This is the extremely reluctant sale of our RS2000. due to a young family and impractical usage.  We've owned it for about 10yrs and bought it from a family member. It comes with a fairly extensive file including many. many receipts over the decades. previous MOT certificates and the original green V5. It's been dry stored with very occasional summer use some years. but has currently no MOT or TAX. I've probably covered a total of less than 1000 miles.  It starts fine. runs very cleanly and previously passed MOT without concerns. I had in mind to restore. but in honesty will never have the money; so wish to let some other enthusiast have their chance. This car is well above average condition. which I hope shows in the photos. I've tried to include the bad areas also. and will be honest in answering any questions as well as my knowledge allows. It has not had the valves worked for unleaded. as for the mileage I prefer to use the additive.

There is a 5 speed gearbox but no limited slip diff. as it wasn't what I was into; but I had a new cam. nbsp;new carbs and new 4 branch fitted last year to have the classic sound - hence there is no radio. I've had other RS owners previously view the car and along with my own investigating. conclude that the shell is a true Type 49. It has been repaired by past owners but lots of the tell tale signs are there.

It has a very small rust hole in the driver's front wing (in photo). slight rust at window rubber (in photo). a hairline crack showing at rear below back window above where boot hinge would be. there is sealer on shell floor. the driver's seat mechanism needs repaired (in photo). all seats are good apart from small repair to rear. front inner wing repair (in photo) and driver's door needs good shut to close.

The body is good. the engine is good and it drives true. and would no doubt MOT again this year. It has an GB reg as oppose to NI. and I would assist in transporting to GB if needed. as long as my basic costs were covered.

I have no desire to sell before auction ends. as I think it unfair to the others. All the best. Brian.
