they had a series 1 rs turbo there when i went there, i asked them how much do they want for the car complete as it was, they said Ł500, but it would have been spares only.

Found another just this morning. There were someroad works so I went down a back street to go round and noticed this in a builders yard. XR4i. Brother said he can see it from his mates bedroom, and has been there at least 4 years that he's known.

I know what you mean. If soemone was up my yard taking photos I'd think they were doing their homework before robbing something. But I was on my way to a meeting in a Ł600 Paul Smith suit in my scooby, so wasn't as if I got out of an old Fiesta in a tracksuit

I do know of this car and the owner will not part with it, I find it quite sad that someone can own something as desirable yet have no intention of restoring it or selling it so that someone else can restore it. The guy has owned it for many years and it has obviously stood in that spot for a good number of them.

Love this thread, though its sad to see so many dying fords . Its criminal that the people that own these cars just leave them to rot when others like are selves are prepared to restore them !

that RS3100 is absolutely criminal
