Breaking R21 Turbo - Ipswich

[bmw156]

Hey guys, new to the forum, but im breaking a R21 Turbo and thought this would be the best place for it lol.
it drives well, and no faults that i know off. test drives welcome to test engine/box.

all parts for sale.

please ask.
more pictures on request.

please feel free to phone/text me on 07906232691
located in ipswich/suffolk
would probably sell for a whole for the right price, but no MOT or tax and crack in windscreen
just a quick edit: if anyone knows abnything about the car and its history, please inform me, i have already been told it had a rebuild under 20k ago, and it feels like it has while driven. but no paper work to show this.

Hi
Its my old car, I posted on the other forum.
I sold it to a guy in brentwood with a years mot and 6 months tax for ?660
Before that I did a full engine rebuild at 138K ish inc
top/bottom gaskets
piston rings
non oem oil pump
lightened fly wheel
and had it dyno'd at 205bhp and 239ftlb@14psi
When I sold it to him I told him it needed the suspension turret welded asap, I guess its not been done?
It was a quick car for the setup

small world! lol

Just looked back on retro rides, you got it to break it?

 

[bmw156]

hey andy, nice to see a previous owner

we got it of a guy in norwich, tall skinny chap. he said he used it daily for a while, while it had MOT and tax etc.
it now has a cracked windscreen, massivly bald tyres where he has been track daying it. rot on the rear passenger arch, and yeh rot in the driver turret.

its only on 144k i think, so its rebuild was 6k ago
and yeh its fooking quick IMO (on a private road)

there seems to be something up with the brakes, and the steering doesnt feel connected to the wheels lol. but maybe thats standard

and yeh most likely breaking it.

I'm sure I sold it on 142-143K18 months ago, and it sounds like the guy I sold it to then sold it to the guy you'v bought it from.
Are the front tyres 195/50/15 yoky 539's?

 

[shep]

small world! lol

How much for the whole thing with a view to saving it?

 

[bmw156]

lol, it may seem steep, but IMO its worth that in parts.
just because i bought it for less doesnt mean im going to loose money on it!

what would you pay for it!

without t+t and needing work it aint worth alot m8,ive bought 5 of these cars highest i paid was ?570 (and it had tax) lowest was ?140(no t+t needing work,a windscreen and heater matrix)
i dont really like to see these getting broke all the time unless they are beyond repair as they are getting rare now but if you want to try and get near your ?750 youll have too unless you get very lucky.

 

[bmw156]

thanks for the info
i understand a car with no T&T with work needed, will never get to 750,
but i would be stupid to sell it for 300 say.
me and a mate are happy to put the work in, to break it and it doesnt bother me.

p.s PM's replied to

 

[Andyquadra]

Sorry for the harsh reply
But at best I value the car in parts at
gearbox, anything up to ?250 IF you find a kit car mug at the right time, normally ?50-150 so ?100
engine, well they don't sell for ?150 on ebay
stainless exhaust, at best ?50
leather ?0
the rest ?5-10 for bits and bobs
clutch hydraulics ?35
wheels ?20

As a whole car with the welding done and a years mot, well like I said I sold it 18 months ago with a years mot and 6 months tax for ?660

 

[danb]

give ya ?50 for the gearbox

 

[Tony]

I paid 150 for mine needing a head gasket 6 month's ago. I could break her for more but i try and save them. If you wanna get shut for what you paid then i might be interested.

As for getting 750 for her no chance. I'm selling a working one with 12 months tax and test for not much more than that.

Both my quadra's cost me 700 and they both had tax and test and didn't need anything doing to them. Both of them were daily drivers untill 2 years ago when i decided to rebuild them.

 

[bmw156]

ok thanks for the help guys, ill keep it in mind when trying to sell parts

Just say what you think Andy, don't hold back, let it out....

LOL

At ?750, i'll politely decline.

 

[jonboy21t]

?750.00:scared::bolt: without tax & mot.....it'll dissolve before you get that for it.....good luck..!!
