in certain lights the petrol blue ones do look a bit like mallard, but if you say that to the owner they normally get a bit upset
a bit like when people tell me my car is auralis blue

Mine's petrol blue & is a small turbo.

There's a photo of it in the rear spoilers thread but at the moment I can't remember what my login is for the photo thingy & thus can't post it here.

I'll try & sort that out later.

RSCosworth 330: I went to look at this with a friend the other week who was looking to buy an escort cosworth. One big thing shouted put at me when viewing it....the flap by the drivers seat where you view the vin number was the wrong way round and we could not lift it as the seat was in the way. Now maybe im being a bit cynical but to me that just didnt seem right It also had half the heat shield missing due to god knows what and had a lot of moisture in the headlights. If youre tempted though go for it

TBH matey it was a bit of a flying visit for me as I had to be somewhere so missed a couple of the points you've mentioned. I did notice the headlamps being very damp but didn't lift the bonnet as like I say I was in a rush With regards to the vin number cover being the wrong way round (I didn't spot this either ) I know what you mean, this in itself is only a small problem obviously but it then leads you onto wondering WHY is it the wrong way round doesn't it??
