Just spotted on ebay

Certainly appears to be an XR3i shell to me but no mention in the ad - interesting ?

We buy any car have it listed as an RS Turbo, however, this worries me even more now though cos its probably a reshell into an XR3i shell (getting into ringer teritory as based on what i see its registered as an RS) its unlikley someone will paint round the windows to make it look like a 3i if it is an RS - dont really wanna waste on an HPI on something that now looks like a complete no go area.

Just spoke to ford they said it has had 22 owners and was Grey and colour was changed to white 28/05/10 and has had 4 owners in the last 2 years.
The parts bloke even said stay well clear LOL.

If you went to all the hassle of re shelling a mercury grey turbo, then at least paint the donner shell the right colour! then none of these questions would never need asked
or better still leave it registered as a 3i

This is the link to the ad from the previous owner
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=270610816590
Some interesting comments in there including
"This is to clarify an rs turbo and the v5 chassis number matches the chassis number under the carpet in the footwell and the only part thats not rs turbo is the drivers door which is an xr3i door the reason it is black round the windows is because the previous owner painted them like this."

As i have already stated i know this car and what has happened to it as the bloke that did it is quite a shady fella it has been re-shelled into a mk4 xr3i shell and had all the i.d tags changed from a rotten f plate mercury grey series 2 onto it so the shell is a genuine xr3i but everything else is rst

Its deffo a ringer. If that plate is registered to a Mercury Grey car which had a colour swap to white in May this year then that Engine bay and boot floor have taken a hammering since they were painted! That is an original white car for certain!

Plus it easy to change a floor number. Cut it out, weld it in then grind the welds down and blend it in with a flap wheel. Not that I'd ever do it BTW, but it wouldn't be difficult unfortunately.
