Thanks for the info RE5 pretty much what I thought regarding the whats worth more than the alternative. Mine being a UK spec TII coupe is like a unicorn nowerdays. Im kinda at the point where its worth what ever someone is willing to pay for it. With it needing work (welding and restoring) that has to be reflected in the price. It could be patched up and serviced and be road worthy so maybe I just do that for now. 

Hiya Casey. How are you mate? It's been a long time. It's good to see some of the guys and gals are still here from back in the day. I guess there will always be less of us as the cars get scraped etc over the years.

RESERECTION ALRET!!!!!!!!! Only 5 years or so but who's counting.

So I still have my FC, she has been tucked away comfortably in my garage for so long until a few weeks ago when we got a new kitchen and had some building work done. Now as you can imagine there were  lot of things to store and a car in the garage seemed like it was a waste of space we needed (so she said). So the car had to move to make way. After climbing into (im not joking) the engine bay to do the maintenance a stored car needs before running again she fired right up.  I then backed her out and parked her up on the safety of the driveway. Okay okay I did take her down the road and back to make some BRAPS for the neighbours to enjoy, I promise it was not for my entertainment it was purely for the good of the community (including the miserable  cow a few doors down that always complains about all the cars on the street). Anyway since it was parked outside I've had 3 people stop and ask me questions about it, one had had an FB and FC and RX8 previously. I have also had two enquiry's if it is for sale. Now technically it isn't for sale however  I could use the space and money for other activities plus I'm not sure I can afford to put the money into her to make her as new again like I would like to.
So Rotorheads how the hell do you price a UK spec T2 when there literally isn't any to compare against for sale?


Just to add, she is back in the garage again now and out of the british weather.

Nice one Jim. Do you fancy coming round and getting mine ready fro the road again once you are done?

P.S. 4 years is nothing I think mine is nearer 6 years!

Aye up Stu. Have you still got my number? Give me a shout if you have. I may know someone who could be interested in you auto one (I still love the colour of it too).

Ade

So what happened to the other car? I need updates!

Holy shizzle Ben is back. Nice FC mate.

Whats this Facebook thing then? Never been on it myself. I've met a few people I'd like to smash in the face with a book. Does that count?

Who wouldn't miss this!

Been thinking about the car a lot recently. Im thinking wait till spring when he weather is better (famous last words) and drag it out and actually fix it. Drive it around for the summer and then if I can bring myself to advertise it. I've been given clearance from said wifey mentioned above to fill the void left with motorbikes/man cave type stuff so all is not lost! Just not sure I will be able to bring myself to sell it when the time comes.

That's quite tempting actually!

This is what has got me thinking about selling it. You just don't see coupes coming up for sale very often. There seems to be more verts around than coupes so in the right condition (as in on the road) the coupes could fetch more is my thinking.

If I could get at it and get it out of the garage then pics and fixing it wouldn't be such an issue! Lol unfortunately children have come along and wifey has kinda booked it in the garage with kid stuff!

Where is grinder at? He would have offered me 50p and a curly Wurly for it by now back in the day

Suppose I should have given some info on the car for those who don't know it or remember it. It's a UK car 1990 T2 coupe circa 100k with engine rebuild at 60 odd k. FC specific apexi pfc, greedy Elbow, hens teeth top mount ic, stainless exhaust etc etc running around 300bhp.
I might also add that this is not something I am defo gonna sell. I've always said that it will out stay the wife  but now I'm not so sure. Guess I kinda need some motivation to finish it more than anything else!
