After a mint big spec saph 2wd been looking for a while now anyone want to sell up or know of any for sale I'm struggling to find one been looking for months now so have a nice budget aswell

FOUND A CAR NO LONGER LOOKING

 

Bump

 

Still on the hunt

 

How big is the Spec you want. The fastest of them all is for sale if you have the budget. Offers around 33k a fraction of build cost.

 

Mate yours is the one to have ill give you my m5 advertised on here and a bundle of cash on top

 

Still looking got 2 to view the week end

 

Somebody must be selling a nice one have money ready to go

 

I think I've found one

 

No still looking

 

Finding good ones is hard enough never mind big spec ones I would like to be in your position of wasting time and money but you will and wish you luck

 

Not a waste of Time is it ?? There are nice ones about its just tempting people to part with them

 

Trying to find one for a mate and I wouldnt believe how many rusty shitters are forsale atm for shocking money , it seems if its got a cosworth badge on it its 10 grands worth lol its a bloody minefield out there

 

The problem is a 550bhp Cosworth properly sorted will have cost 25k + to build & the next owner wants to pay 8k. Hence why they are not sold. Its even worse for a car like mine a sorted 1000bhp car will cost 65k+ as a minimum.

 

I know what you mean mate you never get the money you spend back on them but that's the way it goes I'm looking for a 450 bhp ish car with Ap's nice wheels just a tidy example really and if it's low mileage that's a bounus

 

I was in the same boat 6 months ago mate, they literally just rarely come up!
In the end by a bit of luck I got hold of a reasonably tidy one with a good spec for the money I paid.
Now I can throw a bit of money at it too��
Good luck!

Cheers Paul

 

If I can't find a saph I would consider a cossie powered focus

 

Have a budget of 17k for the right car if that tempts anyone

 

something will pop up mate ,its all about patience lol

 

Been looking for about 6 months

 

thats seems a long time mate

 

Craig Hayter is selling a 500bhp one, looking for 10k for it?

 

It's 4x4 bud i want a man's car 2wd

 

twice that will get you 1000bhp . You will get a Top Spec car for that im sure.

 

Couldn't do it mate even if I sold my m5 aswell I couldn't pay 34k for a saph ....could buy a gtr for that

 

17k should buy you 2 nice saffs lol



if only mine was closer to being finished,if your still looking in 5 years time mine should be available mate

 

But you could not buy the fastest GTR in the world for that .


Of course people wont pay that money for a Saff its crazy but so is the car.
In reality its not for sale still have unfinished business .


You have more than enough to buy a Top top car that's more practical than mine.

 

You seen the thread on here titled 500bhp saff? The ebony saff 4x4. Going by the owners Facebook that's for sale he states 10 grand! Not sure on spec but looks very clean has ap's and would be easy to make rwd!

 

didn't think it had Ap's ??
Spoke to the owner already mileage is 98k and not to sure on black

 

Just looked at the pics again your right it don't! He has so many lol

 

You'll find one mate, that a good budget you've got!
I thought about the focus cossie powered route too!

Cheers Paul

 

I saw that black cossie powered focus rs off here or rsoc with the comp th'2 that's what give me the idea looked superb

 

Bump

 

Half the problem is people spend loads on tuning and forget about bodywork, most unless they had treatment in the early days will have rust in place you cant see and just gets worse.

I'm doing a complete resto on mine and knew there was some rust but when I took the rear beam off the chassis mount areas had started to collapse!!! Have now repair it and other areas and will be getting the whole underneath blasted and painted then the whole car.
When I bought it looked mint but over the years rust has come through and a lot of the places were where some one had a full respray and rust hadn't been sorted and kept going under the nice paintwork.
Got a long way to go but once it's done will be a clean example worth the money!!
If you keep finding good 4x4 ones have you not thought bout converting it to rwd?! With your budget you should easily have the spare cash to get all the parts?!!

 

I've viewed a couple of cars and both had bits of rust bubbling threw ideally im after a mint fully restored one but might be waiting forever
Might have to look at other cars because I don't really want to convert one to 2wd

 

Still wanted I must be so none selling up soon

 

I think If you convert a 4x4 to 2wd it will knacker its value plus you will need to convert everything over to make it drive right

 

No longer needed found me a stunning car
