Oh, it's just Henry and Charles, spinning in their graves.

And it's a fking diesel!

[richtea78]

£22500!!!!!

At least he's registered the 3.0 litre diesel conversion with DVLA.

Original (seized) engine and oily bits included too. Possible to save it and return it to being a 'Rolls Royce'? Would it be worthwhile getting a pukka coachbuilder to knock a decent body together? Any chance at all of saving it and it being financially worth doing the work?

Such a shame it's gone the way it has, as it's now a RR in name only. £22,500 is daft money too, to own something that looks like a Toyota powered pigeon loft.

The quality of workmanship in that is
I'd love to see the MOT testers face when that turns up!

That is an MX5

[Lefty]

Agreed. I suspect the chassis and many of the original parts are still worth good money.

If the project was for sale at a reasonable price (<£10k) it could be a reasonable start point for a project, maybe with a rolls royce Meteor...

The ad says "Built for my son but never used"

Anyone want a cheap R5 Gordini?

That's almost worthy of a "you know you want to" shout...

On the basis of the advert description, I'm guessing it has FSH and a current V5, could be wrong though.

Price might be a little optimistic?

It's the car the MG SV could've been...

[neilbauer]

Not really badly modified, in fact I liked it as did the 20+ people who stopped to take pictures ( very sad you'd never catch me doing that!) I didn't know where else to post and it's not going to be everyone cup of tea.
