How long is my piece of string?

[Centurion07]

Well not exactly but it might as well be.

I have a MK2 RS2000 sat in my garage that a friend is willing to take off my hands but neither of us has any idea what it's worth. The reason for this is because it is in such a state. Basically there is not a lot of genuine original Ford RS2000 left as it's had so much welding etc over the years. It could really do with a whole new front end to be honest & my friend is probably looking to turn it into a grp4 shell or something rather than restoring it back to mint. But in short, it has:

2.1 Pinto all lightened, balanced, polished with a big valve head, done maybe 2000 miles but would need a rebuild

4-pot calipers with vented discs

Original 4-spoke Revolutions PLUS a set of Supalites (both sets need refurb)

Brand new full set of carpeting (never fitted)

So, bearing in mind it hasn't so much turned a wheel in +8 years, does anyone have any idea what it's worth?

How much do you want for it and how much is being offered?

[Centurion07]

That's the trouble, neither of us has any idea what the price should be.

From my point of view I'm looking at it as a pile of parts, so essentially the bits I've listed above plus a shell that needs a lot of attention. He's looking at it as a project that he'll either restore or turn into a rally car.

I said I'd have a dig around for some sort of price but all I can turn up is RS2000s in good condition going for £4K and up so not really any help.

I was thinking in the region of about £800; 2 x sets of wheels £100-£150 each, £300 for the engine, then you have the brakes, shell and everything else. Having said that, and even with the condition it's in, it is still a genuine RS2000 so wasn't sure if it's worth a bit more or not?

It's got to be worth more than £800.I've seen logbooks alone going for more than that
