[quote][i]Originally posted by SVM 286[/i] No mate, motorsport shells were bare white painted strengthened shells with welded cages directly from motorsport division. You could either have bought one of these or what was classed as a 'trimmed' shell. These were the basic (preferable) non sunroof shell (also in white) that came with all looms, plus glass, lights, door and 1/4 panel cards, dashboard, sound proofing, carpets, and spoilers. In fact everything but engine, all running gear, wheels and seats. These were preferable and ideal for economic reasons if you were going to clubman race or enter grp N where as the motorsport shells were for international rallies, and would have been supplied to people like Graham Hathaway Racing for engine install - supplied by Mountune usually (motorsport engine gods), and final prep. Both shells were approx 6.5 - 7.5K when new in 1993 depending on spec. I know this because I investigated it pretty seriously at the time (still got Motorsport build manual and part number lists) as I was going to build a road car using a new shell and a salvaged Sierra 4X4 or a combination of new and used bits, but turned out financially to be totally out of my reach in the end (badly let down by solicitors in 5 year long personal injury claim). Will deffo do it one day though, probably won't be able to find a motorsport shell now though. Will just have to settle for the next mint unused white or black road car that comes along when i've next got 25K to burn along with endless spending on engine build and prep. ;) [/quote]
