Default 4x4 sapphire cosworth forsale (now sold)

have decided i want to build a 3dr track car and have found a shell, so decided to sell my sapphire cosworth.

i bought it just after christmas from a guy in Blackpool

its just about to turn 90k and has MOT till march next year and taxed till end of september

The shell has never been welded, the rear arches are completely rust free, the only bit of rust is a very small scab on the front drivers side lip.

The engine is very good, its running MSD wasted spark, has uprated fan loom. I've just fitted a brand new radtec alloy radiator. it has a pro alloy 500 intercooler.

Its running a T34.63, not very old and the engine does not smoke. When i bought it i was told it was running aprox 380 BHP and 400 lbft of torque. it goes very well.

It has the cloth interior which is in very good condition, but the door cards do have some shrinkage.

its lowered on Koni shocks and springs

Heres some pics









will put some better pics up later

looing for £7250 ono with comps or £6750 with standard sharktooth alloys running R888's on them

cheers, all comments welcome good or bad

If it doen't sell, i will break it as i should be able to get roughly the same money back for it in bits

i've decided its too good to break but would be open to px's on anything ford so WHY?

cheers Matthew

It might be worth adding that this belonged to Nick who used to work at MSD. I know the previous 3 owners and can vouch for this car. Certainly far too good to break. And looks great on those wheels.

Lovely looking motor. Wheels not really to my taste, I'd prefer the sharktooths myself, but really nice car anyway and I know a lot of people do like those wheels. Cracking car.
