As I said in my post above, I'm 50 yrs old nearly and Cossies still do it for me, whether I'll have another I doubt it.
Wow, you've had a 22b as well! Don't think I've even seen one. Mine is the same colour (MY2000 turbo in sonic blue) and is about as mint as you will ever find. I do love it but will be selling next year.

But Cosworths still hold a special place in my heart, they are absolutly fantastic cars that are great fun to drive, easy to improve & still look stunning IMHO.
If you are buying a Cosworth to be the fastest thing on the road, you are going a very hard way about it, but if you want a car that makes you involved, then you can't go wrong.
Personally I think I'd be at my limit paying 10k for a saff, but undoubtedly if you want the best you will be paying much more, but for me then you can't use it for fear of devaluation.
The last few times I've taken my cosworth out I haven't even put my foot down and still loved every minute. I'm so not bothered about it going fast, I just love the smell of it, the looks and the nostalgia. These along ensure I've got a silly grin on my FB r every time I drive it.
