Quick history lesson on the car:

Original owner put 60,000 on the car and tried to px it for a 4x4 from Ford who offered him nothing for it so he placed it in a barn where it stayed for 8 years.
Trader managed to get it from by now elderly owner and sold it to me, I ran the car every day for over 6 years putting on nearly 70,000.

Only reason we sold it was to buy ourselves a 3 door Cosworth as a 25th wedding anniversary present. Used Saff in px with RSLubby on his 3 door who sold it on to Retrod.

So in reality the car has only had 3 proper owners with a mountain of traceable history and a fair bit spent on it over the years. Gearbox rebuilt, Group A headgasket, brand new diff bearings, brakes and calipers by myself plus the new upgrade Stage 3 by Andy (retrod). Bonnet came off a 4x4 as stated otherwise car is original.

Its a real nice Saff and did make the show report in last months Fast Ford for Castle Coombes so it cannot be that bad.
I will help anyone with any questions on the car if needed, might be slow answering as in Spain at the moment.

Good Luck with the sale Andy.

Take it to National Day Andy and put a For Sale sign in it, that will be your biggest RS based audience.

I still dont know if im doing the right thing .
But have you seen some of the shit that you get for that money some pople are real dreamers where as this is a genuine car and worth every penny and more perhaps just the time of year mate
