So with the car that rusty is it fair to say they have paid 8k for the VIN plates and a V5?

Yup, that's what you're paying for.

And that's not that rusty. One of my RS2000's was worse than that 30 years ago

[Laurel Green]

V5? 'Twere called a logbook back then.

Actually really enjoying this.

Wish I had seen this a month ago, as I turned down a Mclaren c12 job because I don't have jig for chassis, turns out all I needed to do was make sure panel gaps were correct!

Which of the performance Mk1's are the most expensive nowadays? Is it down to rarity or motorsport successes?

Me too. Have a real soft spot for the old escorts Mk1 and Mk2.

Gutted I sold my last 2 door MK1 shell for 200 quid and it was way better than theirs.

It's actually a very nicely made programme. Well shot, good soundtrack, and will probably rate well as C4 cunningly schedule it to tap into the audience who are missing TG on BBC2

RS1600 and Twin Cam are the most valuable and expensive, followed by the Mex/RS2000.

The rozzers in Liverpool had 1.8cc Marinas. No wonder they were slow!

RS1600's and the Lotus Twin Cam, both around the 50k mark in general!

Aerodynamics hadn't been invented yet

Interesting to see the tactic which lead to the police having things like lancer evos.

I've not seen the senior members of the Harris clan since the heady days of the cruise scene back in the late 70's early 80's when they used to terrorise London in their V8 powered Zephyr's and Zody's

[VinceFox]

Solid roof, good move fellas.

[WinstonWolf]

Mario, this is how it's done...

That engine build was
