Default Opinions pls (Link fixed!)

Does anyone know the history of this:
http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www...00804302354294

Thinking of going to look at it for a test drive. I know looks can be decieving but it seems quite nice. It needs a new splitter and spoiler by the look of it.
Also im a bit confused by the description? It says its a BT but the car looks like a ST??? Conversion?
No mention about history either....

I have emailed the garage for more info. Can anyone advise me please? Should a Cossie be bought from a none specialist garage if you know what i mean! They dont seem to know what there on about. Look, they say its Moon Stone Blue for example!

Cheers lads.

according to my records this is a small turbo model with a large turbo conversion, I'm afraid thats all I know don't know who the previous owner was or anything else about the car.

Looks a tidy example, but your never gonna know unless you go and view it

usually means the bumper has, also look out for his thread regarding the wing stickers as I never knew they were there.

Did anyone see Jezza old K38 FMC on there too Ł14,989 with 72k on it now. Just a shame its Malard Green, but i guess it shouldnt put any price on it because jezza owned it.

This made me laugh in the description tho "1 OFF 3 FORD PROTO TYPE BIGGER TURBO MODEL"

Click on Monkey Nutz's link then switch to High to Low price and its about 4 or 5 down.... is a nice Black one on there too with 5,796 mileage.

Just been advised that this car is a right piece of shit! Gutted.

Dust in paint, panels dont line up, rust bubbles all over etc, etc.

Just shown how picture can look totally diff to reality.
Glad in a way as it has saved me a 40 mile round trip.

Oh well, there will be one out there with my name on it!...I hope!!
