Need help

I have seen a 7 for sale:

 

spec 91 long cockpit car, live axel, discs all round alcon caliper up front, 4000k miles from new quaife lsd and straight cut box 4 speed. 220 bhp ford 2.0l zetec engine.

 

What should i be paying for a car like this??

[julians]

No idea really, £10k maybe???

[Ferrino]

Think it'd be worth more than 10 grand. Sounds like a quick car with some nice bits. Does it have a Ford or Ital rear axle?

David,

I have a live axel car, and to change to zetec or other, you need to spend allot of money.

 

the live axel needs to be english to take the power(£1000.00+ conversion with lsd), the rear prop shaft tunnel needs to be modified (free with DIY, but approx. £300 if yo have experts complete the task), the brakes need upgrading (upto 1k front and back!)and the engine!

 

Engine parts to allow fitment of a zetec into a Caterham can cost upto 1500 quid+ for the rolls royce parts (Raceline).

 

The gear box could be worth £800+ second hand!

 

So, on a live axel 91 car worth approx £8-9k in average nick, you can add possibly 6k to alter the car to meet the std you have seen! So approx. 12-13k max if in very good condition???????
