Found this on another Forum...
Rough as FOOK (http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2060606.htm)

You'd think he'd buy a new Steering wheel and replace the sidelight/Xenon bulb.

Anyone know this car?
Ya think it's this one?

Owned by a Non-Smoker? :hahaha:

Oh, just noticed. I'm past 1000 posts, wooohooo!

Can't believe he has repaired the fire damage then left the rest in such a state, that'll never sell like that for that price.

The £10k car originally if no engine or loom damage would have made a great track/ road toy. You could have left some of the damage unrepaired and fitted race seats, stripped interior and fitted cage,

[glendog74]

That's shocking - and he wants almost £20k? :smt099 :bigcry:

It does look like it could be the same car.

[sailorbaz]

£10K would have been a seriously good prospect. As you say, strip out the damaged parts and replace with uprated stuff, brakes, suspension and cage and you're looking at £20K track car. EPIC fun.

If you're going to do something, do it right. Look at the state of that steering wheel!!!

Double post - Wanker!

Yep it's the same car!! Agree should have stripped it out and turned it into a track weapon!! Shame. Poor person who buys this. Wonder what it smells like?:whistle:

[pinkpanther008]

Told me he sold it to a chap building a race car, should be on circuits near you soon!?
I believe it went for £14K+!
I guess it might be worth it for a race build (£engine£) but not as a resto considering cost of parts to resurrect?

Interesting accident!

Seeing as I'm 1/3 jewish (tighter than a gnats chuff!:bigcry:)

What needs replacing? Steering wheel obviously, and the roof would need sorting but why would anybody want to rip it up and turn it into a track toy?

Surely a little TLC would turn it into a gem??

Tight fucker! :hahaha: Have you tried finding reasonably priced CSL parts, seats, interior trim, rear view mirror, steering wheel, that's probably 3-4k there with hidden extra's and gremlins to find, then you've got the CSL specific lightweight rear glass to find and this is all before you get to wiring and paintwork! :bigcry: :bigcry:

[Franco]

But most of its been sorted Dan or have I misread the post?

And shut it you, I love challenges :bigcry:

Ahh I missed the first link, some of it's been done, still looks like plenty of missing parts and one fucked steering wheel! :bigcry:

I'm fed up of challenges after all the rot box Ford's! I'm all for an easy life now! :hahaha: :smokin:

[sailorbaz]

It looks like he's made an attempt at getting it back but either got bored or run out of funds. See it's missing a CF splitter on the front too, and the photos under the bonnet are filthy.

£14K seems more reasonable though. Track car FTW.

[Franco]

At 14k I can keep my Cosworth!!!!!!!!!! :gayfight:

[shimmy]

Wil be more expensive to repair than buy proper one even at £10k

Gawd knows what's fucked but ok if you turn into track slag as knownody cares then

[pinkpanther008]

If i remember the conversation correctly it was a 'mate' dropping a cigarette end?

Cost of parts to restore originality would be mighty, some parts getting very rare? How many spare rear glazzing did BMW produce for example? Carbon roof and cross member would likely be warped with heat.

When interior seats/trim sell for 5K on some forums and then, as mentioned many small burn't electrical gremlins to sort out. The binacle glass was melted - surprising how much heat generated in such a small fire.

Great track car prospect tho.

Also might be written off by insurance company which will cause future on-costs?

How many are left inb the UK now?
