Heres mine,
Bought it off D7AKE, had it two weeks and the oil pump went. Since taking the engine out to repair and modify it also found out the floors shot with rust. So much for the reliable car I was buying but never mind.
All this can be seen in my projects/rebuilds thread located HERE

tell us more about yours sure i remember seeing it on a post not too long back and remembered the extremeley low milleage
I bought it new in aug 96 came to sell it in 98 for an escos then the buyer decided it didnt have traction control and pulled out.
as it was paid for and i now had my escos i kept it carcooned only coming out odd days and servicing.
she has ffsh all mots and tax discs and every invoice for bits i have needed,I have the bill of sale and handover check list and ford brochure that i used at the time.
10 years on she has covered only 8500 miles now and is just as deep red as when purchased and is still on original tyres and exhaust
NOT A TURBO but still worthy of the RS label

8500 miles and i thought mine was low when i bought it with 25k on the clock. Have you ever since 98 contemplated selling it? But there again, could you put a price on this type of car? Absolutely stunning

it was a limited run of 500 german cars, 499 left hand drive and one right hand drive (mine) sauber used in the uk for 300 miles lol
They had no major differences only changes were carbon sill, dash and gear surround panels, a rear badge and a certificate signed by heinz harold frentzen!!
Mines no 444 / 500 and the only one in the UK

Nath didnt you think to look the car over before you bought it ??? as it must have looked like that when you got it............
Plus I was buying it off the chairman of an RSowners club, he said the car was reliable and only had the problems he told me on the phone. Rust around filler and A pillar few other minor things. How wrong was he had the car 2 weeks oil pump went, then after stripping found all the other things he forgot to mention.
Ahhhh well.
