A mate of mine has just come into work quite exited. His mrs is an estate agent and an old woman has just died and she is selling her house. The family live away and just want it sold quick with no hassle and they don't want to get involved. His mrs went to the house to clear it out as her clothes were still there etc and the family aren't interested and she was taking photos of the house etc and showed Steve inside the garage and said I don't know what we can do with this though. Steve looked at the photo....






.....Red Mk2 RS2000 Escort

Bastard! He's ringing the family tonight to see if he can "dispose of the lady's old banger in the garage" Hopefully he can have it and I'm going to go pick it up for him. These cars are still out there!

 

lucky bastard if it all works out! lol!

 

fuck me !

Why dont I ever have luck like that.

BASTARDO !


Ben

 

belter thats goin to make him a few quid

 

Nice find!

 

I'd think it was a wind up if it was anyone other than Steve, but he's as honest as the day is long. Him and his brother have owned everything from MK1 twin cams to RS1600i's so he knows what it is unfortunately.

 

i was readin a fast ford earlier about a lad who won a tvr chimera for 50p and sold it and bought a fiesta st... such a epic fail... would of at least bought a minter rst or cossie!

 

Lol I've got that issue. Said he couldn't afford the insurance so bought an ST and made it 200BHP with a Cosworth inlet and cams etc. Something tell me the insurance didn't know that

 

lucky git keep us updated

 

pictures???

 

haha yes mate! aint even got a cosworth inlet but has forged pistons and rods! lol!

 

quality find

 

Sure his car is in the Resto section having a 2.3 duratec turbo put in.

 

maybe i'ts just a lada riva with an rs2000 nosecone lol
joking aside , what a find

 

result that is ,

why doesent he just rifle through the old ladys paperwork and find the v5 ?

change it over and hey presto " what rs 2000 " ??

 

watchin pawn stars this week. someone got a call to remove a car as the guy hadn't paid to storage on it. turned out to be a shelby cobra worth $60,000

 

no way lol. id love to come across a barn find

 

lucky Git ! Good luck to him if it all works out!

 

Lucky bugger, one of the guys in work emailed me pics of a barn in America full of rare old cars, if someone wants to pm me there email address I will email it over to them.

I aint got a clue on how to upload the pics or I would.

 

I hope its rotten so he doesn't want it. I can have it them

 

Lucky fucker.

 

This thread is useless without pics!

 

Lol I know, I wish I had some pics. I'll pester him when I see him next. He did drive past me earlier in his 60 Rangy Sport

 

any pics?

 

i....but if its garaged it shouldnt be too bad. the lucky fuck never know, the family might know its worth money and keep it

 

any more news or photos of this pal ???

 

???

 

pics would be good wish i could find stuff like this

 

It will be a knacked mk5 Escort I bet!

 

thought this was gonna be interesting

 

Years ago i worked on a farm and was asked to go and pick a old car up that was in a shed that was owned by a old guy that worked the pumping engine near the river, went there with my teleporter , opened the doors and inside was a Lotus Cortina,, it was taken away on a car trailer and never did know what happend to it.

 

thats what i was thinking, red, rotton arches and sills......maybe even a GTI

 

Sorry I've been away. I spoke to him Saturday and he said he hasn't been around as he works away but was planning to go this week and take a look. I hope something comes of it otherwise I'll look a prat

 

Sorry but asking " what you want done with the old banger" when its worth money seems "off" to me

same type of person who would sell on a shitter of a car with a bent MOT or burn there car out to claim on insurance

ok gaining a deal is one thing but openly scamming someone lacks morals,,,,, well to me anyway but im sure LOTS of people on here think its fair

anyway my comment over
