Thanks to this forum my VRS has now found a new enthusiast owner for what I thought car worth. New owner has plans already in hand to start the remedial work to get her up and running again. Sorry to see her go but even if I had done work myself and kept, it would not have got the use deserves. Look forward to New Owner giving updates on progress from trailer back to roadworthyness.

Yes vrsTOM you are right. Thought I was in the right place for an enthusiast to take it on, but £500 ain't gonna buy it. Some more pics.

Scratches on right rear door and small dents on front o/s wing hard to photograph the later.

Here are some pics for now for those interested. I am well aware of cambelt, anti-Freeze, Brake Fluid etc. Also, insurance and £240 quid or more tax for something I might only use very few times a year and running another vehicle on a **** poor civil servants pay. Maintenance not a problem if I put my mind to it, I used to do Concourse Events and shows with a 1983 Ford Escort RS1600!.

simspj Thanks for your response. £700 I would definately break it. If I get chance if it stops bloody raining here in S Wales will take some pictures of it if anybody interested. Would be nice to see it go to a true enthusiast and bring it back to factory condition.

Hi I was a member here long time ago but forgot my password. Few years ago I got seriously ill (now better) and could not drive my VRS so it has been sorn'd ever since as don't really need as walk to work. Standing idle for so long the fuel pump seized so replaced few years ago and that has now seized again for lack of use. Battery dead and wants replacing and rear calipers also seized up. Had to remove calipers to move vehicle so likely needs rear caliper, discs, pads etc. My partner wants a new 'sensible' car so she has suggested it has to go. The vehicle has only just under 20,000 original miles with a few dents and dings arising from just sitting on drive and in garage!!! The car has a mint interior. Question is, what's it worth due to exceptionally low mileage but needing some TLC or is it worth more breaking it?
