Where's all the T5's at?

[Tomcat]

Is there something I don't know or are 850 T5's getting that rare now?, after realising that there's probably no way I can afford another R (yet at least) I thought I'd have a look for just a T5 instead. After having a look on Ebay there doesn't appear to be any, where the hell are they all?.

[merc85]

All bin broken mate doh

[Santa]

Think the 850's are getting rare mate. Being broken for bits, coming to natural ends and those that bought them for winter running.

Maybe look in March?

[Tomcat]

This is looking very grim indeed....may be time to move on if I can't find something this year I think.

[t5 pete]

Yep the 850 t5's are becoming very hard to find espically in good condition aswell

[Kingsford G]

I`ve got one if u want.Let me know if interested.Estate.

[Tomcat]

I'd need a little more info to go on lol..

[Saaamon]

Took me 3weeks to find one with a half decent spec in manual. Also any 850s including R's will need a few bit doing to get it up to scratch in my opinion.

[WOODY T5]

[nobananas]

Seems to happen that way with certain motors. They're everywhere you look and suddenly you don't see them anymore. Even the old 96' laguna estates like the one I sold a few months ago suddenly seem to have dissapeared. When I think back to all the old hum-drum motors I used to have that are suddenly becoming worth something when they turn up on ebay makes me wish I'd kept half of them. I even watched a MK2 Cavalier SRi fetch £3500 on ebay a few months back, I gave one away a couple of years ago !

I hope the Mods will excuse the link going in this thread but in the context, I found this although it has an iffy gearbox. However, there is a replacement gearbox included........

Honda Civic Sport, the Acclaim was just a rebadged Civic saloon but used the Sport engine. The engines a nice unit, all alloy and light enough to lift unaided (I know this because I still have one kicking about in the shed that I keep having to move out of my way !). I'm waiting for the Civic to rise in value so I can sell it and retire on the proceeds (I only intend to live for a few days after I retire !)

[Rudeyboy18]

Theres an 850 T5 for sale near me in wiltshire for £500. Olive green. 165K, Taxed and tested

[inde_house]

I brought an 850 t5 a few months ago for 500 pounds.

Taxed and tested. In good condition.

Since then I have spent about 1200 pounds sorting brakes including stainless braided lines. Polybushing engine bay . service. Replacing brake fluid and may of recommended stage 0 parts.

Had the windows tinted. Winter wheels (already had tyres) and currently have plans for more handling mods. Exhaust and a bit more power.

So I guess the point that im getting at is if you get one and become attached its gunna cost more then just 500 pounds
