How can you all go on about it not being "real"???? I shouldn't think there's many cars on here that haven't been rebuilt with aftermarket parts, patent parts, performance parts etc etc etc.....
Especially Porkie man! A Car with loads of little niggles and foibles???? Isn't that what Fords are all about? If my S2 started first time, everytime I got in it, I would be bored stiff of it in 5 minutes. I would also think someone swapped it for another car, but thats besides the point...
Buy the Kit Car. If you don't you'll grow old wishing you had.
