safcdixon Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Bonnet vent, ps airbag and rear lights are uk Really hard to say though as it looks to been apart and partially rebuilt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Other than the above, everything that would make it a UK spec have been removed. Got any other pictures of the interior? Mainly the actual dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Can you get the chassis number and check it that way Fog light switch on the dash ? Diff cooler in osr wheel arch ? The ABS is missing in the engine bay Edited October 5, 2018 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawan Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 I will get the Vin details tomorrow and report back apparently all the missing parts are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) The engine is very probably a uk spec one, so i guess that stands the rest of the car in good stead. It has the attachment for the snorkel on it, that cools the turbos, it'd be pretty unlikely that it has been retrofitted.

Marcus GTE Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 My bet is that it’s a JSpec with UK engine and other parts. Something doesn’t seem right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blythmrk Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 can someone help with VIN? i have vin number can message. Message me and I will have a look and do my best. The diff in the footwell isn’t a Uk big case. It was 100% on fb and it was abroad it said it had been taken apart and not finished and the story also matches scout the missing parts, even the picture is the same (the one on the cobbles in front of the gate) The interior should be ivory carpet and seats as far as I know they never came black with black interior. It shouts be careful unless it’s cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 My check on the VIN says the car should be Alpine Silver manual 6 speed but doesn't give me any more useful info If anyone else checks it the VIN is missing 1 zero after the 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Very strange info i'm getting on this No dot gov mot check history and says its not had its first mot yet, was registered 5th Feb 1996 Has had reg number changed 4 times and 4 keeper changes but says no colour change yet my searches say colour is silver/grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blythmrk Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 It’s been abroad so that explains the lack of mot history and the paint looks fresh so it was probally a silver car with black leather. It’s a very strange one though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he said all that wants doing is the front to be rebuilt again with a few parts. But he said he has 10 cars and doesn't have the time to complete it. He kept saying to me its a £35k-40k car once complete lol - with only 3-5k needing to be spent onit. But you have to ask why hasn't he completed it himself if the return is that great (which it's not) sounds a bit fishy ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) He kept saying to me its a £35k-40k car once complete lol - with only 3-5k needing to be spent onit. £5k would probably not cover half the missing parts that you can see are missing. Recovering a working a/c would take nearly £2k in parts as the pipework is discontinued so would need fabricating. Then the ABS is absent so are the sensors still there and working, that lot could be another £2k. Then the inter-cooler and oil cooler, there is another £1k+ using non OEM parts. Looks wiring and fuses light. Then if you want an air box with pipework and shrouds and ducting, well thats probably going to be £1k. Then there is the radiator, have to be a non OE one there. Fuses, igniter, charcoal canisters, inter cooler ducting - there is another £2k or so. Front lights, you'd be looking at another £1k there. Front bumper and paint, thats got to be another £1k. Battery and tray, thats not going to cost loads. Looks like no exhaust to, if you need cats and exhaust to get to stock thats minimum £1k spend buying second hand. The engine loom, they are expensive if you can still get them, probably another £500 if you can get one secondhand. This all assumes no labour beyond your own endeavours.
