As a breaker, due you intend to break it yourself? If so it will require a lot of time and effort.If the car is complete,you always have the Ebay option.It will make at least 10k as a project.All imho.markey164 said:ragpicker said:Have we any pics or further info on this little gem yet?
Not yet! I've arranged to go and see it in a few weeks as I am out of the country at the moment . I've got a date of October 3rd. I'll post back some pics once I've seen it .
Still looking for thoughts on likely value, even as a breaker? I was thinking £2-3k but unsure of parts value for one of these.

New996buyer said:The good news is it's a wide body. You'd be advised to check that wide body is genuine and not a 1990's set of fibreglass wings? It's called a Supersport if it is (I think? Someone else will correct me on that if I'm wrong :grin: ) But if it is that's a desirable and rare thing. The other good news is all the body panels you'll need are available.
markey164 said:I did wonder if it was a Supersport. However, according to my research, a Supersport has Turbo brakes, which can be identified via the Calipers which are fitted to the rear of the hubs. On this one, the calipers are on the front of the hubs, suggesting this isn't a Supersport.
The 2nd observation, if you look closely at the front wheel arch, you can see a raised join, where it looks like the flared arch was attached to the original wing. I could be wrong, but that tells me this is an aftermarket conversion. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Is original more desirable than the Turbo look, considering the Turbo look (body and ducktail) has already been done on this car?
I am seriously tempted to go for it, but it all depends what the owner thinks it is worth. and I suspect that is going to be too much. We shall soon see
