Hi, nice car,

One question, what went wrong with the engine to need rebuilding at less than 98k miles?

Looks like a good one, but cash is low right now due to wage drop...so I will have to pass.

All the best with the sale though.

before i bought it the car was sat for 4 years when i put it on the road it developed a sticky lifter making a horrible noise, i then saw the fully rebulit forged engine for sale, so i thought i would rather have that, i run it in for 1000 miles

you should hear it lol

shame to see it go franky, they are def on the way up in price.

do you remember the t5r saloon I brought a while back in olive green from the isle of wight for £350?

had a bit more mileage with a good history (about as good as it gets history wise), was nicely spec'd suspension, rip, 4 pot brakes plus wheels. But needed a bit or body work on one quarter as paint had faded.

I sold it for £3500 a few months back.

So I would agree they are going up in price, i'll be selling one of my spare gull's later in the year for 3500-4500 depending on what I end up doing and whether its the saloon or estate.

I don't worry about others view on prices as these cars are all over the shop lowest I've seen was the £350 I paid and most being £10k.

Over on the continent they price them much more and are always after parts with much more of a heritage scene.

Just have to stick with it as prices in the last two years have risen a lot, usually means supply is not keeping up with demand.

Eventually the good ones will be left and prices will go up, I actually think for what they are compared with cosworth's etc they are extremely cheap.

people on vpc have no money so when you say 850r for sale they wasnt one for 1000-1500 and cant understand why mine is different, the wheels look alot better in the flesh, always look darker in photos
