I agree with fuzzy, But that RS1600i don't look to bad considering.

woolford 01-10-2009 05:06 PM

poor poor poor cars needing a loving owner to help them revive

AJC 01-10-2009 06:07 PM

Lee Reynolds 01-10-2009 06:16 PM

Id love that 16i, love to save that after all those years sat there :)

RSCossieGaz 01-10-2009 06:26 PM

RWD_cossie_wil 01-10-2009 06:31 PM

Only 2 posh xr3i's, the cost of repair would be stupid compared to the values (IMHO) ;-):poke:

kris-rs 01-10-2009 06:36 PM

Rs Baz 01-10-2009 08:51 PM

You need to get your head around maths first before things like that! In 96 that RSi will have been 13! :cry: ;)

wtf? are you mental? :?:think:

RST 01-10-2009 09:25 PM

You cant just claim them. you can apply for the logbook. but doesnt mean you own the vehicle. You have to have made every effort to track down the owner etc.. been trying to do the same with a mk2 escort van i have found. The last thing you would wanna do if fix it all up, then the owner to come and claim it back :cry:

coco16i 01-10-2009 09:27 PM

What a great find :clap:

16i certainly looks like its the better of the two and possibly worth saving.


You gonna find out who owns them then or whats the plans ???

mk3stevie 01-10-2009 10:08 PM

Why do I never come across these things??!!

dovboy 01-10-2009 10:40 PM

i know whare there is a lotus cortina in a barn too! point is tho (as is probably the case with those)no matter how much you would love to save them,the owner will not sell!

Rs Baz 01-10-2009 11:29 PM

right then are you waiting for the story

shall i put the rest of the pics up tonight ?????

i can tel you the rs 1600i is still like new inside yes wear to drivers seat and green floor that doesnt look good but to tel you the truth i think it could be worth doing, front panel bumper and lamps are well fooked, well for a matter of fact there isnt anything left of the bottom half of the bumper

now then pics and story guy's would you like to know ?????

Thats it then,lift the buggers !! :DD:
They have quite clearly been sat there (or somewhere outside) for a long time,I would do a bit of investigation work to see if you can take ownership.Even if they have to broken there is still a few quid in it.Nice if someone did a resto on one of them though.I love it when people come across thing like this.Good man for posting :top:

johnandhissaffy 02-10-2009 01:05 AM

nice find:king: do you want to have them you could break them and earn more money off them i know i just said a swear word but if ya do restore them fare play hope ya get them mate
