I've looked at a good few myself stu, the most recent 1 I went to look at was a supposed ''mint'' 4wd....that smelled damp,had 2 new floorpans and apparently 2 passenger side doors....turns out the whole car was bent and none of the panal gaps matched!
I know what you mean though about the minters generally being crap, I think people think just cause it carries a cosworth badge its worth 5k regardless of the condition
Shame really cause it makes it hard for genuine sellers to get what there car is worth!
I like the sound of the chrystal blue, you dont see many of them about! cheers for that mate!
