Default 1999 Focus 2.0 Ghia, lightly modified £900

Hiya folks..

Now the kids are growing up the time has come to move Mrs Evans's Ford Focus 2.0 16v on to a new owner.

We have had the car since 2005 (6yrs or so) and we purchased it from the previous owner who used it for his business. It was a standard 5 year old Focus at that point with 64k miles on it.
Joanne (the wife!!) does very few miles a year and its now on 78k miles and full spec is as follows.

1999 Ford Focus 2.0 16v Ghia 5dr in Amparo Blue Metallic.
17" OZ Superturismo alloys (corretct focus ET42 offset) with matching very good 205/40/17 tyres, all with loads of tread
Eibach Springs and dampers, lowering the car 30mm or so.
Air conditioning
6 disc CD changer
Electric windows front AND rear
Electric heated wing mirrors
Remote central locking with 2 keys
Trip Computer
Twin Airbags
Please note the private plate is coming off, Original reg is T133POM. We have had the tax disc and MOT back from the DVLA, log book is en route back in the original number.

Mot is until end October 2012
Road tax until December 2011.

Recent new bits include 2 x rear wheel bearings, Idle speed control valve (Genuine ford) and the cambelt was changed at 74k, along with all the tensioners etc. Front discs and pads were done about 2k miles ago. New front drop links last year as the old ones were creaking.
Car drives very well, suspension isnt too firm at all, as Eibach tend not to be harsh or bumpy, handling is very good and the last time we did a rolling road day it made 143bhp, more than the 136 as standard! Uses NO oil or water, and starts first time every time.
As with any used car, there are the odd mark and blemish on the body - nothing outstanding though and its not in bad order for its age, and the wheels are kerbed , but not badly. The central locking sometimes throws a hissy fit when its freezing cold, but it locks and unlocks fine, deadlocks work ok etc etc.

Looking for £900 or as near as possible. Sensible offers considered.
Would make a half decent budget track car if thats what your into, as mechanically its very very strong and handles very good.

Included in the price is the original set of 15" ghia alloys which are unmarked.
Matt

Pictures as follows...
