Seeing as it's not original I wouldn't think so, no. I know minters are £25k upwards though and that's anything but. Could make a nice car but not at £30k.

its funny how many old hot fords are turning up fromm abroad.

i have heard people are finding out if a certain car has been scrapped and then building one and then obtaining vin tags and saying look its so and so and reregistering it.

the kiss of death with that car in the link is saying its been reshelled,loads got reshelled bitd.
anyone going to ian harwoods,north manchester rs centre,yukspeed,yorkshire rally spares,wars,withers of winsford,sykespeed,etc saw broke rs's that got built into cars again or scrapped if they was shite.

depends what its been reshelled into.

theres loads of old group 4 rs1800's that have been reshelled into 1.1 mint 2dr shells. the one above in the link may be a genuine rs shell or it may be a hd standard shell with the top plates as standard and the rest of the bits fitted, if you had one in 77 and rolled or crunched it and got a new shell from fords it was still a rs1800.

when you go on the internet and shout out your cars been fooked and reshelled and then try for big money its like shooting yourself in the nackers imo
