My recently restored Dedra finds itself potentially being surplus to requirements, as with a lot of people who acquire projects they become less and less used once completed and I have a similar car sat idle in the integrale.
For those that don't know the car I bought it 2 or 3 years ago with the intention of it being a quick fix up job and use it. As we all know it never turns out that way.
Besides the inevitable welding repairs needed the seats needed a retrim, the engine got stripped and rebuilt, turbo was professionally rebuilt, new clutch etc plus the wheels were properly refurbished being done as per OE in diamond cut with the spokes inset done in grey.
The build thread is below if I've done it right...

As for price it's a hard one to say as these so rarely come up for sale. I know I won't get my money back let alone make a profit but I can at least say I've saved another car!
The last nice Dedra I saw for sale was a 1.8 from memory, a low miles one I know, but that was around £8k I seem to recall. This being a restored, rot free turbo that needs nothing doing ought to be a better bet?

I'll be at Burghley House on Octobder 8th for the MITCAR event if anyone is interested in seeing the car, maybe with a view to making an offer..
I'd still sell if anyone was interested although I do enjoy driving it, far more discreet than the integrale and more civilised to boot.

With winter soon here if anyone is interested in a now fully sorted Dedra turbo please about soon as it will be going on SORN at month end.
I will then decide over the coming months if I can justify keeping it and the integrale, plus the Flavia is now on with repairs so thinning the fleet would be sensible.
I've done a good few short and long trips now and it is perfect, a very nice drive and to be honest it's surprised me how well it is received, I didn't expect many people to know what it is!
Everything works as it should, even the electronic suspension!

Did a near 200 mile round trip to The Motorist yesterday, a great drive and mixing with some nice company!

I did put an optimistic, don't want to sell price on it at MITCAR of £14,750 which in reality isn't that bad looking at the ones abroad that range from 10,000 Euros to near double that, and LHD of course.

So offers are considered in the 5 figure range

Or it will just go under cover for the winter and I'll decide in the spring what to do.

Nice to meet you Kevin at Sherburn. As Kevin says this car is absolutely immaculate and a credit to his hard work.
