I'm a massive RS fan, that looks a nice 90's spec you've got. Price wise (I saw what it was) you can probs get more.
How many miles it on ? What's it had done to it ?

cheers to be honest i think its worth more but i will more than likely do a deal against another car rather than sell it outright. The current spec is:

ENGINE: 1.8zvh hybrid (1.6cvh head, 1.8 zetec bottom end), 0.5mm oversized pistons bringing overall bore of the engine to 1.9 litres, fully balanced crank, stage 3 head, newman cam with solid lifters, piper vernier pulley, collins chip, stage 2 hybrid t3 turbo with 360 bearing, GRS intercooler with kenlow fan, copper cored radiator, scorpion exhaust, k+n air filter, baileys dump valve header tank, samco hoses

TRANSMISSION: AP CP2000-8 clutch, standard rs turbo lsd gearbox

BRAKES: front - 283mm cosworth discs, standard calipers. rear - 2wd cosworth calipers and discs, braided hoses, rs 2000 handbrake cable.

SUSPENSION: adjustable koni shocks with avo 25mm lowering springs.

The last rolling road figure for this car was 198bhp and 213ibft at jamsport but after the runs the owner at the time was told that basically the cam was knackered so i have now changed it from the old phase 2 newman to a phase 4 race item. Me and my father have also developed a twin swirl pot/ oil seperator system to aid the cars breathing since this figure was attained. This figure was only at 7psi to and my usual level is around the 14psi mark. It will be going to be setup within the next few weeks were i hope to make 230bhp or there abouts.

as you can see from some of the pics (lack of carpets and interior) i have been over it with a fine tooth combe this winter to ensure it is in as good condition as possible.

The shell itself has done 120k from new (service stamp/ mot verified) which for a near enough 20 year old car is good going
 
I reckon you'll get more than you want for it, folk on passionford etc will buy it, try Pistonheads too. The mods sound nice & the powers not bad at all.

Tbh, if you can keep it, keep it, as you know decent ones are very hard to come by. I spent about six months some eight years ago hunting, I never found one.
If I had the space i'd have one tucked away in the garage.

love this shot of it too. I see what you mean about keeping it, we have a white cosworth rs500 in the lock up too at the moment. With my daily commute being about 50 miles i really dont want to be using this anymore and i dont think i would be able to afford to buy another good quality car without geting a loan etc so it may have to go :(

its not advertised currently, this car is pretty well known in my area and by members of passionford so there is already a list of people who want it lol. The fact is im looking for a 172 so a deal on here would probably be best
