3 door Sierra Cosworth shell
Glasgow
View picture
A plate 1.6l 3 door Sierra rolling shell. Never been welded! Bodywork in amazing condition, no rust in any of the usual places, best example you will find! Ideal for rally car re-shell. Interior stripped out but otherwise drives. Has sunroof but not tilt and slide, could possibly deliver £800 ono

Uncle Henry

you serious?

I didnt realise cossies were only 1.6l and were made on an A reg

for £800 I'd want it hand delivered to me in Australia!!!!

Dragon

Depends how good it is really and what 'you' want to pay for it

£800 for a non-complete A reg 1.6 Sierra.. Let me think about that for a minute

Zetec Andy

Not.

SPADGE

These usually go as a running car for between £0 - £500 if its a minter

Cam

I bid on this car on eBay if its the red one. Shell is worth £800 with other bits if its that one.

SPADGE

What other bits Cam?

Uncle Henry

a genuine 3 dr cossie shell?

Mr RS500

Well i think 800 is ok ,,where the hell are you going to get a mint 3 door shell from these days for less
The rear glass and trims are worth £200 alone

SPADGE

The rear glass will be clear and not tinted Paul so worth fook all unless they are for a track car

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

I know that spadge but i still get good money for clear glass
Because you cant get proper glass anymore the american blokes will pay good money for clear

SPADGE

Lol i guess but wouldn't fancy the glass arriving in the states in one piece though

Cam

SD cage, Sparco seat/harness, 3dr clocks, Konis and it had tinted not clear glass. Well worth 800 sheets IMO

Thats the one

The Gravedigger

Glass looks clear...

I looked at this when i needed a shell,trouble is its always gona be a 1.6l .unless you are into a bit of ringing.
Looks like i got a bargain if he is wanting 800quid for it,.
You sure about the glass paul as i had mine taken out by National and they said they could get me a new bronze tinted screen??

That was what I was thinking Paul........I mean what would the following be worth - i.e. the true "market value":

Mint 3DR rolling shell, with dash and glass (no interior trim) £ ????

Mint RS500 rolling shell, with dash and glass (no interior trim) £ ????

(all WITH genuine ID/log book, and HPI clear).........

SPADGE

Glass looks clear to me as well and it would have come with that as standard!
Can't see a cage either unless it hasn't yet been fitted?
Doug for the above i would say 2k and 3.5k but the ID and it being a real cossie makes a huge difference!

that takes me back a few years - looks exactly the same as mine did !!

Ginge !

im more wondering what hes done with a standard 3 door sierra trim

its not the best interior in the world is it, ya get the jap car boys saying its crap

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

Mint 3 door rolling shell £3500, with all bumpers / kit etc

RS500, £8,000 With the correct ID tho again with kit/ bumpers / spoilers etc etc

Looking at Dougs piccy i think thats well worth the £800 , I know its not a gen cossie shell , but for somone like Chip that isnt bothered about a log book that will make a minty mint example , Or slam a big block V8 in there and what a proper sleeper

Thats what I thought Paul, when you compare it the the genuine Cossie bodyshell prices the £ 800 asking price is not too bad at all

Ok, maybe not a true bargain, but the "right" price nonetheless

Soooo, to all of you that posted (but not Paul or Spadge)

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

After all that Doug ,, are you gonna buy it or are you just tyre kicking

SPADGE

I suspect Doug is a tyre kicker of the highest order Paul

Disabled Account

Sort of tyre kicking in a fact finding/market research kind of way......

Zetec Andy

it usually does

SPADGE

I guess in the low spec cars you tend to own you have a point Manc

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

Lol @ Doug Love the posh way of saying ,,YES just kicking it

..................I know.......

Mr RS500

Get it doug and put the engine from that shabby old thing in your siggi into it Now that would be one crazy little car

Zetec Andy

Low spec? i know.

I have to make a bzzzzzzzz noise when sliding the sunroof back, makes it feel like a ghia then

Actually, there is a black 355 in Dorset that has a YB engine in - engine was built/fitted by Terry Hoyle (or might have been Terry Dury) Never seen the car, but was told that it goes VERY well

Mr RS500

Thats what we like cars with strange engine transplants ,,That will have ya thinking now Doug

Like anything else its worth what someone is prepared to pay for it, personally if i had the space to store it then i would buy it as a spare for mine, never know when its next going to end up bent!

One thing i will say to anyone wanting to do a cossie replica from a normal 3dr shell though is that the sunroof is an absolute whore of a job to swap over based on the amount of time it took Rich to cut the one out of my rs500 shell to put into my 1.6gl shell, you are talking 2-3 days work to do it, so if you are paying someone else to do it (thankfully im not!) then thats going to double the cost of this shell by the time its ready to be a cossie replica at the end of it.

Would make far more sense to start with a genuine cossie shell if you are spending big money on building up a car, as its going to be worth fook all at the end of it on a A reg logbook.

righthooker

i decided against a 1.6l shell for the log book reasons allthough there are enough people out there who would do a spot of cutting .
I found good condition shells for 300 to 500 quid,i managd to fine a genuine shell with all pannels for £1750,in unused mint condition .So i thought the extre grand was worth it.

I think it is cheeeeep for a mint shell.


Registration years mean nothing in my eyes. Who are you trying to make happy? People who look at it and say "its not a cossie" or yourself when you go flying past the cossies

Uncle Henry

maybe all the people who tell you to get fucked when you are trying to sell it?!!! look at all the drama over Y2K RS! he had to break it in the end.

be better in the long run to buy a genuine shell with id and start from there. unless its just for rallying etc.

Cam

Remove a thorobred modern V8 to stick a hotted up Cortina engine in its place???
If its a genuine 355 and not a fibreglassed up MR2 the perpetrator wants rodgering with the rough end of a rotating pineapple!
