My 850 R finally decided its had enough - Car Sold

[Flake]

After chasing a problem with the head, my 850 R has finally warped its head. Already had the head done once and I doubt it'll skim again.

It has 190,000 miles on it, and in spite of spending thousands on it, hang a new heater matrix, new hoses, new radiator, new shocks and springs and everything on the front end, I just can't justify spending another 2 grand for a new head.

That said in an attempt to recoup some of my outlay I will be breaking it from around 4th Jan...

Obviously I'd rather it went to someone as a project, prepared to keep one of the few remaining manual 850 R's on the road, but likely my best chance of recouping my costs is to break it into small pieces.

Any one interested in any pieces?

It's a black model with black alcantra trim.

Heated seat doesn't necessarily work in the passenger side, beyond that the interior is in very good condition. all original interior.

There is no difference in the engines mate.

Why don't you put a price up for the whole car just so people would be interested?

I'm still interested in the interior though.

no difference in the engine to what mate? I certainly can't take a head off an 850 20v and put it on mine can I?? At least that's what I'm led to believe.


I'm trying to think of a price for the whole car, i've no idea where to start. lol.
