superdavelotus Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) I heard my old S4s which was in red with about that mileage was written off by it's current owner who lives in NW. It was absolutely mint as well prior to accident. Regards, David Walters Edited June 29, 2015 by superdavelotus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tocus Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 I want the wheels! are they for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdavelotus Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Give them a call and see. I assume it's the same car. The current owner is called Robert Weaks, he also had a brand new set of these OZ Futuras still in the box. Not sure what he's doing with them.

top-plumber Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Did you run a parts website Dave. I'm sure that car was on a site I visited. Did you have a silver V8 also? WayneThat looks like the car for sure. Wants 5k for the engine without the gearbox Bibs.

Bibs Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 You can new a "New Old Stock" S4 engine, zero miles for less from Garry Kemp. They're crooks at Douglas Valley for their prices, liars and very rude to boot.

I have cash waiting if he's willing to sell Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillidoggy Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 It's listed as Cat B, so it's junk. No-one would want to buy it, even if it could be repaired. Sad, but true. Quote Margate Exotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted June 30, 2015 Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Bloody insurance companies.......that looks about the same as swindon_alan's green car on here which he's done a stunning job putting right.

superdavelotus Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Hi all, I don't have the PO contact details unfortunately as it was over 10 years ago when I sold it to buy my V8 which I still have. You could try PNM for his details as he was a regular customer and knows Pete very well. Hi Wayne, Yes it was me who used to have that site but it I gave it away to NW Lotus and sadly the owner passed away last year.

Advantage Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Depends if the chassis is bent. Ignoring the obvious deflection of the rear wheel (which may just be suspension damage), the front wheel has biffed a hole in the sill and the rear hatch doesn't close properly. I suspect it's a banana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it's a banana. I believe this is what Douglas Valley refer to as a "drive away, light fibreglass damage" vehicle. 1 Quote Vanya Stanisavljevic '91 Esprit SE | '97 XK8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
