My cousin and uncle have just arrived in cornwall and are looking at a 3 dr as I type this which is his first dip into the ford and cosworth scene, all receipts for last 12 years state grove garage and Ahmed installed products, and ran 472hp at last dyno in may 2012, he just commented he has more receipts on this car then he has ever seen on any car in his life and totals up to 34k on modification parts alone since 2000, has a julian godfrey built 200 block installed nov 2011, and all receipts prior to 2000 are turbosystems, his phone call to me was have you heard of grove garage and ahmed and I said to him you sure you want a cosworth if you have not heard of them , bless him as he has just sold his evo and is looking for a new hobby car and finally wants a blue oval which im loving

I told him I think hes safe if thats who has been looking after that car, hope he buys it as another one on the PF club stand

 

Well they are plenty reputable but a load of receipts does not really show the current condition.

Still do all your usual checks mate.

 

sounds like a nice 3dr

 

exactly as I told him never trust paperwork alone, hes quite savvy as he is a copper in the met and is looking for a new mans toy to throw money into

 

What colour is it Steve ?

Steve

 

moonstone asking price is £22k and its a 909 shell

 

Best colour

Needs to be some car at that price

Steve

 

Well that's the engine side covered..just make sure he looks the usually places...if he's
Stuck for ideas bang him my number and ill talk him through mate

 

What primer

 

cool Mat, he's ringing me back after a test drive etc so if he needs anymore info I will give him your number . I have not owned a cossie since 2002 so im way out of touch

 

But white is primer for a real colour called MOONSTONE

Steve

 

No drama mate

Yea yea ...I'd rather drive round in something that looks finished than one that looks like its still in primer ROFL... WHITE IS BEST.! ...

 

hes just got back from a 30 minute run and has been there 3 hours now, he and his dad are off to have lunch and skip through the 5000 photo build disc the guy has given them to mull through in the local restaraunt and are going back later to either haggle out a price or pop up and tempt you Mat out of your 3dr which was my advice

 

Tell them to buy it.

 

It needs to be a very special car if it's better than Matts

But it is Moonstone so it's better anyway

Steve

 

found out he looked at a escos yesterday for £15k and hated it so his heart is set on a mint 3dr, I did not know he was even looking at a cossie until this morning, bloody family for you

 

Good man... At least he's not jumping in feet first... Mines not for sale


Any drama just hollo mate .

 

Did he give you the reg it may be known

 

although he has the reg and vin information he has been asked by the seller to not pass on the info to the public, the car belongs to a private collector of sports cars and is not involved in the club scene at all, seller would not budge a penny on the 22k even though he was offered 20.5k in cash so thats that, they walked away but I have put them in touch with a few other trusted leads.

 

Good man... Not scared to walk away !... Like that attitude .. He will end up with a good one being like that.

 

I gave him your number Mat as he said he going to look at one not a million miles from you at the weekend,

 

No drama mate... Where ever I can help I will mate .

 

Isn't 22k for a motorsport shell a little on the optimistic side anyway

 

Must be a minter for that price.

 

Didn't know Ford did "Ferous beige" Steve!!!!!

 

I know it's got a lot of paperwork, but £22k for a 3dr would have to mean it's one of these absolutely crazy minted show cars surely?? ....a perfect in every way, never be driven for fear of stone chipping the underside or ramping a mega-low mileage up type of car??


Cheers,
Grant

 

Sounds over priced to me.. Seller was daft turning down 20.5k

 

Thats Magenta lol
