Most people have no idea what a Quantum is, in view of this I would expect the car to be cloned into another type of kit car to avoid IVA. I heard on radio2 that there were no prosecutions for vehicle cloning in the entire country last year. Our Quantums are virtually XR2's which are becoming ver

If you think about it, is it really any different to when most Quantum's were made. A donor Fiesta was scrapped (which may have been able to be repaired and put back on the road) to be a donor for a Quantum. All he is doing is the opposite, using a Quantum as a donor for a Fiesta. A shame if yo

That does sound weird, if he's doing this to make money selling parts, then you'd think he'd sell the shell. Any value in a quantum reg number if you put it back on a fiesta? > On 21 Oct 2014, at 11:08, "Jim Hearne" wrote: > > Sorry, i meant added to a blocked buyer list (yes, you can do this)

If you want to keep your quantum, don't sell it ;-). If you want to keep other people's then buy them too. Sport to say but that's the way of the world. Overall he'll be increasing your sale value if there is still desire by making them rarer ;-) > On 21 Oct 2014, at 10:58, "Jim Hearne" wro

Sorry, i meant added to a blocked buyer list (yes, you can do this). Also, Quantum owners might wish to make sure they don't buy from him either. Quite surprised he would rather destroy the shell than sell it though. Unless you had a big bonfire I'd have thought it would be hard to dispose of.

Unfortunately, he is probably correct, Quantum's would have typically had a lot less use and have parts in better condition than the remaining Mk1/2 Fiestas around. So they are a good source of parts. Can you reveal the ebay ID of the buyer so that at least he could be added to the blocked sel

It is with some sadness to report, that Quantum Mk1 chassis 009 has been stripped of its parts and the shell now being destroyed after being sold on EBay, this was a perfectly road worthy car at point of sale. There has been a considerable effort behind the scenes to save the shell. However, the
