Saw Martins 500bhp + engine on e-bay last night, was selling for not much over three grand with only an hour left to go on the sale.


Did he sell it.......... Just out of interest.

martinrs500labatts

well i still got, and will proberly keep it as a spare,

it bid upto £3100 but e/bay can attrack a lot of time waisters just like any sort of addvertising ,

sold the plenum £1610

ecu £560

air to air £330

brakes / shell / ect ect wheels made 16k! plus

which means sold most parts for over 18k and still have the engine and turbo and some small bits,

perhaps i should have given it away

atleast the guy who has bought the car and a lot of bits has a 600 bhp engine on pectal t6 ect to drop straight in, he said it will be back on the road in two weeks


e/bay is an amazing thing, cost me £1.08p to addvertise the shell on there and had calls in 45 minates and had people trying to get me to end it early and put money in my bank in 2 hours


still got two more of these sierra left.

Guess the Three K Bid wasn't enough then .......

BTT

martinrs500labatts

yep,

this engine must be worth 5k off anyones dosh,

not to worried as i would have had to sell the car for 18/19k to shift it,

and this way its gone with the same cash and these nice spares left over,

Jim Green

Almost put a bid in myself, but I guessed that you would want more than what was offered so didn't bother.

Sounds a nice engine, but I'm too far down the road with my new one at the moment.

Hope someone buys it who apprecieates what it is though.

Matt

which sierra is this martin?

i so hope its the one with the carbon bonnet etc and not one of the 2 "proper" ones

i saw that... i also noticed that markblackrs500 was also bidding really well on all you items even though he only registered 2 days after you listed them

maybe in future you should ask for bidders with low or no feedback to contact you first

martinrs500labatts

yer got a nice one off them.

but keeping it as a spare,

new owner picked up the car tonight, and he was very happy,

looked very nice i even cleaned it for him,

sad to see it go, but atleast now i have some room for my new project,


there was no second chance offers done by me on e/bay they where skammers,

its a shame but you need you witts about you on e/bay now.

still not all bad sold 18k worth of stuff for under £10 and never had so much interest in bits before, onlt wish i had ten of everthing,

Tony Ryan

Whens the new car arrive then Martin ? Must be Mondeos in the air, im buying a load of bits tomorrow , wheels & tyres, struts , geometry and set up wheels etc...

martinrs500labatts

options still open tony,

got one in swizerland, but the only thing that puts me off is the distance,

the strange thing is the guy in swizerland bought it off the same guy i bought the labatts car off!!

and that was only about 50 miles from my house,



going to have a quick look round in the uk to see if i can get a prodive one hear, as there was a couple floating around,


tony,

did my ards last week, so is just a case of appliing for my race licence ready for next season,

is there an ex rydell mondeo super touring car doing your championship?

Tony Ryan

Steve Papworth used his ' 99 car last weekend, think it ate the engine tho! Ive located quite a good supply of late Prodrive bits over the last week not far away .
You should talk to steve really , he may help you make up your mind either way

Ryan

tony keep your eyes and ears open for an engine

you know what im after

seeing as your a man with all his fingers in pies

martinrs500labatts

hi tony,

p/m me steve contact as that sound sensable.

Tony Ryan

Ryan , wish there was a sucking my finger smiley ! But of course i'll keep an eye open mate.


Martin , Steves number is at A1 gearboxes , think i sent it before ? I'll have a look for it but a Google should do it mate .

martinrs500labatts

Ryan

cheers tony.

martin, maybe you could leave that sandwich plate on the engine and i'll take the lot
