Default RS500 shell on the bay...........

Why would this end up like this

ID put onto a mint Moonstone 3 door

Or onto a stolen RS500

Why would you remove the ID of a perfectly straight RS500 shell ?

Sounds like balls to me, it's probably not even a cossie shell

Q: When you say all ID removed, has the stamped VIN number next to the driver's seat also been cut out ? Thanks PB 16-Jul-07
A: yes it has
Now please tell me a legitimate reason why this would be done?

Gen 500 shell

People think they could sell dog shit if they list it as rs500

A 500 shell is the same as any other 3 door shell anyway , the only thing that makes it a 500 shell is its chassie number , so without ID how can it be a 500 shell ,,,,,,,,,fookin tossers

Without the ID, its just a sierra shell, its the ID that makes it a RS500 one.

so even if it WAS an rs500 shell, its not anymore, simple as that.


But blatantly it never was!

No chance of that
i thought some cars were registered with private plates from new (by owners choice) were all 500's registered before sale?

if thats the case then no chance of a private plate from new

if you need to know it was a rs500 that was smashed then reshelled , this was the wright off 500 shell, now repaired and sporting the rear boot floor and main floor from a 1.6l ,the work was done many years ago in weston-supper-mare.
so dont worry the orignal id went back on the real car! but we can say that it was a 500 shell . well most of it any way !
