This sounds like it's going to be Epic when it's finished Peter, so I'll look forward to your progress with this.
Have you also thought about ordering the stickers that go by the drivers door striker, I'd seen that there is a tread on here as to where you can order them if not already.
I’ll look forward to seeing No238 come to the market - great pedigree with 32000 miles and only 2 owners.
I’ll echo what Ed has said above - Pistonheads could now be the new CC however we will see later on this week when No500 comes to an end.
The issue with CC’s is the new commission...
Trophy makes the list again with a great write-up 🚗 🏆 ❤️

I think if it was me in need I'd snap Ed's hand off at £622 for a new unit - then send my other side for refurb to make a pair if BG are confident they have the parts, with them not having the body's make's the above seem more like a bargin though - also could you imagine If these where full...
Hi James
What type of hangers are you using ???? I changed my original ones for black grams to get a bit more stability and a little more lift.
Ed is the expert though and I'm sure he'll be along shortly with his vast knowledge :):):)
We do make the list 🚗🏆❤️ -

Stunning Ed and like Mark has said …. What a great 2025 we have been treated to from No.407 ….. hibernation now till 2026 sounds good in keeping it looking tip top, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a sneaky peek 👀 on a lovely day 😍😍😍
£9000 and finishes in 2hrs -

Wow Mike that looks like a fair bit to add on - at over 5k for a 128k car that needs repairing definitely looks a night out to me, and that’s before taking into account that it is on the register and needs a front set of Sach’s.
I’d love to know others thoughts on this ???
Looking on the Facebook post regarding this, someone has put it sold at £3950 today, having near used this site I'm not sure what cost's are added on to checkout ????
Does anyone know -
This article tells you the differance Francis - £2500 more than the standard RB5 due to increased bhp - 215 to 237bhp - Short Shift box - Rear wing - aircon.

Yes most where standard things as they were all nearly new -
Do you know if it’s a PPP car as they had 237 bhp - the rear wing is a tell tale sign to say it is however a few put them on as aftermarket -
I mostly bought P1’s and they had loads of different options
I’d love to find a...
£31995 after a 60k restoration - I'm glad it's not me telling the Wife that there's no 2025/26 holidays :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
Stunning thing though...
I'm going to be a little conteversial here Francis in saying it looks a little bland without it's Red bumper insert trim, or is it just me ????
Do you think he was going for the contrasting look with the wheels.
Also sat very low at the back end which may slightly hinder it's ride on our great...
Missed it Andy - looks like it got sold late 24 - bummer ☹️☹️
When you read the write up it had electric Recaro’s which is such a 80/90s thing with the buttons on the seat bolster

This is a bit more you Andy - I’ve spoken to the Chap who owns it a couple of times - stunning thing and running a 20v Turbo with 250 bhp.
The interior is awesome too with it’s beautiful Recaro seat’s - shame I don’t have a picture of them.
Quizzed him a few times regarding price 🤣🤣 as I too...
£19200 ish including fees - doesn’t looks crazy money for one of the first hot hatches made - and I wouldn’t want to start and replicate it starting from scratch nowadays.
I'm interested to see what this makes as it's not doing crazy money at the moment - looks a lovely car from a distance online too, 1.6 5 speed in Mars Red.
Love that no Mot or Tax are needed which is a bonus...
I'd say Tim the 14 owners before have wanted it so why not another :) - however I would be put of myself but other's could look at it a different way.
More owners more spend ??? - usually you find car's that have been previously written off have had loads of owners.
I do love a magic sponge 🧽🧽🧽 Ed as you know 🤣🤣
They also do a great job on the window rubbers and interior handles - I gave mine a rub up the other week
