e23 for restoration
Re: e23 for restoration
Anyone know if this restoration got started/how it's going? Would love to see an update?

Re: e23 for restoration
apparently it didn't start, the resto project failed at the first hurdle following an assessment by a bodyshop.
trouble is the shop has said it'll cost X to do which is way more than the cars value (how they know the value is hard to figure), it's a shame as this is the first of the B10's made and was FS own car and the dealerships demo to boot. But with luck this will be saved by another

Re: e23 for restoration
I don't think it's going anywhere in a hurry, Current owner Roy, seems to think it's worth £15k in its present condition,
And it might need reshelling, apparently it is rotten from the lower windscreen and scuttle area
Considering Andrew Gilbert's B10 , similar car sold at Anglia car auctions over the weekend @ £6600 hammer price

Re: e23 for restoration
That is a shame, hopefully some progress will be made soon. I was waiting to see the results from ACA, tomorrow online apparently.

£15k? He's been on the sauce surely?

Re: e23 for restoration
I think the scuttle panel was rusted
That’s why the first owner didn’t proceed with it and sold it
Needs a lot of welding I was told

Re: e23 for restoration
I believe Roy stil owns it gee
Re: e23 for restoration
I’m sure it sold according to Grant , but you might be right, check out the mot issues, will take a lot to get put right and restore, I did send Jam up to see Grant, at that stage your right , Roy was on the resto vibe
Re: e23 for restoration
Looks like an interesting restoration, be great when it is finished.
