Anyone know the history of this RS Turbo?
Quite torn between getting and RS Turbo or a Honda Civic VTI as a 2nd car/weekend toy.
My mate recently bought this G plate RS from a guy in Hamilton and he's now looking to sell as he wants another big power Supra.
It's got an 1800 bottom end, Koni's, Full s/s, full engne rebuilt about 20k miles ago, cossie brakes up front, shed load of performance and new parts for the engine (running about 220-230 bhp). Not sure on the wheels or the Momo steering wheel inside the car but the shell does look solid and can't seem to find an parts that have been welded. No rust either, mileage is a 146k tho!!!!
Just wondering if this car ever done the rounds on here before?

its a ford carlo! of course its going to be rusty! looks ok in the pics, if it needs a bit of work, just make sure you budget for it
milage would never be an issue for me on a 21 year old classic car. Buy on condition not milage, as you say the engine has been re built anyway, take someone with you that knows what they are up against with escorts. thats my advise
