couperman Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) I have decided to sell my old pride and joy. I seriously doubt this could be salvaged from it's current state as it's too far gone. The car comes complete (rolling only/non starter but the engine does turn on the key when jump started) with interior and engine as pictured. The car has been laid up for so long I would not like to say that the engine is FULLY OK and ready to go. The complete interior is OK and was only removed so pics of the floor pan could be taken. Rust has attacked the floor pan, A pillers, roof, rear arches and bonnet. The chasis rails are gone. The car has been laid up since 1995 (SORNed every year since then). It has a 2.1 (rebuilt) 16v engine. Polo heater box, 1800 sump 1800 gearbox, 1800 engine mounts, remapped ECU, Oil cooler, SBD exhaust - all the usual 16v components for the conversion are all HERE!!! Braided hoses. 2 Pot calipers. Kent Cams and Pulley's inside the red top 16v. KYB shocks and springs. All the IRMSCHER exclusive trim included - skirts, rear spoiler, interior trim and twin lights - green glass except the rear screen which was smashed many years ago and replaced with bronze/brown GT/E glass. It also had a LASERLINE alarm fitted, fob will be supplied. Comes with RMJ rear bumper in need of repair and some rear light housings. All I have taken off the car are the wing mirrors. I am in Skelmersdale, Lancashire (WN8 6SX) for viewing and haggling. I am unsure what this gold mine of parts is worth so I look forward to OFFERS!!! Please ask any questions, I will not be selling anything seperately - it is to be sold as a JOB LOT. PICS to follow.

399Road Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 It looks like the white car was a minter in 1995. How come it ended up being parked up ? Looking at your then and now pictures has got me worrying about what my cars will look like in 2027. Maybe they'll all be on the road by then and I'll be restoring something like an orange Focus ST ! You must be gutted having to sell something you've had for as long as that. Good luck with your sale.... Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couperman Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 I got distracted by Jap turbo's and thought it would be OK, but the rot had already set in. I took it off the road in 2005. I have my Monaco blue Exclusive now and won't let it happen again!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upk Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 too far gone??? looks like a nice easy resto to me, unfortunatly when i finish my current manta I have a mk2 ezzy waiting! hope you find a buyer willing to bring this back to life. kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couperman Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Cheers Kev, I hope you're right!! You obviously have 'the talent'. I need the space and cash for my blue exclusive. Put the old pic up for inspiration... Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith1200 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 It's 'too' a big job for someone like me but hopefully someone with the right skills, will buy it, as it would be shame if it got broken up for parts GL with sale Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couperman Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Cheers Keith, I agree I could break it myself and keep the parts. I'm keeping my blue exclusive standard as it's too good too meddle with. Engine also has KENT CAMS and PULLEY's inside it!!! Forgot to mention this earlier. Been offered £800 so far everyone. Nearest £1000 takes it. PM me. Cheers, Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffy1984 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 It would be a shame for it to be broken up but either way it's a lot of car for a grand, just wish I wasn't hundreds of miles away! Good luck with the sale, hope someone takes it on. Cheers, Peter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E416 PBO Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 pity its so expensive to get a car to Ireland. i'm definately interested but but too costly to get transported across. Hopefully you'll get a good price. It definately looks to be worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you'll get a good price. It definately looks to be worth the money. I was looking at that black manta with the knackered roof on ebay, and I quite fancied it BUT transport costs to scotland are horrendous! something like £350!
