no,

but if you look on the net and in motoring news they do come up now and then, but they are not cheap,

lowest priced wrc i have seen is 65k dearest is 350k

dependes on spec ect,

there was a nice escort group A cosworth in motoring news recently and that had no price, but with the spec ect i would say about 45k max, ex carlos works car,

perhaps i shouldstop looking for a mondeo and get one, as i looked at two mondeos yeserday and both where not whot i am after, one was 25k the other was 55k, which was to much next step swizerland 25k cheaper and a bigger spares package,

Martin was the 55k 1 a 2000car or a 99with a tonne of spares?

Hope Switzerland turns up the right car for you

yer 2000 car,

had spares, but when i looked at the car, his workshop was a tip and he had stuff everwhere, 55k car with a battered door! he had a
new one ect, but you can see its had a hard life in his hands,

but did not have a clue about selling something worth so much, he did not even clean them,

the spares that came with it, where no were near as many with the 99 car, he had no spare uprights and no spare shocks, no wishbones ect ect,a few panels and wheels a few spare gear sets and a complete gearbox, and that was it,

and to be honest there both built by prodrive so 25k is to much a difference, between the two years,

looked anyway as the same guy was selling a 93 mondeo as well, but this also was not worth it on close inspection,

i am a bit fussey, but for 25k i would exspect him agin to atleast washed the mud of it,

main problems with this car was, he had changed the wheels from 18" to 19" and not kept the originals and it did not look right on 19" rims,

also chaned the dash, fitted horrible rear spoiler, and has fitted a massive front splitter, moddified the front arches by flareing them out to exsept the bigger wheels, which again did not suit the car, changes the engine to a 2.2 litre from 2 litre originaly fitted,

the guy was only interested in how it performent on the track and has raced it since he got it six years ago every year, i like my stuff as original as possible,

and this car did not fit the bill for the price tag,
