Well done LondonTom nice little mark up, but why anybody wants to pay this kind of money for a popular plus is beyond me. Never liked these cars years ago not even the RS and still dont.

Rust free unwelded 2dr shell.

E30's might hit that one day.

Cheers guys.

Most of the value in the base models is in the shell - a fully prepared group 4 rally shell from Gartrac will cost you over £100k I believe.

Little things like being an auto is actually a bonus to the rally car builders as it's a bigger tunnel than the manual and this car in question, doesn't need any welding at all.

I think e30's and e36 compacts will only go the same way - well fingers crossed!

Ah didnt think of that lads about the shell for rallying. Be nice to think e30's going the same way.
