says its the MD of turbo technics car, so should be a goodun ( ebay user name seems to back this up? )

Tho even then , theres still the good old insurance fraud, registered still as a 2.3

wonder was the reserve is, and how long the engine stays in the car if someone wins it!

 

i made them an offer on it.waitimg to hear back

 

I like that - very under stated and quite a weapon

 

Cool.Not the nicest of looking cars though.I dont know what ford was thinkin when they built these.

 

kool, would the engine stay in it? or end up in a sierra

 

Never been on the rollers?
When it was at a show a few years back it had a rolling roaded 500 brake bit of paper in the windscreen

 

True definition of a sleeper: find the biggest pile of shit car you can, keep the exterior completely standard and have a crazy engine!

 

true and I don't know what siemens was thinkin when they built this weak cable insulations. Not forgetting this weak chain tensioners till 97.
The Scorpio I pre-facelift was solid in every department.

btw wicked sleeper, it will surprise some people on the road.

 

they knocked back my first offer and havent replied to second.

i fancied the idea of running it till winter,then weighing the ugly bastard in and finding a clean 1.6l pre 90 hatch mk2 sierra

but i think its had alot of intrest

 

I was tempted to buy one of those myself at one stage, mainly as it would be more aerodynamic than my car. But then realised they were an even bigger pile of shit than what I already had ! lol

 

what sort of price would that be valued at roughly ?

 

For parts or as a complete car ?

I'd struggle to value the car itself at more than £1500 considering what you can buy for such money.

As a twin turbo novelty it may carry more value or less. To break for parts....still no huge value.

As others suggested, it may have more value to someone looking for a twin turbo engine setup for another project.

 

i would not change a thing in that i would just go maccy d's and upset the chavs lol

 

it be great for stuff like that

i offered 2k then 2.5k

im not intrested more than that as car worth nothing and to be fair engine not worth silly money

 

so hideous that it's beautiful. not worth a lot though, they sound stupid to turn down an offer of £2.5k

 

id have thought £2k was good money aswell, really suprised they turned down £2.5k.

 

2.5k is seriously too much money for that.

 

I like the fact it looks so dowdy an bog stranded but having a gross kerb weight of well under 1.5 tonnes and 300+ BHP it will move a lot faster than it looks! and it is an estate!

4 wheel drive too! Bonkers made me smile!

 

would most of the parts be direct swap into an old granada ?

 

front suspension is different but if you've got a 4wd estate it's a virtual bolt in replacement

 

I have seen a mk3 granada hatch with a bug eye front end, so surely you could bolt a granada front to this?

 

Love the idea of it but I personally wouldn't value it above £2500 top whack. You would be surprised what Granada enthusiasts are happy to pay for the right car though!

 

what show was that ?

 

Amusingly cool car. But they tuned down £2.5K!! That's going to sit around for sale for a long time if that's the case.

 

perhaps they turned down 2.5k because they have been offered alot more

 

May seem a lot for it but I bet the cost of the engine exceeds that amount easily. It seems to be a similar spec to the 3 door tt have, other than turbos and inlet, and this engine runs 600+hp, so potentially there's big power in that engine for not a lot of money.

 

I would like to plant that lump in a mk1 Capri

 

really it cant be worth much more can it tony ?
whats your thoughts on its value mate ?

 

Maybe tony has offered more ?

 

As with anything it is worth exactly what the buyer pays for it and not a penny more

 

lol good answer tone

id love it to build a mad classic ford with but it will no doubt make silly money.

 

I do have insider information hot off my direct TT Hot gossip line

 

going back a few years on it's first outing

i remember that everyone was on about the plenum not flowing enough air to make more than about 280 forced induction due to it being restrictive, and then geoff turns up in a 500 brake version, this car, and everyone was like "oh yeah, 500 brake easy in that spec"

it's a lot of car

 

spill tony lol

 

would the engine, box, diffs and suspension fit in a sierra then ?

 

with that spec it could just be the best tow car in the paddock (if only I could afford the fuel bill towing with 300+ bhp I'd bid for it).

Impossible to value, the fact its come direct from TT and is a one off conversion who knows, ebay auction will show what it was really worth. £3K to someone just for the fun of it? I think the fact it belongs to the MD of TT makes it quite desireable.

What is the alternative?
Mitsi gallant Legnum VR4 or Legacy GTB2?
How much are they these days?

 

2k already and still 6 days to go

 

I would say for the most part yes the running gear would be an easy swap


Yes, but that's ignoring the fact the Ford in this case is still a shit car. It will rust, and they have huge electrical issues. Wouldnt own a VR4 either...their tiptronics are very unreliable.

Legacy would be a good car, although the twin turbos can be troublesome.

But very much so, if someone did particularly want such a car then it would command a higher price. It is a niche market

 

Plus it's in Northampton points towards the fact it's owned by tt

 

I thought the fact the seller is called Turbo Technics was a big clue there too ?
