Just passed 25 years in the same branch. Time flies!

That is true!

Gotcha! A friend of the MD of a Ford RS dealership talked me into meeting him. That was 40 years ago and I can't escape :ROFLMAO:

or this

We're not seeing that tbh. Numbers are historically down (marginally), but that's offset by profitability which isn't a bad thing considering the new car situation and shortage of good used stock.

So you think it's just seasonal as opposed to them suddenly becoming thin on the ground? Around the time I was selling mine, the prices were rock bottom and weren't shifting at all.

Yes, that makes sense Richard. I'll probably make the RB a bit more track/road oriented once I get bored. The trouble with a pure race car is you need a trailer, 4x4, extra road tax, fuel and storage fees. Been there!

You've got to get that 182 restored fella. I did all of mine on the drive. I think I'm just getting the itch for another race car and don't like the prices :ROFLMAO: Not bitter at all :ROFLMAO:

Nuts! I suppose asking is one thing, whether they get it is another. I had half the world after the BG and I only advertised the race car on Piston Heads Saturday morning and it was on a delivery truck by Sunday afternoon. Some of these cars are sticking mind, so maybe I'm being more realistic...

Yeah it’s weird. I thought I could read the market but lately it’s gone bonkers. I mean it’s not a bad thing as I still own a restored 83k RB 182, but by these prices mine should sell for £10,000 which is crazy in my opinion.

I'm noticing a lot of very expensive 1*2 on the market of late. I sold my 182 Race Car this time last year for £6,500 and it was a proper machine with 80k with no expense spared. I'm seeing lesser track cars now up for £8,000. My BG daily with 130,000 went to a nice chap on CS in October for...

If the gearbox is off you could check the crankshaft oil seals and also the thermostat housing gaskets are prone to leak. Have you looked around the sump for leaks as they can weep from overage gaskets? I changed all 3 of the above when my engine was out for a good clean up as these cars are...

I don't sorry. I contacted him over the internet. He responds reasonably quickly on Facebook though.

Try @Stu. at Renomotive. He’s helped me out on many an occasion

Looks a peach 🍑 Well done!

Well thats just it mate. I have held off for too long so now its time to take the car off the road for a bit and set about getting everything done before anything gets worse. Will be a long process but will be worth it..... I hope 😂😂 Are you still keeping it track focused?

No red and white markers in the OP image though 🤷🏻‍♂️

No racing on that weekend so looking good. #inthediary Might need a track car 🤔

I've used them on the road and found them fine. The same goes for Nappa and Apec. All ok for general road use. I'm not sure I'd try them for circuit use as the odd emergency stop is one thing, but you're looking for a disc to perform similar simulations over and over again. Personally, I...

That looks like a world of pain.

Just do it!

Cracking track. A bit of a trek though, but worth it.

Good man. Basically don't sell any of your OEM bits unless they're to me :ROFLMAO:

Don't chuck it away if it's in decent nick. Took me an age to find a decent one of those and ended up paying £60 for it.

As above. I dealt with Paul - 01676 248206

What's the mileage/history? Worth getting the paint done if it's in good condition all around. Black Gold is always sort after.

Wrong colour though :ROFLMAO:

That does look very tidy. :love: I had 2 of these and it's a really nice colour when it's clean and when the sun is setting.
