Must admit, I turned it off once I saw the state of it. The owner wasn't coming across very well either, it all felt a little strained.

It was a real shame about the rot and the condition it had been stored in, i got the feeling the owner was gutted as well.
Hopefully it looks worse than it is and the shell isn't unsalvageable, in the world of £50k RS1600i's and £100k+ Escort Cosworth's you'd expect it to be valuable.

Seem a mint one is worth around £25k, it'd take that to restore this one.

He would be mad to restore it to try and make money, but a 13k mile 2 owner xr4i will definitely appeal to the ford weirdos, and someone somewhere will have the skills and donor parts / car to fix it.
But yeah, I think if the top looks like that the bottom is going to be more air than metal.
Cheers, Harry

Re: Decent car YouTubes
Is that your actual former car Barry? I have a photo of it outside a church in South Cerney on the Stratford meet. Different alloys and reg but I guess I’ve now got to watch Jayemm.
Re: Decent car YouTubes
Doubt its my old car tbh, I sold it to the IFG crowd and it stayed with Sean in Germany while on the 2nd 'Ring trip. They subsequently threw a rod on a hot lap, and I had a falling out with them
Dynamically it wasn't a great drivers car so if I was going to relive my youth it wouldn't be with one of those. DC2 all day long, if I went that route.

I remember when the last one crashed, good to see they're back.

Yuk. Seeing moving images hasn’t reduced my dislike for this blatant cashing-in effort.

Friend of mine who's into EVs, trackdays and offroading did a very extensive EV towing test.
I helped with some of the filming so most of the wobbly cam is my fault.
