Not out 2 cause any offence but just bought redline 2 see the feature on the reyland sierra and noticed it was for sale for 40k!
Now anybody who knows anything knows that for what it cost 2 build its cheep but do cars like this rearly sell!
Just thinking u would have 2 be fairly well of 2 buy a 40k car 2 use as a toy! And u would have 2 be a ford nut 2 buy a 40k sierra over a radical or a porka or any other fast newer track toy! i mean ive seen nice group a cossys up for 35k and not sell! So how many people r out there that fits that bill!
Hope there is no chance it will get broken as it rearly is a iconic car!


O and renton and lee loving the idear of two identical reyland coloured 20vt elises! And all the best with the sierra!

 

I think its more a case of "if you give me 40k for the car you can have it, if not ill keep it"

i.e. everything has a price, for sale or not for sale.

 

thats what i got from reading the feature aswell but i was just asking does any modded car 2 this spec and cost (not just the reyland sierra) ever get sold for anywere near there build cost or do the owners ither eventualy take a big loss on the car of break it?
Ive lost count of the amount of feature cars ive seen then seeing them vanish of the face of the earth!

 

I dare say if it was genuinely for sale it would be priced a bit more competitively.

You have a point that not many modified cosworths etc.. sell for that kind of money, purely because few people who have that kind of money want what is essentially an old ford.

The reyland sierra being the car that it is may be easier to move on at big money as its a bit more desirable to some people than any other sierra of the same spec though, i guess.

 

i don't think the owner needs the money,he has a fleet of fast cars already! so i'm sure hes not desperate to sell the car!

as for the price...like stated already,i think its a price the owner suggested he MAY accept for him to agree to part with the car.

Regarding your other point about the builder(of any hi spec cossie) trying to recoup thier costs in the sale price or do they just break them......i've seen more hi spec cossies being broken these days.....

 

what gets me is that people still buy 20k grp4 mk2 escort bare shells

ive even seen mk1 escorts go for near on 35k no bother

but when it comes to 600bhp 3dr cossies, saphs & escort cossies they get broken up

& 300+ bhp rs turbo's for 5 - 6k nobody wants to know

funny old world

 

its a genuinely insanely fast car, you wouldnt get 1/2 way close to the spec for 40k id imagine, but at the end of the day, the logbook says ford sierra, and the average human brain cant put 40k and ford sierra together i would recon it is actually worth it, but very much doubt it will sell/sell for that much.

main issue is it will always be "lees old car" or "the reyland sierra" which would piss me off big time.

also, 75% of the fun from cars like this is in the building, the driving it is just a bonus. in my eyes anyway.

all reasons why it probably wont go for that imo, regardless of the fact it is worth it. imo.

 

interesting!

this on the cards boys?

 

I've pretty much decided on getting an Audi Exige built by Ginger shouty motorsport.

He doesn't do a quite as good as job as Martoon at building stuff but GSM's Labour rates of £0.00 per hour are going to be alot less painful! :top

The engine will come from Mart though and I'm sure he will have alot of input as well, so if he is cool with me painting in his Livery then I will do

either that or a Caterham or an Atom.. can't decide. Whatever happens its going to be small, light, fast and enormous fun

 

Sounds like a weapon

 

Is the Sierra going to Bedford?

 

Yes mate.... trying to get Maria to drive it. So far no luck though!

 

make up your mind... or don't

 

LOL...


Anychance of a passenger ride this time please?!

 

Sure mate

 

Cheers Lee.

 

i think stu h has got the same idea

give him 8k 4 a 3i

 

PMSL who is GSM?
Shaun is ginger and had an exige is it him??

Have you been in/driven an atom? Its 1 car i'd love to own purely because its as close to the rush of a bike on 4 wheels that i can imagine! the acceleration must be immense

 

Chops yes and wicked fun!

 

which model?

the 300bhp supercharged one must be an absolute hoot! Thing is tho they arent cheap just to have sitting as a toy!
Surely they'd be reliable as fook tho as they are a honda engine and light as fook so not gonna eat tyres/brakes etc etc.

How quick on track do you reckon? Compared to the sierra etc.

 

Will be a shame to see the sierra go, only ever been in it for 10 mins or so at castle comb but what a 10 mins that was

 

i think you're missing the point. I dont think its really gonna go unless someone mega loaded lays down 40k

 

i would love an atom, but they are too pricey for me to have as a toy

looking at building one of these instead

back wheels need to be bigger diameter imo though

 

Go to the top of the class!

 

Lee,

is Sean coming to Bedford???

 

The small fact that i am stuck in a poxy BMW dealership all weekend doesnt help!!!

I still cant believe youre trying to get me to drive the bloody thing!! Youre mental!

 

Of course he wants you to drive it.........

He means to and from the circuit! This is "Arrive and Drive Manning" after all!

 

 

RichardPON - You're siggy

 

No mate. He has suddenly realised he is Ginger...

and is too ashamed to leave his house.

can't blame him really...

 

tut tut tut

 

shit what did i miss? nothing there now

 

cunt

 

At least you didn't say because he's a brummie... then I'd have to come and find you..

 

Cheeky Bastard, the labour rate is now £35 per hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am actually working away that weekend or I would have come to Bedford to kick all of your arses!!!!!!

Sean..

 

hi lee, i think you have made a good choice , sean and me well be busy this year and next .
did look good in the reyland colour


burt

 

i could go pet

burt

 

Ive seen motorsport prepped Sierras go for 30k, I'm sure the quality of the reyland some motorsport nutter in love with the BTCC days after seeing it in Autosport would buy it.

 

Hi Burt, I don't mind paying the £35 an hour as long as YOU are in charge and are properly supervising Shouty Ginger man
