Hi All, I’m new to the forum but been watching on and off for a while. I have had my 2+2 since building it in the early 90s and its been a great fun project both for driving and working on. I’ve got to that stage now where its not getting any attention so would like it to go to someone who can appreciate it.

As you can see in the pictures it is a mixture of the original diesel van and XR2 parts with a Ford 1.8 diesel engine that was retrofitted in the late 90s. I’ve had it running over the last few weeks and it all still works on very short runs, even the electric windows!

Please get in touch if you are interest in buying it at a sensible price. It will need collecting and I am in Leamington Spa in the Midlands.

To sumarise:

2+2 quantum doer upper on the original C plate from 1986 donor.

Ford 1.8 diesel 5 speed manual.

Runs well.

Finish is the original white gelcoat. Generally, in good condition with a small dink in the rear bumper.

Hood in good condition with zip out window - kept in garage so always dry.

Used regularly up until 2020 and serviced annually.

Tax currently SORN and MOT expired.

A number of spares: XR2 dashboard, door cards, cylinder head, boot gas struts, wheel trims, etc that can go with the car.

All original paperwork even the build manual, MOTs, service bills etc. and keys for everything.

Hi , you said “on the original C plate from 1986 donor.” , do you mean it’s still registered as a Fiesta on the V5 or does it say Quantum on the V5 ?

Hi Jim, Good question. It is registered as a Quantum 2+2 on the V5 but I kept the original number plate as I used enough parts from the donor not to have to get a Q plate.

That’s good, i was just checking, there are some kit cars still registered as the donor on the V5 which causes all sorts of issues.
I guess anything on the road would get picked up on a MOT nowadays but if they have been off the road for some time they could still be on a donor registration.
 
It’s funny, i wasn’t allowed to keep the original B registration on my 2+2 (registered in 1998) even though i had used enough parts not to get a Q reg.
Though, i’ve always been suspicious the DVLA wanted the donor plate as is was B911 something, nice for them to sell to a Porsche owner.
