Hi Guys,
Right, work have notified me of guarenteed employment for 5 years as long as i buckle down and work hard. The problem i have is, the cars i own are an Escort RS Turbo and a Fiesta RS Turbo. Work have informed me they want me to go on to do a degree which means commuting further for two days a week plus my usual work travel. The fiesta and the escort really arent viable for this simply because of any maintainence issues or fuelling costs.
So i have decided i will keep my Escort RS Turbo as it is standard and has been in the family a few years and i will buy a brand new high MPG car. I have seen the one i want (citroen c1 -

), however because it is a limited edition version and its not out until march i need to whack a deposit down ASAP! - (money which i havent got).
So i am biting the bullet and i am selling my FIESTA RS TURBO.
I am looking for
£1900 Open to Offers for a Quick Sale
Now for the spec:
The car has only done 95,000 miles with previous MOT's to prove this.
I believe i am the 11th owner of this vehicle and it was located around Blackpool for many years before moving to Scotland and has since returned to Blackpool for my ownership.
I have owned the car since September and paid £2500 for it. Since owning i have done the following modsand have spent over £1200.
- Uprated AP Organic Clutch - Fitted by Lewis
- Uprated Sytec Fuel Pump - Fitted by Lewis
- Brand New Pipercross Air Filter for T3 Conversion
- Has been to Motorsport Developments Twice for work - First for the 195 chip and remap. Second visit was to up the boost to 20psi after installation of the clutch and fuel pump
- Motorsport HT Leads
- Brand New Alternator
- Always run on Shell V Power
- Leather Genuine Fiesta Gear Gaiter
- High Quality Fitted Car Mats
- Heater Matrix (stopped working 1 month ago - probably something and nothing but i just havent the time to fix it)
- £90 Official RECARO Fitted Seat Covers
The spec of the car is as follows:
- Full T3 Conversion
- Beige Injectors
- Painted Black RS2000 Alloys with Red Rim
- Ofab mangment (the best of the 2)
- Cosworth one of custom front mount intercooler system
- Stage 3 t3 turbo
- full 3 inch scorpion exhaust system
- kent cvh 35 cam kit and vernier pulley
- 4x4 cosworth fuel pressure regulator setup
- Samco hoses
- Spec r breather system
- New suspension 45mm lowered
- Lots of chrome
MOT & TAX until March 2010.
As with any car there are always some slight niggles. The front passanger wheel bearing needs replacing as it is making a slight noise and the heater matrix has stopped working. The is a couple of stone chips as expected and the odd under paint blemish but apart from that the body work is excellent condition and doesnt look like an 18 year old car.
So basically this car will be sold and the money will be used as a deposit, however i will still own an RS Turbo so don't worry!
I am not overly desperate to sell, however come March i will be Sorning the vehicle and it will be kept under cover until sold. As said i am looking for a quick sale, so if i don't receive any genuine interest by mid week i will putting it on eBay.
These pictures are old but i will get some recent ones this week - however the car is no different apart from i have removed the bonnet raisers and placed a genuine RS Turbo sticker on the rear of the car.
Thanks,
Shep
