Default My first purchase of 2011 - Big Spec Moonstone 2wd Saph

I was searching hi and low a month ago for a nice moonstone sapphire cosworth and found a very tidy stage 3 4x4 for sale locally.....then a few weeks later a good pal of mine notified me he was selling his T4 powered 2wd saph. To cut a long story short i now have 2 of them but the 4by is provisionally sold.

Heres a few pics

I just had them round the house to clean them. Usually they're under lock and key at a secure lock up.

Thanks for the comments fella's. Its was on pistonheads before and someone came out to buy it and he changed his mind, haha. I know the previous owner really well and this car was his pride and joy, he had it for a few years and put a small fortune into it.

My other one is sold matey, i have a deposit on the old girl, if it falls through for what ever reason i'll pm you.

Thanks for all your comments fella's. Nice to get other peoples opinions on the car. I do hope to get a set of brakes for it when i get a chance, at the minute tho with the roads been the way they are its hardlys been used. Ive got a few other cars and a company car to get used and abused in this weather
