nice find but strange how it was welded at 19K :confused::confused:

how many owners has it had - can be a good indicator to milage (in a funny sort of way, if you get what i mean :o)

average miles per year would be somewhere near what it is 79/80 to 1992 - 120,000 ................. if it isnt 19k -

looks good tho - just like them 'Diaorama' models in a dusty barn :cool:

another one back soon

They had rot in them when they were new,it was in the metal like a lot off 70s and 80s cars.:mad:

[GAZ W]

seems a bit strange that the lad had worked there for 4 years and didnt even know the car was there:confused::confused:

[wombat]

if it has 19K,leave it as it is, restore it and leave it. Gerald from Ireland has some competition now!

If only i was as lucky :rolleyes:

Very good find

Cripes - one of those fairytale finds, but I would be very dubious of mileage!?! Also, makes you wonder how these things occur doesn't it?? I simply couldn't put an RS into storage for some 18 years and forget all about it; whilst in the process dumps volumes of shite all over it....:confused:

I know of an rs2000 that is sitting the same way covered in boxes at the back of a m8s garage when hes working on other cars spraing and such he just wipes excess filler and spraypaint onto the escort:winka: if a canfind the pics will get them up think there on old computer still at least the cars in a dry garrage
