I can vouch for the car, it is absolutely mint (I supplied lots of the parts for it), and John has owned it for fucking forever, with the maority of the time spent off the road being fettled and tweaked to his very exacting standards, which means it has been treated better than his wife . When he phoned me the other day to tell me he was selling it, I could hardly beleive it, as he has JUST got it to the exact way he wanted it, with the hydraulic clutch and 6-speed gearbox conversion .

You should ask him for pictures of how the cage is fitted, the seats have been cut and retrimmed to go round them in the back as if the car came from Ford with a cage in . Attention to detail like this is mind blowing. Also being an engineer by trade, he made the fuel system cradle out of two new original items, so again it looks like Ford did it .

You have to see this car in the flesh to appreciate the time, money and effort that has gone into it. The car is one of the best built Sapphires in the country, and I think I'm qualified enough to know what constitutes a car of that level, so DEFINITELY not your normal ebay tat.... .
