Ladies and gentlemen, fans of the 'subtle' Euro-look, I ask you for help....I need to find a good home for my old skool project Fiesta....

It's currently in storage, but I need to sell it on, either as a complete car or as parts. Why, because it's costing too much to store it and I haven't used it for over a year!

It needs a little tlc, having been sat there for so long but, even if you buy it just for the parts (see http://www.jamesw.plus.com/fiestas/ for the Spec) you'll get a bargain! The choice is yours! The pictures show the car as it used to be - as I say, it needs a little tlc to bring it back to it's former glory, but it'd make a superb project car for someone, and a fresh alternative to the current vogue of Jap styled objects vagely resembling cars :devil:

Before going into storage the car had new front/rear panels seam-welded in place (the original ones were a little tatty), and the roof drip rails redone in lead, plus a few other parts leaded (around the rear lights, door handles, etc.) all replacing the original filler. I also sold the Cossie front bumper, to make way for a new bumper (which alas I never had time to buy). Consequently, the car really needs a respray. There's a fantastic leather/alcantara Mk4 interior, chrome roll cage, 1600 hybrid T2 200bhp chromed engine with Ahmed chip, one-off Pace chargecooler, strengthed IB5 box/AP clutch and Magnex exhaust, Cossie brakes, coilover Koni suspension, Puma rear beam, and body mods galore (Audi door handles, shaved roof drip rails, Mk4 sunk-in side indicators, Mk4 boot, Mk4 windscreen, 'subtly' modded/totally smoothed bonnet)! Surely a huge head-start for someone wanting a project car?

Shall I start the bidding - best offer over £3k...

James

P.S. Ade....I hope you don't mind me posting in the Main Forum ..... it's a worthy cause :devil:

by **OneCheekyLady** on Mon Jan 26, 2004 12:36 pm

Im glad someone else is a fan of subtlety rather than animal kits!?!

If i had 3 grand fella, i'd have it now, but i havent even got three quid. :lol:

A friend of mine maybe interested, just had a car crash with very nice rewards from compensation so ive heard!!!

I'll keep you posted...

If u do break it... first dibs on the interior pls. Would suit the Kingfisher

by **my_cougar49** on Mon Jan 26, 2004 6:36 pm

im looking at buying the car pm me with your best price. Whats the milage and does it have sh and mot or tax??

by JJ on Tue Jan 27, 2004 4:02 pm

You have PM! :devil:

An addendum to the above info....
I should point out that, as the car is in storage, it has no MOT or tax (it's on SORN). My preference is to sell it complete rather than break it and as such, you'd have to arrange collection from Kent (with a trailer).

by **MADMATT** on Tue Jan 27, 2004 5:29 pm

such a nice car sum1 must want a mint finished power machine.

but if they dont can i first dibbs the coilovers

thank you please

good luck with selling mate hope she goes to a good home

Cheers

by **beanyfrst** on Mon Feb 02, 2004 4:40 am

Such a TIDY example y sell it

by **AndyRS1800** on Mon Feb 02, 2004 8:44 am

Think some up to date pics would be a good idia, people dont know what they are buying dude,
Tis an ace car, this is the car that really got me into fiesta's years ago, thats why my car is now sat on mondy rims...
Hope you get what you want for it, i really want it,

by JJ on Mon Feb 02, 2004 9:41 am

Thanks for the responses....

Why am I selling it? Well, I have a house and a very nice Clio 172 (soon to be a Clio 172 with 210bhp!) which is great fun on the road and on track days. And no time or money really to devote purely to the Fiesta.

Like I said, I really want to sell it as a complete car as I don't have either the storage space or the time to break it and sell the parts separately. It's got to be a complete bargain for someone looking for a project. Failing that I might just resurrect it later this year, as a track-day car.

I'm getting it trailered over to a friend's soon, so I'll get some photos taken...

by **xrsi** on Mon Feb 02, 2004 10:30 am

if you do decide to break it then i would like the half cage!

and if the doors dont go, then them as well!

by **Brian** on Mon Feb 02, 2004 11:20 am

Wow, thats mint, third dibs on doors please

by JJ on Mon Feb 02, 2004 11:49 pm

Sorry, but I need to sell the complete car....

by **RS rob** on Tue Feb 03, 2004 2:02 am

pm'd you an offer mate!

by JJ on Tue Feb 03, 2004 11:30 pm

bridgend_boy :pm'd you an offer mate!

Thanks, and you have PM!

Just a thought, but if a few of you club together, you could buy the complete car and then split the bits between you. So, six of you @ £500 each = £3k and a choice selection of some very nice spare parts!

by **E$cobar** on Wed Feb 04, 2004 9:30 am

that was the car that made me reconsider fiesta's as schemeteam mobiles . IMO best of the lot

by JJ on Thu Feb 05, 2004 6:16 pm

Why thank you!

by **wilson123** on Thu Feb 05, 2004 7:21 pm

beauty fez mate, just posting as this post brought a smile to my face. All the ft vultures -

"Gorgeous car mate, would love to own it, you should easy get 3k..................................but if you do break ILL HAVE" llama great stuff :lol:

by **Sp00ny** on Thu Feb 05, 2004 9:47 pm

Without a doubt the finest fiesta you will ever see. For those who don't know, James was putting mk4 bits onto/into his fiesta while half of you lot were still at school. Its a shame its not been kept perfect but this is a great opportunity for some lucky person to give it the TLC it deserves.

BTTMFT!

I'm in Kent. Where abouts are you? I'm sure we can arrange something...
Yes, the tech spec is spot on. The engine has done around 40k miles...
