GTEPETE Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 me too....but needs proper 400 wheels... GUIDE PRICE: £100,000 - £120,000 + buyers premium of 12.5% plus VAT (15% incl VAT) on the first £300,000 of the hammer and 10% plus VAT (12% incl VAT) thereafter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-400 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Very nice build, with an eye for details. But not sure about the guide price, if you go for that price they forgot to build the front airdam with alu parts to guide the air to the oilcooler and on the other side the carb intakes. As also the brake cooling tubes. They mention in the text an '88 shell but it's a B1 shell. As Pete wrote, 400 rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonmonkey Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Wow suprised at that, quite a few things didn’t sell yesterday including both of the ex McRae rally cars (mind you £230k for a Mk2 pinto!) and I was there today (under strict orders not to buy anything😊) and bidding seemed slow for the lots I watched. I think the RS500 had only done 5000 miles, but over half a million is astonishing. I think the Esprit V8 for £31k or the Integrale Evo at £35k were good value. The BMW Batmobile didn’t sell and is up for £126k Edited February 25, 2023 by Moonmonkey 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you all know it....🤣🤣🤣 it said recreation in the advert !! he spent well over 100k building it good donor car 15 to 20 k ,Gerant engine is 35k, proper phase 3 axle is super rare 10k,proper opel sport dog leg gearbox 8k , sachs paddle clutch 2k,exaust manifold and system 1500. i spent 2k just on aeroquip pipe and fittings and thats before you start doing a shell prep and all the other bits easily put 500 hours in shell prep. it takes me 16 hours to make 2x proper group B top wishbone arms and i have the original jigs these are hard and expensive cars to make. personally struggle to understand why the battery is behind the engine and perhaps it would have been a usefull to have fitted all the air ducting for rad and oil coolers Edited February 25, 2023 by simon powell 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
