Seen this earlier in..wonder what price is going to sell gor

Looks like it will need a shed load of parts to put it back to 100% plus trying to find a rs500 engine will be hard and it won't be original engine number. However I don't know if it will matter too much to most people.

stu20004x4

Probably go for over 20

I will keep an eye on this.

I find it funny that too look at it without the kit on you wouldn't think it could be a 40k upwards car lol.

3drRich

I bet his inbox has been going nuts since he listed it. Would be interesting to see what it goes for and also if it's one of the missing 500s

That could do 50k if it gets in a bidding war, the engine and gearbox are relatively cheap (for a non rs500 block) to obtain considering the value of the car
it does all depend exactly what else is missing though

Well the best person for this is Paul Linfoot if it is a genuine moonstone 500.
He will have all the parts if not the contacts to get them.

Or someone who has a moonstone 2dr with all the 500 bits that could be a win win situation for the right price.

The Youth.

iTrader: (1)

he says in the advert only the engine and box are missing so I presume all the bumpers and spoilers are there.
how many other moonstone 500 projects are there out there available?
That's what will dictate the price

Burtons sell the 500 blocks. In fact for around 14k you can buy a complete engine all brand new.

Zetec_mk4_XR3i

Was gonna ask if t had been confirmed as a genuine 500 but appears the paperwork is there to back it up

Would be good to know if it's one of the missing moonstones on Paul's books.

Think it will do good money though, shell looks tidy apart from the ding in quarter

STeve

iTrader: (11)

rest assured if its the real thing Paul L will know all about it

jameswrx

You'd think they'd make a bit more effort with the pics if it's "all there except engine and box"

I suspect it may well not be all there.. I may be wrong, but 15 years and car in pieces.. Guess it depends whether he got it complete.

Loomer

Can't imagen it's a missing one with the RSOC stuff in the pic

Vincereese

Not original shell ,no vin , no floor numbers , no front bumper , no loom ,no ecu , no box , no engine so I'd say the only thing original is the logbook

The Youth.

iTrader: (1)

ouch!!

was you in contact Vince?

visa_broke

be interesting to see what happens with this one, if its missing the above then ouch! to whoever wins

costina

iTrader: (1)

Shame.

Vincereese

Yes my friend was intrested in it untill he found out not original shell ,no numbers no vin shell was originally black , no front bumper ,etc etc etc etc just logbook is original , shame

The Enigma

So the shell was originally black but the logbook is from a moonstone 500?

The Youth.

iTrader: (1)

no I would guess the logbook is from a black one, I did notice on all the paperwork he had covered up anything relating to the reg or chassis number


steve

3drRich

What a cock. Why don't these messers say all this when they list these things. No wonder he hasn't replied to half my questions as he probably thought if he did I wouldn't be interested.

burnzy

You should report him to eBay, he's conning people with his advert.

JasonPD

On eBay, sounds dodgy, Shirley not..

RickoG66

Anyone who bids that amount of money on an advert as vague as that needs there head read imo.
I mean what are you actually buying ? is it genuine, whats the reg so u can do your homework & find out is history ie what build number owners etc is it hpi clear, what exactly is needed to complete the car, the list goes on

The Enigma

I totally agree but the people bidding might have made contact with the seller? It is a very poor advert though.

Vincereese

If they made contact or not how much is a rs500 logbook worth

Vincereese

Cause ,interior ,a 3 door shell ,spoiler ,back bumper is only a few grand

Adam-M

Just typical with cosworths the scene is dodgy as fuck

Eigdoog

So what would it be worth as is but was just a missing 500?

Vincereese

It's not one of the missing 500

Eigdoog

I mean what would it be worth IF it was one of the missing ones? Just as it is but had everything to back it up.

Vincereese

Wouldn't know

Just looking at the pictures in his add on ebay of the rs 500.see it has no hole in the driver's side rear quarter panel for the electric aerial.bit funny that.

the aerials on the roof above the screen

Why has my thread been changed to dodgy rs500 on eBay as my original thread just said rs500 eBay. Can it be changed back please.

visa_broke

I wondered that as well, or if someone had started another thread. It was only when I opened the thread I found it was the same one and thought you might have changed it?

with regards to the car. Its a proper piss poor advert, and dodgy as hell. Did he even say what front bumper is in the pictures? with no id/vin has it ever been on the road legally? I can see this being relisted a few times

stevenr

Expensive logbook for someone

cossynut2

Unfortunately someone else trying to jump on the----" anything remotely to do with an RS500 is going to make me shit loads of money" syndrome!
