Nice find pete whats the plans for the car ? you just going to sell it on the way it is.
Iam no longer a trader on this site so Iam not allowed to say I just thought i would share this find to show there still is unmolested cars out there turning up,amazing what people have tucked away
nice , find, if you don't mind me asking how do you find about about these, presume it's your adverts or word of mouth from you being in the game 20 years..
bit like that barn find rs500 you found last year,what happened to that?

with over 20 years in the game you get well known plus adverts in the major mags i get offered quite a few
as to the 500 I found that know has been fully restored and sitting alongside the other five 500s in a personal collection
Pete that s1 wasnt a left hooker was it i sold my mint s1 with low miles to a young rs entusiast i heard he blew it up and never seen or heard of since that had similar miles on her (b6--bpp) similar era 5/7 years ago

no its RHD,the guy bought a brand new XR3i when he was 17 then 6 months later drove past his local Ford garage and saw this sat in the showroom so he went in and bought it
man i bet he was the dog gonads driving that around at such a young age
I,ll tell you what makes a nice find,...when we find out how much it cost...if he shelled out 10k on it for example, it wouldn,t be such a find now would it !

darren what makes it a nice find is the fact that their is some of these cars still sitting about in peoples garages unrestored ,the cost is irrelevant really,its the excitment of finding them
Thats your opinion James,in my opinion it would be a much nicer find if it was nice and cheap!
my opinion of "cheap" and your opinion of "cheap" will be a million miles away as I know the value of what I have found,
I think a mint uncracked 3 door cossie dash is worth a Ł1000 all day long BUT I guarantee you wont
Supply and demand guys, there aint many things like this left and if you want it then you pay what the market dictates, does it mean l would pay it? no but then it also doesnt mean it is not worth it.
I know where there is/was a 15k miles series 2 sat in a garage, the bloke would not sell a few years back though
