That RS1600 is a fucking wreck!!! I'd say it needs reshelling with the amount of rot there.

Because if somebody takes the time to restore it it will be worth 10 times that.

I messaged the seller and was going to go ahve a look at it but i have a wedding tomorrow and christening sunday and back to work monday so aint got the time. It reached 8.750 last time round and its advertised for 10k on pistonheads.

Imo i think he bidded it up to 8750 and the bids didnt go higher hence why it didnt go.

Car look well tidy but then again a good spray job can hide a lot especially on old motors like these.

the blue car has some shitty history from what i hear but how true that is i dont honestly know.the rs1600 is worth a fucking mint when minted up.if it gets reshelled it will be on the quite so as not to devalue it on resale as it wont be worth fuck all.
the shell on this one is fucking mint tho

The rs2000's mine the reason it's been relisted is not 1 person has been to see it the reasons it's never been seen round Blyth is it never leaves the garage but it was taxed today and has made an appearance at summer madness tonight and I'm sure anyone that was there will confirm the car is mint and constantly had a big crowd round it taking pictures, give it time and I'm sure this will be confirmed!! Also bidding 5.5k would maybe be able to by a bare shell no offence but come on.....
