The hunt for a 22B
 

So I am on the hunt for a 22B and i am really hoping to find one where the drivetrain is missing or not usable. I saw a 22B for sale on this forum (was willing to split the motor and trans from the car) but it was sold. I really would like a shell. I would like to put everything from my RSTI into a 22B. I was wondering if anyone might have any leads or insight.


Just to clarify, i would like a 22B and not a fiberglass/carbon body kit.

No a chance unless you're gonna part with £20k...even then I doubt you will find one as a project

Same here, think your going to struggle to find a shell.

It's good manners to say a 'Hello' first...

no chance at all unless you pay a large sum.

When was the last time you witnessed that on scoobynet :lol1:

Finding a 22b is one thing, let alone finding just a full bare shell! We have 3 replica fibreglass shells at work, one complete running ready to go, one waiting for an engine and one bare ready to build to spec. All type R shells with the 22B kits fitted. Half the price of a genuine one, and readily available

Thank you all for replying!!! :thumb: I do understand it is a tall order, and I figured this is a great place to start. I also understand that it won't be cheap, I will step up if it is right. :)

Don't know why the 22b causes Such a fuss

And there you go:cuckoo:

Dan - any links or photos?? Id settle for a replica based on a type R.

Me neither

Here you go!

Thanks Beastie! There is also one in Russia for sale. #207.

Any link? You might not know but I work in Russia but good condition here is poor condition everywhere else. Roads are shocking.

Cheaper one here: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C724748 its 371

Dan, what's the drive in/out conversion cost, bodywork only?

What happened?!?!?

I wish they were steel panels, but they are beautiful!!!

Fancy a proper Prodrive WRC car ?

Can be had for around the same price as some of these 22B's banded about

Cheers Ian

This one does have steel panels, its genuine!!! its been freshly painted as we have sold it!!!

Rats, like i stated, looking for a genuine shell!!! :D

Depends what you want really, full hit, all done, including full repaint is in the region of 6k, that's with all rust treated windows out the lot.

Hello Ian! Thank you very much but as hard as the goal will be to accomplish, I am going to stick to my goal. I really want to build a 22B to my specs.

if you had come to me 6 months ago, this was available, but now being built to customer spec engine wise, a monster and half it will be when finished. The shell is a genuine 22b, fully seam welded full rally spec. it was the help for heroes car we ran a few years ago.

:brickwall

Well, this is the second shell that i have come across that i have missed but at least this one was only by six months! So i am getting closer!!!!!

That WRC prodrive genuine rally car looks the nuts. I can't even imagine what that would be like to drive legally on the road??

TBH its horrible , the carbon clutch is either on or off , it has no rear diff , it has a spool , which is basically a solid axle , so hops and skips about low speed turning , parking ect , it uses race fuel which is £4 a litre and does a mile a litre !!

But flat out its the best thing since sliced bread :thumb:

Did an event last year which we finished 1st overall , some incar here , SOME SWEARING so not work safe lol

Saved for later viewing pleasure :)
