sorry if a repost i just saw it

interesting that it uses the standard air box and not some massive bling cone effort.

 

Gimme Gimme Gimme

 

Standard airbox is better for cars running big boost.

 

Can i have it for nxt xmas pls.....

 

i want it

 

Looks tidy considering what it's been through, and how long ago!

 

Is this the one that was on that sierra programme on men and motors the other day? Looks like it, and if it is that one, its not original unfortunatly. I think they said it was owned by someone in japan before and was raced in different colours, then bought by someone over here who restored it back to how it was.

 

That car was owned by Martin Johnson who uses this website from time to time

He also owns the Labbatts car that i want to buy from him

 

Yes it was definalty the one on men and motors then. Nice collection. How much would that labatts one be worth then.

 

wonder what its worth.

 

Was for sale around Ł40k last time I saw it earlier in the year iirc.

 

so what power has that one got??could you put her on the road??or is it already on the road??

 

I don't think it's road legal as it's a genuine Touring Car.

 

Martins one was the real deal in the end, he went over to Germany and spoke to the head of eggenburg (spelling) hes confirm its genuine after all

 

thats is so nice!!

 

owed it for nearly five years

done some research and travelled to swizerland to meat rudi eggenberger (eggenberger motorsport)

me and a friend had lunch with him and had the factory tour

very little done there these days and its very quiet with only two full time mech working there now

in its peek he had 20 people plus!

with four ramps and two dyno rooms

with not useing the car and having lots of other race cars

i was offered 50k for it so it was sold

the new owner collects and sells race cars has millions of pounds at his disposal and sells the for a good profit or stores them away as a future investment.






this was the highlight for me

organising the 500 touring cars for the RSOC

with me supplying three cars for drivers

tim harvey drove my labatts RS500 car ( his old btcc car)

rob gravett drove my ex rouse/moffat ANZ RS500

sean walker drove my eggenberger RS500 ETCC CAR

not to menchion all the others we managed to get there that great day.



this is still my best one

 

that pic is beautiful

 

this is a good one

 

Oh how i want that car

anyone want to buy all my cars

 

I saw someone's sig pic yesterday that had the labatts front brakes on fire..but can't find it now.
What was the score there ??

 

That was a normal sierra cosworth track car built to a high spec by a friend of mine who used the labatts livery on it

and it wasn't the brakes on fire

 

Aah..thanks.
Oil line fire?

 

I believe it was oil yes

Hopefully the guy who owns it has repaired it

 

paul heres a pic you would proberly not seen before

had it in my mates garage xsport racing a few months back for a good going over the mech bits

now back under its sheet





also got my GGR car finished and now sold to race in austaralia

 

id rather have a mint road car it would get used more that is unless i could get the race car mot,d lol

 

but i did and then i still only did under 500 miles most year


my old moonstone rs500








530 bhp and spec to mach

 

martin you do like owning history! love them all

what sort of cars has the current owner got?

 

yeh and that car how it is in them pics is my ultimate 500 by far

got any more nice pics of it

 

not many to hand

it was build 496




ap 330mm four pots back with ggr touring car beam and 7.52 gripper diff

ap RS200 hand brake calapers

ap 355 six pots front brakes

18" BBS centre lock wheels ( yes i was the first one!

stack dash

pectel moniter

GGR everthing under bonnet

with dynoed 530 bhp rs500 engine eight greens ect ect

trexmex six speed gearbox

carbon bonnet ( again first one made for me) 4 kiols

 

it was unreal that car i was after buying it quite a while ago but it had black comps on and a different motor i think basicly nothing like when you had it

 

yer shame realy when i sold it


i kept the engine and under bonnet stuff

sold the wheels to ryan/ hubs of here

sold the carbon bonnet and put the original back on


so it was never the same as when i had it.

 

So you sold it for 50k... and this guy basically trades them for profit..

so hes gonna want 55k + for it then

 

Very nice car..

I see that Red Brooklyn one in that pic above is sat in a Ford show room near Evesham.

 

What happend to the carbon bonnet Martin?

 

martin, what other race cars do you now own?
still got the merc?
James

 

no more like 75k

he has a porche on his site that was up for 75k he bought it and now its on his site for 120k

so he does mark them up a bit!

sold the merc

two ex btcc sierra
ex australian v8 supercar ford falcon
