It's nice to have the car sitting in the garage and to have it out on sunny days

Couldn't agree more,i'm about to do some miles around the Pennines and lake district to run mine in and i'm really looking forward to just driving it and not going mental speeds everywhere.
Matt regarding the sale, as this is your toy you can only replace it with another better toy, selling to buy a run of the mill smoker or lesser car is a bad idea as you'll regret it every time you drive it.
3dr Cosworth in a mint and modified condition are really really thin on the ground Matt so i would strongly advice you kept hold of it if even in storage.
Plus theirs the money mate, i know what it cost you for the underside and can roughly guess how much you have after that and some of those quotes above don't even come close to what it should be worth.
Keep hold mate it's the arse end of the season, put away and bring back out in spring
