Default My car is featured in FAST CAR mag (pics)

was looking throw some old mags today in me mates garage and me mate said look here another black rouse.
only to find it was my car may 1995.

It has some bullshit in there saying the cars running 390bhp on a rs500 wire ringed block bd10 cams grey`s and a T3 running 24 psi ?

why write a load of bolloxs surely this was not possable?

also said the car had 12 coat paint respray But TBH the cars paint looks rather thick?

Aladdin motorsport done a lot of work on the car are they still trading?

all back on new engine and small turbo now though

I didn't know this was your car! I nearly bought it myself, it belonged to an accountant in Norwich originally (he got it on a lease hire scheme for Ł28k new ). He got offered it after the scheme had finished to purchase for Ł5k and offered it to me for this amount (all those years ago as well, so bargain, as other Rouse cars were going for Ł9k), but it had had a hard life and needed a complete respray with loads of parking dents (not one straight panel and over 100k miles if I remember correctly), so I declined.

When I saw it in the flesh after it had been owned by the guy above, I really regretted not buying it, as he did bring it back up to scratch . I thought it had a TO3/4 fitted when I saw it at one of the shows though (can you see if it has from the photos, as the spec sheet is a load of bollocks - look what size they say the Escort wheels are for a start... ) ?
