Kilps Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Thence to Jim Stokes Classics for... Is that supposed to be 'thanks'? Secret lockable document compartment within lockable glove box Lucky the car will blend in so well, otherwise this wouldn't be at all secret anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 It is worth every penny if it is reliable and competitive in it's class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Looks pretty good value to me for an un-used rally car. Is that supposed to be 'thanks'? Erm... No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Crazy price!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Crazy price!? Try building an FIA-spec rally car for £26k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Lucky the car will blend in so well, otherwise this wouldn't be at all secret anymore I am sure that is a standard feature on all the MK4 Golf's? You'd think he paid a lot of money for it. Try building an FIA-spec rally car for £26k Surely he hasn't actually spent £50k on this car? The most expensive item I can see is the fuel cells. No details on the engine or the work carried out, power etc so as far as I am aware it is 1.4L engine Actually the roll cage might have costed more than that, still though.

Ohlins suspension, cockpit computer, etc etc. It has all the bits. Looks like it was designed to race in a certain discipline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 group n will be a stock engine so no engine work will have been carried out, group n is basically production car, alot call it the show room class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Saying that though new rules do allow the engine to be blueprinted now also dog boxes are free and suspension is free. iirc you can use any engine management as well. There is still the restriction on turbo cars of 32mm though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Worth 26k?.... Erm no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Not worth 26k but can see the build costing near that, to have a shell fully prepped is not cheap to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Why would he state he's spent £50k on it if he hasn't? He even says he has the receipts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistermann Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 £26k is a bargain........what with 3 cigarette lighter power points! i'm sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
