Hi Julian,

£5K Project
£10-15K Good Example
£20K+ Restored as new.
£40K+ Historically Interesting (ex competition/factory etc)

Cheaper in France.

I know someone that wants it if you don't! Please pass on the contact number.

not really, as there aren't any for sale, there's guys on forums over in france screaming out for them and nothing available......germany maybe,

i had a search and found 7varying from 16000euros to 30000, and they may even be old ads.

Thanks for the info guys, hopefully will get to hear from the owner before the end of the week now that i have managed to track him down.

The word on the street is that he is quite keen to part with it

totaly amazing cars, theres a few mint ones on RTOC ,
they normly go for around 12k-15k for a good one,

Best not to think at all about that one

I think you'll find Jules is considering one much closer to home

phew

went to see that one on ebay about 4-5years ago

gutted when he said he'd sold it but oh so glad now i didn't go near!

I wonder if it has 2 gear sticks too?

not yet you will have to fit the second yourself as it's an unfinished project

Its a good idea and I believe its been done before on an original 5 with 2 atmo Gordini engines....but its a nightmare of a job!!!! Looking at it, the metres of box section masquerading as a roll cage doesnt bode well for the quality of workmanship. It'll be a brave soul who takes it on!

you got me thinking that the r5t2 i'm after will probably prove to big a bigger bag of rubbish than the ebay version Ain't heard from the guy yet but just chased my contact up so hopefully will see some action tonight...he has a deadline of 12th sept

That twin engine business was mad....i saw a vw corroado once with that arrangements, different engine at each end and 2 loud pedals...i think it was a handfull by all accounts one pedal into the corner and the other out! Still, if you want 2 gearstick they don't come much better than a mitsubushi colt circ. 1977, had one once, f*&'in nightmare, the only car i had stolen and returned in the same evening.
