Ph2 Valver - How Much?

[Beef-Mc]

Currently looking about for a fun car that's pretty cheap and I spotted this, N reg with 148K on the clock with a leather interior, Coilovers and 2 sets of rims.

Could do with a little bit of TLC but that's to expected, how much should I be loking to pay for one?

As prices are all over the place on Autotrader.

id guess around £700 tbh, maybe less even,bearing in mind 172's with tlc needed are dropping under 1500

You can pick a half decent valver for around £800.

£300-400 will buy you a needy example.

They are cheap to get them up to scratch though, despite what people say. £350 will see new arch lips welded on and painted, £150 for the steering rack to be welded, £75 a side for new sills..... They're not that dear at al imo.

And they look and handle 10 times better than a 182/172 etc imo. (Flame suit on....)

I had a feeling the one I was looking at was overpriced, from what you guys are saying he wants nearly double that.

 

[Daniel]

Is it black??

 

[Beef-Mc]

It is indeed.

In fact, it's this one http://pistonheads.com/sales/783656.htm

£150 for the steering rack to be welded

play in the steering is usually caused by the column, not the rack, and welding that is £10-20 job..

Buckets 95% of them! Steer clear!

That Valver is indeed very tastey i must say.

 

[Russ_16v]

That car was on here once. I can't remember who owned it, but it was deffo on here. It used to have smaller font number plates on it.

I still like them (I had a minter for four years) I think that they have a bit of character to them.
If Daniel didn't live so far from me i'd have been round his getting excited over his one.

 

[Beef-Mc]

It was on here, just done a search for the number plate and there's a couple of threads about it.

The one Daniel has is pretty mint, it's what got me thinking of the whle valver/Hybrid route.

I want my old Black Valver back!!!

How much are minty (if there are any left) examples going for these days?

 

[f0xy]

i paid 700 for mine, 100% standard, was on 140k, but i was planning to swap engine anyway.

its 1996, 1 lady owner from new until 6 months ago, then her cousin had it. Full service history upto 139k, every stamp in the book....every reciept in the folder.

I hpi'd it, and it was clear. But as i started ripping it apart, turns out its had a whole new drivers side, inc brand new rear quarter from renault, brand new door, etc...oh well!

100% rust free shell too, just what i was looking for......key mark down the drivers door, hence the cheapish price....im happy with it though

 

[JayR]

Thats no bad really.....I remember the days of the average minter costing around 3k which doesnt seem that long ago really!!!

Might have to check those funds for maybe a second car now i know they can be had for around £800 mind.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Mint one for £800 is what I'm looking for, can't see it happening though.
