Not so good

Could do with new rear diff at some point as the current one is starting to clunk a little - still drives fine and doesn't whine - may last a fair while yet depending how it's driven.
Couple of very small marks to paintwork


Genuine reason for sale.
No messers, I will be the only person driving this until cash is handed over!
Masses of pictures during build available on request.
This car has cost me £24k to build, probably could have done it slightly cheaper and I did make a couple of grand back in spares. Every inch of this car is ready to drive and use as it should be. All the niggles of a fresh build have been overcome and you literally just need to change the oil and filter once run in. Reluctant sale and I will break it if I have to but would be a real shame. Don't buy a 5k saph and think the spending stops there! I will also include a large pile of spares for the car including, lights, seats, clutches, interior trim, tcas, wiring looms, std wheels etc etc

£9795 ovno
May p/ex try me

I'm ment to be shopping for an escort cosworth/3 door sierra but I keep getting distracted by nice saphs.

This car is pure automotive porn

I know it seems like a irrelevant question due to the amazing condition of the car but what's the actual mileage of the car??

And where abouts you based in the uk?, I'm from the Channel Islands so I'd have to fly over

zetec69

iTrader: (12)

Thanks, the mileage on the clock is 68,000 - backed up by old mots. I'm based in Northamptonshire, please give me a call if you want to discuss.

Cheers

Brad
