great....another rs500 molested by some wanna be tuner.....

wheres all the original stuff like airbox etc ?

thats not going to add to the value of this car and for sure a "tuned and modified" rs500 isnt worth that kinda money.

by the way, is this not on ebay for an eternity already ?

I'd rather have a good condition 3dr and actually have fun driving it rather than sitting on an "investment".

I seem to remember a member of this forum buying a RS500 with only 24k on the clock for Ł15k, and that one was original, no molesting of any kind.

Somehow I don't think this car is worth 30k.

the only people who would buy this is people who would sit on it an let the value rise, which it undoubtidly will at some point, if i had the loot to put it away an leave it i would, whoever buys this will prob have a collection of toys anyway

Was a stunning car when Jim carter owned it from brand new, he was so particular with it back then.As you said along the line of owners after that one of them blew it up big style and was fitted with a non original engine, hence why it hasnt sold i guess. Ray sold it a year or two back for alot less than that so someone is trying to make a tidy profit

i have the max power vid where jim is in it, i later found it that he doesnt live to far from me and the roads shown are local

him and his father said it was a road legal rep of the btcc car which it was. they were the family who had cosworths in their living rooms etc they must of owned around 6 at one point with his, as he puts it, 'family car' being a sedate looking sapphire with 400bhp which was the dogs back then. i knew the 3rd owner i think, narinder, who had it built by carwise then when he sold it he kept the engine. i saw it in the flesh at my mates garage
