Unhappy Immaculate K Plate Cos Open To Offers.

Selling As Spares Or Repair ? as i don't know what's wrong with it ! Basically Had It Rolling Roaded 2 Weeks Ago And Went For The Mot Who Said It Was Running Too Rich, Had It Adjusted To Pass Emissions And Got 13 Months Mot But The Car Was Running A Bit Crap, So Had The Mixture Etc Turned Up And The Car Was Running Normal Again, Went To Get It Re Rolling Roaded And After Several Runs The R/r Had To Be Terminated As The Car At High Revs Was Making A Tapping Type Noise ? I got the car recovered and at low revs/tickover it's not making any noise. I can't afford to get it looked at or repaired as i've spent over £7k on it in 3 months and have had enough.
If you know what you're doing or someone in the trade it could be a cheap fix ? rebuild ? or if you've got an engine ready could save time and money.
I am open to sensible offers on the car which is immaculate, please don't mess me about if you're not interested as i have had a very bad day !
Viewing/inspections etc are welcome and i'm in west london.
the car is immaculate and needs to be viewed to be appreciated, here are some details i will add more as and when.

1993 K Plate Face Lift Model With Colour Coded Tip On Rear Spoiler.
Recent Respray.
77k Fsh.
Just Had Full Service And Cambelt + All Belts Done At The Same Time.
Group A Head Gasket.
New Clutch.
13 months Mot & Tax until dec.
Mint Cloth Facelift Interior.
Mint Original Arches With No Rust Which Is Unusal For A Saff !.
Stg 3 With Cone & Dump Valve.
New Full S/s Mongoose With 4" Tail Pipe.
Rolling Road Tuned At Torque Of The Devil Made Just Over 300 Bhp @ The Wheels.
£700 Clifford.
New Tyres.
1 front gator change.
new braded fuel line.
waxoiled.
Mint Underneath.
(will not be sold with strut braces.)
There Is More But I Need To Go Through All The Paperwork.
Bad Point, Cat D On Hpi Due To Light Rear Damage (which I Have Photos Of.)
Looking For offers Or Maybe Interested In A Deal With A tidy 90spec S2 and cash my way.

The car is too good to break and could be a cheap fix for the right person, you can contact me on 07939-022271, will accept sensible offers, if you require any more pics info contact me.

A car not running right and on the register?? Can you not afford to fix it?? IMO the car isnt worth a great deal in the current state, so if i was you, id sort it! especially with what youve spent.

The car looks stunning and you need to keep going! take it to a specialist to see what they say?

I think sometimes you have to draw the line somewhere and stop otherwise you just keep spending, tbh i have had enough, get it rebuilt then what's next ?. This is my 6th RS and i'd hate to sit and add up what i've spent over the years.

Question

Had a few people pm asking if it starts and drives, it does, the noise is coming on at high revs. Tbh if anyone is genuinley interested it's best to come and view/listen to it in person.

Cheers mate, yeah that's what i've started at ONO, I appreciate i'm not going to get that but it's a marker. So far had 28 pm's asking how much ! and 1 definite £3.5k and a provisional £4k pending viewing tomorrow, (that's what i'm looking at if someone wants to match it.) hope this clears thing up. The car needs to be viewed to be appreciated as it's much better than the photos

is a very clean car and the cat d was not even bad! was still a straight car and driveable before it was repaired, couldnt even see any damage unless you looked close. mr 007RS is a fussy one, and likes things to be perfect, so rest assured, this is not a pile of scrap

Looks gorgeous, faulty engine or not, its certainly worth 4k! Worst comes to worst, get another lump/remove and rebuild, you have yourself a mint cosworth.

You could probs pick up a rebuilt lump for a 1.5k, a weekends worth or work and your laughing. Understandable if the owner is getting fed up of spending money and fucking about with them tho, we all get to that stage. But for someone, there is a great opportunity waiting here.

Good luck
