UPDATED to include full new engine spec
NOW including latest engine bay pics
Ford Escort RS Cosworth ‘MONTE’ Number 014/200
1 of 74 right hand drive limited run commemorative Monte editions, now becoming extremely rare.
Build date commenced February 1994. Registered 1st August 1994, making this car one of the very last Large Turbo models.
I have owned this car since August 2002, after a long search to find the right one, in that time I have done approximately 13,000 miles.
There are two previous owners, NEITHER were a main dealer, the second had owned the car from May 1996. I have contact details available for both (to serious interested parties only).
Two A4 binders contain a FULL detailed and concise history totaling in the region of £25k in receipts and invoices including all previous MOT’s, detailing the 110k mileage.
A further £8-9k (PLUS Labour) has been spent on the car since June 2005, due to a melted piston.
Extremely well cared for throughout its life, I would suggest the car could safely be described as immaculate, near MINT condition throughout.
HPI Clear.
Never been welded, never been involved in an accident.
MOT till April.
Any inspection welcome

very nice mate, though not "my thing" I'm afraid TBH I'm not really one for part ex's, If I want a particular car I would rather view numerous examples and pick the best of the bunch if you get me.. I'm a bit para when it comes to Part-ex's

why damo? Dont do it mate if the reason is''lack of use''. I did that, i wanted some money to help renovate my 1st house, and also thought cos i hardly use it i may as well sell it and use the money from the sale. I regretted it ever since.,,hence why i have just bought the new one!

Well, that's beautiful. If I owned that and sold it to somebody here I would never return to the forums - couldn't bear somebody else to have it.
I love my S1 to bits, one of the best cars I have ever bought (out of 30 odd cars I have owned in the last 17 years or so) but yours is a serious sports car - I would happily put that alongside TVR's etc. What a stunner.
Do you have to sell mate?
What sort of money would you want for everything included - ice, plate etc...?

rstoughy, Have replied
RSKieron,
I would prob let the plate go with the car for somewhere in the region of 1.5 maybe 1k ... IF it doesnt go with the car offers in the region of 2k are invited ( I already have 2 people enquiring about it)
The sounds... dunno really, I dont actually expect it to go with the car really...
Had a viewer today, had the cash to take the car away there and then apparently, couldn't find ANY faults with the car, said it is EXACTLY as it looks in the pics and as is described though they wanted the plate for free ... no can do at the mo, perhaps if Im still trying to sell her in a few months ay
Cheers Lee, comments much appreciated mate ....
