i've just bought a 3 door so need to sell my saff.

its a very nice example. the shell is very solid, never been welded. the sills are mint, not even starting to baloon. the chassis rails are also mint. the only bit of rust on the whole car is a small bit on the back of one of the rear archs. it has had paint in its life & under certain light there is slight colour diferances. its almost standard looking with the only modifications being a late non vented laguna splitter (due to me knocking the original off) & a graham gooded stainless exhaust including a stainless sports cat. the exhaust is very quite & you'll never have to worrie about mot emissions.

the engine is stage 2 spec with hybrid t3 & light green injectors. there is a roling road print out with around 300bhp & around 300ft lb torque. the engine does suffer from the usual cosworth piston slap when cold that most people when try to sell cosworths try to pass off a 'a bit tappety'. engine doesnt smoke & pulls very nicley.

the gearbox/running gear is excllent. goes through the gears great with no noises or rattles.
wheels are in good condition with no kerbing, however the is some corosion starting to appear.

not long before i bought the car the previous owner fitted a new battery & a new heated screen (its nice to have one where all the elements work)

mot'd untill april 2012

in all, this is a VERY nice cosworth is a desirable colour. it drives superbly, infact its the nicest driving cosworth i have driven so far. being in great condition & standard looking it really does turn heads

£5200

cheers for the replys guys. the milage is 121k

 

sorry, i've bought a 3door so i need to sell this to get the mrs an audi a4 avant. good luck with your sale

 

viewed/drove this car when Geoff at CSG had it for sale and agreed to buy it, but had to pull out due to personal reasons....was gutted as was a stunning example that ticked all the boxes.

Good luck with the sale mate

 

thanks for that mate. it really has been a pleasure to own & VERY reliable. i'll be sad so see it go

 

If you change your mind, still interested in a deal. A convertible would be easyer to sell in the Summer time

 

i've just slapped 6months tax on the cossy

 

Nice car, nice price.
Should sell quick indeed

 

Big thanks to Jamie who agreed for the car to be used at my wedding back in September. When he mentioned it was for sale I couldn't stop thinking about it when on my honeymoon and ended up buying it when I got back. Cracking car, great bloke!

 

Yes I also remember seeing this when Geoff was selling it with another flint grey saph.

Very clean example

 

no worries. glad it went to a good home

 

lovely honest looking car

 

Nice car, get a f***ing heatsheild on it

 

No worries mate - have just got one but it needs some new heat reflective material fixing to it so will be doing that later this week! Cheers

 

bargain glwts

 

i love the 5th picture.

 

What a lovely looking car that is should sell no problem.
Tony

 

Nice useable car congrats to the person who bought it.

 

My old car! never should have sold it looked even better with the anthracite 5 spoke comps on it that it used to have

could the new owner please give me first refusal if its ever for sale again!

Ryan

 

Thanks very much for the kind comments. I've just replaced the momo gear knob for an original (was a right pig to get off) and the momo steering wheel has also been removed which is to be replaced with an original I bought just before X-Mas - just need to get the right socket! The car is lovely and I've always wanted one since I was 12...needless to say it won't be going anywhere soon but I'll keep you in mind should ever I want to part with it... Plan is rust repair after the winter (not much - just the arch and a couple of old stone chips really), wheel refurb, mark on back seat to be repaired then its just the case of enjoying it!

 

oh well, it was worth a try

The momo wheel and gearknob were on it when i bought it (i owned it before geoff at chorley street) along with some horrible antera wheels and was always my plan to change them for originals but i never got round to it! i can give the steering wheel a good home if you want to pm me a price, at least i will have part of the car back

Ryan

 

i never saw it with the comps as geoff kept them. i always like the look of it with the snowflakes. it always turned heads as well being a nice standard looking one

 

did you get a very late bus size 4x4 wheel or one of the earlyer ones?

 

I managed to get hold of an early 4x4 wheel thank god...could'nt use the bus version - would make it look like a tank. Once I've finished fitting it I'll pop a picture on the thread....

 

just hpi'd this car what a laugh that was, it said it was currently stolen, lol

obviously not

 

Yeah odd story about that. Basically a mutual friend of mine and Jamies (who is a general manager at a Ford dealership) completed an HPI for me before a more thorough inspection of the car was completed at the dealership. The private plate which used to be on the vehicle was previously on another vehicle which was stolen and recovered so this car has never actually been stolen just an old plate associated to it was registered to a car that had been. Must say when the inspection was completed by the Ford technician he claimed to have never seen one with such a solid underside (which to be honest was the deal maker!). Just been out for a short drive in it and loved every second!

 

glad your enjoying it. brings a smile to my face every time i drive mine.
