well put the last few bits on and now the cars finished,

its all been worth it, even the six month wait to get the car from japan,

i was getting worried when it was 3 months late, especally when i had allready paid for it in full.

 

Not jealous at all

 

Laaavely!

 

Droooooooooooooooooooool

 

the keen eyed spotters will have noticed i have changed the from motorcraft graphics since the other day as they where slightley to big,

and so did not mach the originalls close enough, also the sponcer graphics along the bottom of the doors have all been changed as the garrett was not right and one side was not in the correct order,

so now nobody should find any more faults with it!

 

Martin if finds fault

TWO WORDS

FUCK YOU

 

fooking amazing mate

 

How many 500"s do you want ( Greedy bugger ) I"m only jellus

 

Im dead jelous, and i dont get jelous of nobody, a fookin real texaco RS500, and in precfect nick too

 

Top class as always

 

 

Martin how long you had the the blkue RS500 road going car

 

only wanted one,

its just the way things pan out,

the labatts one was a luckey find at the right time,

the eggenburger one was bought at a resonable price needing lots of work and an eye for the finished car, as most people who saw the add culd have bought it, same as i did,

just most peeps would not pay for it in full and then wait six months for it to turn up at the docks,

i took a chance and bought it from some phots, for spares money so knew i could not lose as if it was to bad to restor i could have broken it,




i even replaced one of the texaco stars on the tailgate as it was 1" to close to the side and showed if you looked closeley,

my veiw is if you can do it right then do it!

 

You ever done the hants ot wtf they calling themsleves today meet in your blur rs500 as sure I have seen it in the flesh about 3 yeras or 4 years ago

 

I bet that Eggenberger car is worth a fair whack more now than when you bought it!

 

 

the moonstone 500 , i got about 3.5 years ago,

and have spent a few bit getting it like it is today,

also the old owner spent a few pennys on it,

 

yes been a couple of times,

 

I thought so

 

Stunning Martin when is it's first outing then

 

as to its value who knows!

i think its safe to say its worth a little more than it owes me,

the one for sale in germany is 75000 euros which is about 55k or there abouts,

there special bits of kit and everwhere you look there little trick bits which make ruedys cars stand out,

245k to build new in 1987 is the the figure banded about,

where as the rouse car was 165k to build, but still showed the eggenburrger team how to race on more than one ocassion,


a lot of it was that ruedy did more long distance events and only had to beat the bmw m3 so never needed as much power as rouse who had a hole gagale of sierra behind him trying to get past,

 

first outing for the eggenburger car is tomorow!!

 

Is that the twists & turn of Castle Combe Martin

 

well its on the trailer, and thats the only show tomorow,

as its ready thought it would be nice to get it out of the garage,

 

stunning as ever,, well done mate

 

Are you in the parade lap Martin?

Be great to see her on track!!

 

dont know yet,

 

 

this might be a really daft question but why did it come form japan?

 

Something about it winning a race there and being bought and stored by the owner of Fuji, it's in the other thread.

 

Looks realy stunning m8.. So you got 3 tourwagens and the road version ?? Time to start a museum Martin. That's quit a herritage you got there.

And if you change the rims of the Texaco car with the Labatt's car, the golden versions of those rims. Don't ya think that will look even more meaner ?

Mutch respect for ya m8, one hell of a garage you got there

PS. You going to TOTB of Ford Fair ?

 

Wow just unbelievable if you ever want to do a North American tour I'll pay for time at Mosport!!

 

looks the business mate

 

nothing short of awesome martin

 

Fantastic m8

 

No jealosy here either Great looking motor, well done

 

 

gotta be one of the luckiest blokes on earth? looks awesome Respect

 

Martin

if you could only keep one of the three which would it be ( my guess is the Texaco car)

and which of the 3 cost you the most ( dont need to know actual figures just interested)

All 3 are stunning mate, you need to open your own musuem.

Is the Bristow thundersaloon car still for sale?

 

brilliant car is that texaco one but i much prefer the labatts one though, dunno why really now that really is the daddy imo, you own my all time favourite cossie of all time martin
