks we can turn this car around, and put his own stamp on it with an investigation, rebuild, a visual makeover and breath new life into what he thinks is an overall good car with all the right notes, not neseseraly being played in the rigth order
So, iv said if I get no joy with this sale, he can consider the job his and we can figure out any profit at a later date.
In the mneantime, it is still for sale, so I never hav to hear about it ever again!
It seems obvious I will now hav to declare this open to offers,
But please, no pisstakers. I know its gone pear-shaped and don't need any smart arse jokes. (Don't get me wrong, I love the banter, and can take a joke, but this is just a headache now)
If anyone really knows they want to find out more about this car, or open a conversatin about it with the right kind of questions, (I.e, not; 'what's the lowest you'l take for her?')
Then please do get in touch, via msg, comment, email or txt/ phonecall
Like iv said, there's a deal there somewhere if somebodys got time for a tlc job on this beast
Cheers

I don't normally comment on for sale threads - but, with all due respect, you do need to be much more realistic if you plan to shift it. It's a Sierra with no T&T, no dash, and no wheels. It also has quite extreme bodystyling for a market that is famed for liking conservative OE external modifications. If I'm being brutally honest it's worth a fraction of the asking price - and it's not the Top Boss association that's holding it back.
Please, please don't spend any more money on it, as you will not recoup your costs!!! That's not how it works.

The days of people ringing you up,offering £5000 then ending up at £6/6500 are long gone,now what with eBay/distance selling etc people would rather say "yes ill pay that" or " no thanks,that's way out of my price range,I won't insult you".
Days of standing there bartering for 3 hours are well gone.

The title of this thread now states that this car is now priced at 3500 so if any other comments say otherwise then its ony coz iv not edited them cheeres
Hopefully this car might shift now, andif there is genuine intrest then the next potential owner can either say yes or no and then maybe be able to afford to giv this car the time effort and cash that it'll need to get it back up to standard.
I can't do much with it now as iv 2 brilliant kids and my time, effort and wonga is best spent with them
So do comment and get in touch if you or anyone you know may hav a real intrest or even just curious.
Also,
Many thanks to the people who have actualy helped this thread along the way,

i am half tempted by this but will need to be considerably lower than £3500 before i will come and view.
the add is very unclear as you say its supercharged and then say it isnt ?
so whats been altred to fit a supercharger etc, a better spec list and engine bay pics are needed asap.

No mate, its not supercharged as I thought I'd explained that here
The idiots behind this never came up with the twin supercharged engine as promoised, meanwhile installed a rather usefull n/a 24v and as iv also tried to explain here, the next owner may hav to investigate a little into what has been done spec-wise.
I never gt deep into the spec of this as it was only ever meant to be a temp unit
I'll look up my photobuket account after work tnite and try and get some bay pics transgfered.
Thanks for the intrest,
Judging by your avatar, and current car you may finfld this one a bit tame or lame,
But it is what it is, and as iv said, it worked out nowhere near as intended

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Youd be better off starting a new add put some detailed pictures and write up what the spec includes and dont confuse things by talking about what it should have had or what's getting taken off. Can't see it being worth more than £800 to £1k your advert is not helping you sell it.

You REALLY need to delete this thread mate and start a fresh.. sit down and spend some proper time putting together a well written advert and some proper pictures!

You are to some extent trying to sell a dream.
Allow what you actually have and just make an advert.
Its a sierra GT 4 door with a body kit, respray, 24v fitted and as far as i can tell, about that? its a none runner and has no Tax or test. You have nuts to think someone would have paid you £8,000 for it. Did you not look at what others are fetching first?
£3000 is better but still to much imo.

Sorry to say fella cut your losses if this car http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/vie...d=111073136336 which is a proper machine with its spec only just makes £3000 and look how much interest there's even a tread on here about it then you have absolutely no chance of getting more than 1k for this!

if i can get the car i will be looking for something to reshell the drivetrain into, this sierra would possibly be a good candidate but it would have to be as it is in the photos with wheels and everything and alot less than £3k, but none the less as i said earlier in the thread i could be interested at the right price.
