Pitty its got a wank engine in it

Still be ideal to have and swap over though

 

u know it makes sence to do that

 

innit!! I expect who ever buys it will do that!

 

Nice enginebay pic Cant tell fuck all from that as none of the bits are there

 

Great car!!

 

I am tempted

fooken hell I am

no one bid coonts

 

i was going to texaco mine until i seen that

 

lol


dont tar them all with the same brush.

 

My mate has won this car and is going to return it to cossie powered and 2wd, he has had his mate do some reserch on the car and he has told him it was built by Eggenberger and that it has raced at Bathurst.

Do you think this could be true and how can you find out?

What do you think Martin?

Coopers brought a nice car by the looks of it.....

bout time

 

Fooookin rude mate!

Seams to have some proper history too.

 

So this is the new Coop wagon he's been tellin me all about!

Gonna be nice when its done!

 

Alright Doug, yep Mr c`s new car, will be proper when its done, just hope this one aint gonna be another 4 years!!!

 

 

Lets see the pics of its underside then ! I have to say its my reckoning that all Eggenberger prepped cars were lhd , so i think its a bit unlikely mate ! Its the equivalent of finding A Picasso in the loft , doesn't happen ! so many cars were prepped for Production saloon car classes from the late 80's on , ther a re literally hundreds of caged 3 dr's out there that have been got at in one way or another .
Best of luck , on face value looks a good shell !

 

I Know what you are saying mate, i aint seen it yet but i said it would try and find out some history for him, if there is any.
I said to him surly it should be LHD he said on the left hand side of the car there are holes which look like where the pedel box could have been bolted, not sure about the underside but he did say it was all rose jointed.
I really carnt see it being a proper one but if it is he is one lucky foooker as he paid peanuts for it!!

 

Eggenberger shell Yeah

 

if it was

Iam not saying it is or is not iam just trying to find out some more details for a mate before he goes and rips it appart

 

With no id i dont see how you are ever going to know TBH

 

With no ID its prob a stolen cossie from back in the day like a lot of low budget circuit racer shells are.
Things dont usualy have no ID for nothing...

Shells like this are far from rare, the chances of it having any decent race history even if you could find it out are mega slim.

Just get the car, bin the engine (il bet its not really 3.1 either), and have some fun

 

Right been speaking to my mate again and the way his mate had been finding out a bit of history about it was off the numbers stammped on the plate inside the car, appently the plate says Eggenberger on it??????

Iam gonna try and get round there at the weekend and get some pics of it

 

might be a cap in yo ass Steve I spoke to the guy in town tonight too and by the sounds of it, it was left hand drive plus it has the eggenberger plate on the top of the dash iirc, cant see anyone going that far to d oa replica personally.



out of interest, would it be worth much if it really was genuine?? considering that I guess the only original parts are the shell, windows and cage etc?????????

 

I too thought it was probably a road car, nicked and turned into a racer back in the day. There are a lot of these about.

However......

I don't know much about cossies but i thought only the motorspoert shells came with out sunroofs? Apparently this one has no sunroof. Surely a good sign?

 

Not sure about RS 500`s mate, not sure if they all had sun roof or not?

 

Rally Sierra shells did indeed come with out a sunroof.

RS 500's did have them

 

All i will say is Hmmmmmmmm.

XR4i log books

 

XR4I`s have a 2 peice rear 1/4 light window, appently there is no sign of where the extra window bar has been removed!
