Cars with true provenance are a good thing and are hopefully the original ones. There's nothing wrong with all the others though.

Doesn't really matter as long as a buyer knows what they're getting. Put your own value on what the car is.



I'm just into smart cars

it does create a bit of snobbery when we're all just into cars aren't we?

[Hoonabator]

As soon as you start... Shall we say 'merging' two cars history into one then you're on shaky ground.

The DVLA have it right and should be tougher.

just read this whole thread and one thing i cant get is why has frosty started this ??
is it that he believes now he has a MK1 RS2000 he himself believes that they are a proper RS as he never commented like this while he owned his red MK2 so either MK2 escorts are classed as a proper RS or was his a pop plus with a v5 added
it didnt seem to handle like a RS as at the first corner at the donnington it ended up in the sand pit all day or is it that frosty cant drive ?

please add your thoughts to this and post them

aye, that was just lack of talent

[mk1gaz]

All the nice ones are reshells etc just like RS porsches , lotus cortinas , lotus sunbeams , hs chevette's , mini copper s , blah , blah .
Seeing as they were all rotten in the 1980's and worthless most got scrapped and the V5's stashed in bedrooms . Now they are worth money then all the log books come out , lol .
