Title: V reg 1st gen value?
Post by: R32 Nik on March 22, 2007, 06:08:45 PM
Hi guys.

I went to get an exhaust put on my van today and one of the chaps there had 2 X FB\'s. He is using one at the moment whilst doing the other one up.

The one he is using will be up for sale in a week or twos time and he offered it to me for £600 including a few parts that can be put back on to bring it back to the original condition, i.e original dash, wheels etc.

i was just wondering if this was a fair price for a Vreg FB which does need some cosmetic work doing, i.e rust on arches etc.

It is MOT\'d until december and runs well from what I heard.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Nik

you should be able to pick better ones up for that money, newer and better condition.

Newer doesn\'t necessarily mean better.....i prefer the very early ones personally;)

I reckon 600 notes is ok for a nice EARLY one:cool  Have a good look underneath for that nasty rust though.......look what i found on mine after i bought it

I\'ve pushed my thoughts out on this before; the Mark3 1st Generation 1985/1986 seems to resist rust better than the Mark2 and most likely the Mark1 (which is what the V plate will probably be). I think its galvanealed steel on the later 1st Gens?

As Mr Bishi said the mk1 has some thing so goodabout it.
 I own a 79 lhd yellow car that i waited to buy, ex California, no rust at all, fact is they all want to rust them selves back into the ground where they came from. had a mk2 and 3 both had worm but the old photos of Win Percy wheel up round corners are all of mk1\'s. Pics of my 7 on the old school meet in Dummer, the rx3 is also mine.
 what ever you buy get its weight in Waxoyl pumped into it, stick it in a dehumidified garage and buy the best you can. You did good Bishi to turn round that white one so quickly.
 the yellow 7 is going to get some power increase soon.
