The sierra has to go and will sell seperate by the looks of it. As all interest so far has been for it and not the kit, plus as it is not a pinto the engine wouldn't be much use to an exmo builder.

you can PM me here on the forum or send a message on gumtree using the link above to discus the sierra. ta

Thanks, it is an option to seperate and list. but absolutely will be a lot of work. I have an eBay business I run at present so listing, logistics and all things eBay are well covered. 

I think I have the same list in the paper work, thanks.

if no offers come in for the full kit I'll look at listing seperate, I will post up in here in the for sale forum before hand.

I wondered this. He must have known, I have a feeling this is why he never started the build, the sierra was sourced by another and dropped off for him almost as a favour. knowing him I think he was too polite to say it was the wrong one.

That settles the sell together/seperate dilemma

establishing sierra price is proving tricky, eBay may be best here let them bid it out and find its value. a lot of interest on gumtree but no offers yet.

finally got round to checking out the car and getting it on gumtree:

As predicted interest in the sierra is high. quite a few wanting it as a full restoration project. ill hold off till the end of the week and sell seperate if no offers come in for the kit and sierra.

Hoping to get over this week to get the pics and specs on the sierra, ill post back when I find out.

while its not great on the RH model front it does seem like most will shift if I cant find one person to grab the lot at a cut down price. other than that fingers crossed for aging sierra guy!

The more I've been reading up on these the more I'm seeing the exmo not being the one to go for. I'll try listing the whole lot and see how interest goes 'buy it now' if I fail to get a buyer ill start listing items separate.

Thanks again, good to get opinions on this stuff.

That makes sense, I didnt realise the cost of the IVA was so high.

The family would rather it got built and was used as it had been intended that would be the best outcome. Sadly it has sat in her garage/driveway for too long now and is now just a sad reminder and she wants it moved on. I'll try selling as a full kit with donor car / full kit on its own otherwise I will have to sell it in parts then.

Thanks for the info.

Hello,

A relative has asked that I arrange the sale of her late husbands kit car, however it is more advice that I am looking for at this stage.

kit is a RH EXMO kit purchased in 1996 and stored in a garage since then, she also has a sierra he purchased 10 years ago covered on the driveway.

kit is in good condition and all accounted for from what I can see, sierra hasn't ran for a few years but did run fine I'm told.

what should I do with it? is there any value in this model? should I become a rh member and list it all here? or should I sell it in parts on autotrader/gumtree/ebay? sell seirra as is or strip and scrap? no idea what route would be best here.

I am an engineer so stripping the sierra isn't an issue. Building the RH would be fantastic but I barely have time for my own projects as it is.

I'm going over next week to check sierra spec/condition/milage and get pics of everything to facilitate selling.

Any advice/opinions would be much appreciated.

thanks.
