Rocket For Sale
Hi guys. Due to an ever closing wedding day and health issues, I am reluctantly having to put my Rocket up for sale ?.
It's a MK1 fitted with a 1.8 black top Zetec and is at worst, 95% finished prior to going on the road.
It has all is body work, seats are fitted and come with 4-point harnesses. The car is in great condition and just wants a couple of weekends spending on it now.
It needs the following doing to be finished;
- Rear engine cover to cut and hinged lid to be sorted.
- Airflow meter & original air box installing or a bypass fitting.
- Fuel cap and hose to fuel tank installed. It currently has the fuel cap fitted direct onto the tank.
- Water expansion tank securing with a bracket.
- A new steering wheel. I was going to go down the route of a Momo or similar.
- Brakes need bleeding.
- Front indicators securing.
- Plastic trims on leading edges, headlight adjustment, etc and other small jobs to get it through an ISVA and then it's ready for the road.
It comes with 3 X sets of wheels:
- 15" TSW with new Yoko tyres
- 15" Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2 lightweight wheels. They are finished in Matt black and only one has a slight Mark. Other than this they are mint. They come with poor tyres but ideal for moving the car around if you are thinking of tracking the car.
- 15" Image Split Rims. These are awesome wheels and from a quick trial fit look spot on. These are over £230 each new.
This car was one of two which Stafford College bought for apprentice car mechanics to learn the trade. I have a scrap book which details the build up to where it is now. The engine seems to have been checked over, gaskets replaced and repainted so the build has been done properly and not rushed. RTR remember this far as it was one of two which were sold in kit form.
Included in the sale is a carbon fibre bonnet which was bought not so long ago from RTR. These seem pretty rare and looks great.
I also have a complete Ford Focus which had an MOT until recently. I got this in case I needed any spares, etc. It's up to the buyer whether they want it but maybe of some use to someone and it was cheap ?.
My wedding is looming and the sale of my beloved Rocket will help release some much needed cash flow as most on this forum will know all about!
I'm open to sensible offers and want it to go to a good home. It's located in Whitchurch, Shropshire. I can help deliver the car for a small fee if the buyer is struggling for transport. I can also recommend a car transport business who are very competitive and very careful.
I'm away at the moment but can be contacted via text, Whatsapp or through a message on the forum.
Any questions or me know.
