A little high on price, but check every inch of it with a magnet for filler, MK2's rotted badly!

Looks good for the money, but as said earlier check for metal. If solid then fair price.

I think you'd find the MkIII with the XE motor in it quite a handful without messing about with Turbos

The fact the MkII has been on Pistonheads for 46 days should tell you its over priced.

The Classic Ford market is booming and nice stuff, built well, it fetching good money and selling quickly.


As with a Cossie, look before you leap, they can break your heart and your bank just as quickly.
