ANDY ABBOTT Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Interesting 400r V8 rally car popped up for sale the on omoc facebook page . Does anyone recognise the car or know any of its history ? Or any info on the company/chap that built it ? Looks a real time warp. Apparently been locked away for 23 years !

H-400 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I like it, has got attitude. Love the way how the front bumper is fitted on the front mask. Give it 8x15 Ronals (yet 5x15) and it looks unbeatable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems strange, that no-one seems to know anything about the car, and it's been used on stages in the early days apparently. Would love to know more about it's past and it's build etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-400 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I don't have a facebook account, what do they ask for it? See something like a tripmaster and fire extinguisher, floorpans are rusty but looks like someone gave this car some love & attention.

It was originally up at 5k then on car and classic for 3k, I'm currently in talks with it's owner with a veiw to buy it 🤔 It's certainly had a lot of cash chucked at it in its past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I always get paranoid when I see a black shell on Q plate. Would love to know chassis number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it's your one mate it was built over 25 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY ABBOTT Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Seems it's an unknown car then, with the lack of any replys or info ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ems Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Nice car - I'll have to get myself another rally car sometime to take away the temptation of converting this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffy1984 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Does the owner have no info on it Andy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering if it was a known car to the club. And history of who was involved in the build. Im off to collect it in the morning. So I'll see what paperwork says. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY ABBOTT Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 Well it's home got a load of paperwork to go through, and I'll be starting a build thread on it soon 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
