Unhappy Part built Roadster for sale

As some of you will know, I am no longer going to continue with work on my Haynes Roadster. ( Purely down to personal reasons )

I have been fortunate enough to find a road registered 7
Although this is not my dream Roadster, it will do me just fine as I have come to the stage where all I want to do is to enjoy a little open top fun.
Just don't need the hassle of the IVA & dealing with DVLA in my life just now.

Just thought I would offer it to fellow forum members first before I explore other avenues of sale.

The Haynes Roadster in question could be best described as a rolling chassis, minus the wheels.

Here's a brief rundown of what's included in the sale.

Book spec chassis.
2mm alloy floor & 1.2mm alloy rear panel fitted.
There are some minor brackets still to be fixed but all of the major brackets are present.
Ideally once the brackets are all sorted it could do with a good shotblast & repaint

Full set of Gaz shocks, These are to the revised book spec ( 1" extension )
These were purchased new & have never been used on the road.

Full set of wishbones, rear uprights, polly bushes, stainless crush tubes, new upper & lower front ball joints.

7 Piece Saturn body kit ( Post Office Red )

Nosecone, standard bonnet, scuttle, front wings, rear wings & Aeroscreen
Nose & scuttle has been fitted to the chassis so expect some holes.
Rest of the kit is as delivered.
Important note
The bodywork has some storage marks, light scratches etc but no serious damage.

Ford donor parts.
Sierra diff ( 3.62 ratio ) Push in drive shafts, rear drum brake assemblies ( New slave cylinders fitted ).

Sierra adjustable steering column, switch gear, cowls & steering wheel. ( The steering shaft has been extended )

Sierra front hubs, Calipers, disks, these are used parts & are as removed from the donor ( perfectly servicable )
Front hubs have been reamed to accept the Maxi ball joint & are fitted with the correct musroom adapters.

Used but lightly re-furbed Escort Mk2 Steering rack, new track rod ends & new rack gaitors.
Rally Design alloy rack mounts.
Temporary steering rack extensions ( Bright mild steel )

Ford Sierra donors V5, currently on SORN.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have no engine, gearbox or propshaft available as I am keeping these.

Will try & get some photos added just as soon as the wind stops howling ( Ain't much fun trying to cover it up again in the wind )

For sale as a package and an absolute steal at only £750 ( Not even going to entertain offers at this stage )
Why so cheap, I just want rid as it's in my way due to not having storage space for it.

Obviously, buyer would have to collect/arrange collection from West Cornwall .

As said, will get a couple of pictures up soon.

Roadster Sold

Hi Matt

Pm replied to

Kev

Yep, i'll still be lurking about on the forum

Did for a moment think that I would no longer be welcome ( Me being daft )

End of the day, I did build a Roadster & can still offer a few snippets of advice here n there.
