Well, after 16 years of ownership, and getting the car to where I always wanted it......I'm now considering moving on to something else.

I've spent so much on this car (about 10k in the last couple of years alone..........), and had it in proffessional storage for ten years while I was working in the USA. But I'm now thinking about moving on. The car is insured for 12k.. and am considering putting her up for sale at 10k..... is this about the right price for her.......I know it seems alot, but there are very few left in this conditition with all the right modifications and not boy racerized.

stunning motor a credit to ya but i dont think ya goin to get the 10K ya want for it.

 

You haven't seen this car Daz.......

 

Ł7.5k on the engine and ancillaries alone, at the begining of this year and only 1,500 on the new engine.

Worth more in parts.....LOL

 

Can't view link as I'm not the owner lol

 

...just consider i bought rhys saff for 7800 and is mint..custom install sound system,custom leather/alacantra interior MAD engine (cost 7.5k on its own) built for 600bhp..all spec r..big brakes etc etc...maybe i got a bargain...i then bought another saff 2wd which owes me 4.5k..nowhere near the condition but fully usable with big brakes/coilovers/newly rebuilt engine 4x4 engine all alloy t34 etc etc etc.

Not many buyers like me though IMHO so 10 a bit steep...i just look at it that if things go wrong and i need to bail out i can easy break them and get all money back

 

Break it. Worth much much more in parts.

Sad to say that but it's true.

 

You've answered your own question unfortunately Jim .

What will you get next?

 

Jesus Christ!

 

Many have called me this..i dont know why...i am not the fucking messiah.

 

interesting..........

 

You're a very naughty boy

 

 

shame Jim, Lovely car...

 

NI!

 

wrong film chip thats holy grail

 

CHIP is that a joke name like bigus dickus

 

how much for the shell

 

Rhys's car was indeed an immaculate example and we both know each other from the shows.....but put it next to this one, and it won't take you long to see the difference......

Mike :.............This is next on the list....

 

do NOT break it,well not yet anyhow

 

Good choice

 

What insurance company did you insure it for Ł12k with ?

 

Another desertion to zeeee germans !!

Everytime i seen another post about gettin rid of the cossie, makes me
more determind to keep both of mine

Al......

 

It's insured through "InsureYourMotor.com" on a classic car policy. With an engineers report, and all receipts submitted.

Zee's Damned Germans......Lol.

 

DAMN RIGHT

My Ferrari will go before my 600bhp FORD Saff

i would love 1, so man too choose from, a ealy t plate with 80-100k for just 11grand

or 53 reg with 40k for like 22k

 

FPMSL

 

A peach fella

Hold out for what you want for it they are becoming very rare in this condition

 

Agreed, they just arent worth the pie nowadays, however, because so many cosworths break on a DAILY basis the market for second hand parts is phenominal.

Break sounds the best option mate.

 

Jim, i sold my Sapphire Cosworth, on PF, for Ł7500 cash, within 24hrs of advertising her. The fella knew what he wanted to buy, had the cash and has bought himself a fabulous reliable and fast car that i hope he will enjoy and look after if not improve.

Good cars are hard to find and enthusiaists are out there that wish to buy them already done up when they can find one, and yours is a seriously good car with a great NMS engine and power conversion. I would personally give selling her a try and see how you get on before you break her as it would be a shame to see her broken up for spares.

 

You should have done the deal with your mate when he was looking for a car like yours - would have saved all this hassle .

 

Jim i would keep it mate, i know better then anybody how hard it is to go away and leave you car in a garage so enjoy it for a while mate, youve worked fucking long and hard for it,


Oh and answer your pm's


Mike

 

STU : I think your right.....the average (No Disrespect) person wanting a cossie, dosen't realize how few very good ones are still left around (Very Few). This car needs to go to a good home, with someone who appreciates it's condition, because this one is very special. With all the right modifications (No boy racer stuff on this one). It was in professional storage (De Humidified) from 1994 - 2003 (Carlines of Horsham) and it is totally unmarked. I've done 31,000 miles since I bought the car in 1991.....!!!!! There are only a very few cars left in this condition.....so I'm not going to break it, and don't mind holding on for the right person. It might take a while, but if someone want's something very rare, very special, with all the right bits on it, then they won't find many (Maybe only a handful) like this one. This is a very special car.

MIKE : Ha Ha.....how true. I did consider it at the time, but at that time, mine had no engine in it.......It was at Karls.....

 

CAPTAIN MIKE : Sorry for not answering your pm...not been online for a while....Arghhh.

Give me a call any evening, always in apart from Friday/Saturday when I go out on the lash.

Jim

 

DONT DO IT JIM!!!!

Love your car and think you will miss big time if you sell, now your back just enjoy drive it and do the shows next year.

 

Jim pm me your mobile number it took ages to get a hold of you at home lol, you must have been out in that loverly car of yours enjoying it


Mike

 

If I said I haven't been thinking about getting an M3 lately I'd be lying.............just means the S1 would have to go................

 

MR S1 : Yep, it's a hard decision to move on, but I've been on the RS Scene for almost 25 years......!!!!! RS 2000 for 8 years, and this cossie for 16 years....so I've been around them, had great fun with them, but now it's time to move on.....I'm no youngster, but still play damned hard.
