Blatman Posted July 1, 2003 Author Posted July 1, 2003 Still got it, so now I'll take whatever I can get for it.......... Make me a (non derisory, non insulting) offer........
Westfieldman Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 Just sell the bits like LSD gearbox and rear brakes for £250 and burn the rest. Go on you know you want to or Steve D could burn it for you. As he likes burning Ford engines. Paul.
Jon Murray Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 Just for the record: 4x4 Cossie = T5 gearbox XR4x4 = MT75 gearbox (a bit more fragile in my previous XR4x4 owning experience - maybe it was my driving style! ) I still recon the XR4x4 is a very underrated 'sporting' Ford - they'll be collectable in the future in my opinion! Jon
Blatman Posted July 1, 2003 Author Posted July 1, 2003 The MT75 in the XR isn't suitable for fitting in to a Westfield, 'cos it had a massice transfer box for the front drive on it......Pre 89 XR's had a modified type 9 in them, IIRC...... And as Jon says, it's definitely under rated as far as "performance" saloons go. The transmision is as quiet now as it was when new, 'cos I looked after it....... It'd be a great starting point for a resto project, or a pretty decent tow car/run-about.......... Steve M Backatcha......
smayo Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Blatman, Have you tried advertising it here. Its the XR owners club site (I think). Got the link off a guy I work with who is a member of their owners club. He said that there may well be people there interested either for parts or purely to strip down as a track day car. smayo
Blatman Posted July 14, 2003 Author Posted July 14, 2003 Smayo. Thanks for the link. I was an XROC member (for 5 years) until it came up for renewal last time......... I have submitted an ad there. We just need to see if it gets past their admin fella.........fingers crossed........ Wroxy More than the purple pimpmobile
sedsy Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 I have a 4x4 owner friemd who may want it for spares !! will ask him and get back to you !! What will you take for it and where do you hail ??
Blatman Posted July 15, 2003 Author Posted July 15, 2003 I'll take a sensible offer, bearing in mind that it is currently still (just) road legal in all respects. I'm in North/West London, but I'll happilly travel (a bit) to get shot of it.......
DickieB Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 OK, I'll now consider derisory offers Are we still talking about the Sierra?
Blatman Posted July 27, 2003 Author Posted July 27, 2003 Depends who's offering what Everything I have is for sale, it's just the price.........
samcooke Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 ebay with no reserve is the way to go. Friend of mine had an 'average' 924 race car that he couldn't out for £500, put it on with no reserve... ... £1400 !
