My near mint mercury grey s2 is up for sale as I can't even look at it. Last year had a full 2ltr zetec conversion done, engine had done about 40000 miles.

The interior is only let down by a small fag burn on drivers seat, the seats have been rebolsterd and feel great. I've painted the s1 wheels(not the best)same grey to see if they would suit! Bridge stones all round. Taxed for 4 months and mot till October . Needs a new heater matrix( I have one which will come with car) Brand new ap racing clutch, full s/s magnex exhaust , lowered 25mm. Chrome wiper motor cover, had the rocker cover powder coated to Match up with the custom made hoses that were made for the zetec convertion, Lockwood White dials,new clear front and side indicators,new kenwood stereo with iPod connection Sorry I'm not great at the tech stuff.

Sorry to say at end but don't comment if not interested pls. Cheers Wanting a focus st2/3

 

Id say you need a better write up and pictures mate. Only my opinion though

 

Ur right bud.

 

why cant you look at it?

 

Spent A lot of money on it last year with engine(un expected ) and just really pissed me off when it starts playing up, leaking etc.not used to all this hassle. Got a lot more joy and less stress from a 1972 mgb gt I sold to get this.

 

^^^ Funny, I had a 73 MGBGT and 81 Spitfire that I got rid of for my Series 2, that didnt give me as much aggro as the series 2.

So much for 'unreliable' British Leyland cars eh?

GLWS

 

If I could of got the kid seats in it I would still have it.

 

I tried to relive my youth by getting another RS. But after chucking 3 grand at it in six months, the bitch still dont want to play. Im putting it up for sale, so someone else can finish the 1% to make her a show stopper, and Im going back to Leyland.

 

Now on fleabay, probably going to get messed about but there.

 

No longer for sale as head gasket gone.

 

thats trouble with the old cars endless money pitt loved mine to bits but would never get another one

 

Not for sale for a while due to unexpected head gasket gone?!

 

Sorry to read this.

Hope you get it sorted. Just done mine, its fairly straight forward.

 

Thanks mate, karlos is on the case so will soon be sorted, pain in arse but these things set to try us.up for sale again in a couple of weeks for £4000Ono , stick to me mondeo a lot less hassle.

 

100 0/0 agree with you.

 

Price drop to £4000 Ono

 

Any one??

 

New battery and immobiliser fitted last year too!

 

Karlos g did the zetec conversion , what more of a recommendation do u need. great body and engine and best colour.

 

No rust , no lacquer peeling all it needs to make a1 is a couple of body kit rivets, the interior light wireing and if want a heater , the new heater matrix fitting. The head gasket will be done in the next couple of days and I'm sure Karl with will give it a once over before I get it back

 

Down to £3600ono.

 

Can't believe this haven't sold yet , such a lovely car glwts mate

 

Baffled

 

if i had the money id have this has the headgasket been sorted ?

 

Was thinking the same , come on people get this bought before I do and get kicked out the house by the misses for buying another car lol

 

Karlos will have it done by Saturday ( this)

 

glad its getting sorted are you still goin to get rid or keep it?

 

women will always moan about somethingget it brought. Mate lol

 

I've got it in my head that I want it gone, I know I shouldn't as I've spent a fortune.

 

If you don't need the money I say keep it mate , what ever you do don't give it away and regret it

 

keep it mate you will only regret it.

 

It's not the money, done less than 250 miles since engine build(£4k) and it's been one problem after another to sort. Il give it another week or so and if I don't do a swap or sell il keep.just feel downhearted after so much money and haven't really driven it.

 

The cars all done and ready for someone to enjoy.

 

You need some decent pictures posting up, get some close up detail pictures showing the condition of the car, if people think/know the cars mint they will travel to buy it, the ones you have on don't show how straight it is, how good the paintwork is, what the common rot spots are like, just my opinion

 

More pics



















Not long had the front bumper re sprayed , put a mint bonnet on from another mercury grey.

 

Last gasp on eBay , if it deosnt sell in the next 9 days il keep :/
