Cavcraft Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Right, these are from Facebook. I don't know the lad selling them, think he sells a few old cars but seems to come across as ok. They're in Wem, Shropshire (probs about equi-distant from Shrewsbury and Whitchurch). He says they all run and they're all Perkins diesels... Fucking LOLZ at this one... They're £300 each, firm. I suspect they were bought for LandRover or canal boat engine conversions, as he implied that and seems to know his stuff. He did also have a non-running 309 diesel (haven't found out which pump yet) a fairly rough 205 diesel (5 door) and a 405 estate which I believe is diesel.# If anyone wants his number, drop me a message, please. No idea if that's his recovery truck in one or two of the pictures, but if he can't put you in touch with a recovery driver, I know someone who'd move them for the right price. Can only imagine they're good for the motors and a handful of other bits. BeEP, UltraWomble, Brodders and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Snipes Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Quite an early one this, thus slightly less absolutely fucking awful as the ones that followed. Dare say if the rest of the car is as good as the bits pictured, £500 is probably quite good value* https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escort-Mk-5/123747703460?hash=item1ccff01aa4:g:5TkAAOSw17hcwyj6 *Note to self: stop drinking in the week.It's the early ones that are the worst. It was only really when they introduced zetec 16v engines and fiddled with the chassis did they become acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaughant Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Recon gearbox, new clutch and labour ? About £800 Value fixed ? 1200 Yeah. That's about right.To be fair they aren't TOO hard to work on as the front bonnet comes off pretty easily to give loads of access (not necessary really on just a box) then it's nuts and bolts stuff. Certainly doable on the drive, deffo in the garage and with a lift it's pretty pips. I changed a seized* engine in one with my mate and it was out on the floor within a couple of hours or so (admittedly using a 2 post lift)...... Unfortunately when he swapped over the engine the next day he decided to see what was causing the seizure on the old one, yes jammed solid as diagnosed by the garage, however after removing the gearbox and starter it miraculously started turning over by hand. Starter tested, seized solid..... Ooops. Still it ran nice afterwards and the other engine was sold on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lesapandre Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 That XJS looks tasty, but not so sure about the “superior condition” claim. The Pre-HE ones really do look amazing in that sort of mustard yellow for some reason, like an old Volvo 240.This one for sale by Mulliner Ltd...not to be confused with Bentley coachbuilders HJ Mulliner - "Mulliner" which is now the personal commissioning department for Bentley...
