    I've kept all my cars bar three only had five since passing my drivers test.One was scrapped as it was a rot box that was my first car. The second written off in an accident and the third I sold when I moved over here,which I'm still kicking myself for.....😱😱

     

    The two I've bought since moving out here my99 STI TypeR and my defender I'll not be getting rid of and I hope to pass on to family one day.......👍🏻👍🏻

    We all had to start somewhere I guess. Just wondering where everyone started off originally with their first ever 'performance' car.

     

    Not sure it was ever brought to NZ, but mine was an MG Maestro 1600. Pretty advanced in is day being the first ever fully CAD production car. Came with an R series motor (developed from an an Allegro/Maxi motor IIRC) with twin Weber carbs. Biggest thing of note was the talking solid state 'digital' dashboard which was very Knight Rider-ish in its day!

    A Fugly looking car, but I loved it :$

     Went on to own MGs for many years after that so it obviously wasn't all that bad a car 9_9

     

    My auntie had the 2.0l version as a company car back in the late 80's and yes agreed it was proper Fugly indeed.......😝😝😝

     

    First performance car was a my96 V2 STI and had her for 10yrs and only sold her before I moved out here......👍🏻

    Nothing used to give me greater pleasure when back in the UK in my old job sticking people on for driving whilst using a mobile phone. Usually it wasn't the fine (£60) that the driver was bothered about it was the 3 points that went with it that was going to have some affect on next years insurance renewal.

     

    Ive seen worse driving into Wellington on the motorway a driver with her laptop open on her lap whilst driving. I was absolutely gob smacked.....😳😳😳

    My guess is that it will either be stripped and parts sold off or its making its way somewhere in a container my guess would be Eurpoe.

    Professional car thieves will have the kit and know how to change the vehicles ID or even know somebody at its final destination with the know how.

    Whatever its a true shame as its a nice and as stated above a sought after model.....

    Opinions please - whats my car worth?

    You have a well specked up Scooby there pal lots of very sweet parts and no doubt a lot of time and money gone into it.

    I'm taking a guess around the 12k to 14K mark but the sad thing is these days lots of people want everything for almost nothing these days and its only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it.

    Also depends on how quickly you need it sold too. If your not in a hurry the right price will come around eventually.... :):)

    Personally it seems that you have plenty of time and space in that cracking looking workshop. Id be tempted to pull to the engine take off everything thats salvageable and bin whats left. Then strip the engine down to the bare components then you can let the dog see the rabbit as it were.

    Then that will give you a better understanding of the engine and what you'll need to replace or upgrade...... :):)
