Guest James Hockley Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hi All Ive recently acquired a 1991 Mk5 Cab. I have some experience with cars having built kit cars etc in the past along with modding others. Im trying to decide whether to keep the car as a project or sell it. Could someone give me an idea of its value? 1.6l with 71k on the clock. It has been sat in a barn at my father in laws for at least 10 years and hasn't been touched. The roof doesn't close properly (about 1/2 inch short). Oil looks to be in good nick and short of a very good valet its a nice car with zero rust anywhere although i suspect tyres will be needed. Im undecided whether to create a Cossy rep or let it go.... Thanks James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian71 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Am rebuilding one myself at the moment,unfortunatly they not realy worth alot at present,parts are not easy to source as they were only built for a couple of years, i think in time the values will go up , as for making into a cossie replica , well you would be doing it for yourself as again you can spend thousands but not worth much once its done. Good luck with the car i would keep it standard if i were you if its that clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian71 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 If the roof is vinyl its prob shrunk, mine did, i bought a replacement roof complete in mohair and it shut strait away,i spent hours trying to get the old one shut. Replaceent new roofs are avaiable and cost anywhere between 300 and 500 fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RScab Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 This model was not the most desirable hence the lower value but that can some times be an advantage later on (not many people holding on to them) If its solid keep it original - think the prices will go up with time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
