No one ?he didnt know what colour it was?i thought maybe mallard green?

 

i remember reading it last week sometime but havent seen it since

 

Hi all, I deleted the thread for a couple of reasons, all will be revealed with the car shortly, along with my reasons for deleting the thread, keep your eyes peeled.

Cheers

 

Ooooowwwwww i cant wait.Tell us more.

 

It's really pink. I was just really dusty in the photos put up

 

didnt see any photos, but made plenty helpful input to help identify the car

if its a fuckin shonkey, non origional painted piece of shit, i wont be impressed lol

 

Do you mean that nice 2.4 stroker that got rescued And then broken? Blue with wood trim power engineering ltd edition?

 

I hope the reason for deleting it wasn't anything to with me,.

I was just trying to shed some light on what could be a rare gem.

 

No mate, nothing to do with you, there's a couple of reasons but I'll explain later.

Cheers

 

Do tell.....

 

No it wasn't the PE one, but I know the car you're on about.
That saph thier talking about seems a cool car, cant tell the colour though as it was a bit dusty, but looked really nice.

 

Hi all,

I've bought the car now, so soon as I get it out more pics will come,

The reason I ended it was some sneaky people was trying to find it and buy it from under my feet

Anyways it's mine now happy days

 

Good stuff

Did you find out what colour it is?

 

fuck this. I want to see pics. And NOW!!!! please??

 

Yes , it is a shade of smokestone blue but........it was built by ford in 1990 and used to go to all the dealerships etc to see if they liked the colour before it went into production years later, so it is the first smokestone blue sierra rs cosworth 4x4 prototype but ford didn't register the car until late 93 when my friend bought it, hence why it has red top engine, early dashboard. So a rare car with good story behind it.

Hopefully pics will come soon.

 

Looking forward to the pics mate.

Well done on buying it

 

So is it in mint con or what? Does it need any work?

 

Cheers Paul

The cars in good condition to say its not seen daylight since 2003, it's all genuine panels and never been welded and, it will want tidying but gonna keep it anyway so just gonna try and enjoy restoring it,

Cheers

 

Good on you for keeping it. If i look on this forum there are a lot of cossies being broken up for parts. Its a shame really.

 

as ive said on the other thread,

pics or it didnt happen

forum rules

 

Here you go, same old pics as before keep the mods happy







Cheers

 

Glad i asked about it now some sly people trying to get it from under your nose

 

I'm glad it's all sorted matey, any ideas who was trying to pinch it from under your feet?? Do you think it was anyone off here?? If it was that's bang out of order, and I'd name and shame the bastards.

Look forward to seeing this getting restored.

Thanks for sharing

 

No idea who it was but its only been mentioned on here so looks that way......the only other people who knew about this car was the rsoc cosworth registrar and bonkers and that's cos I told em. Anyway it's mine now

Can't wait to get it started

Cheers all

 

Sweet mate, keep hold of it, no doubt the perpetrator will approach you to buy it if they were willing to stoop low in sneaking a deal under your nose, what's really worrying is how they would know who was selling it in the first place.

 

glad you got it mate ,some people stoop very low at times .

what wheels has it got on it ,they look very halfrauds lol

 

Believe it or not they're the wheels that have been on it from new the spoke things are painted smokestone but it does come with the lattice wheels, supplied by ford.

 

Not the done thing really, trying to buy under someones feet.
Glad you got the car and good luck with what you plan to do.

 

any better pics of them ,are they mondeo wheels ?

 

Think what's happened is, I originally posted a pic which had the chassis number on, it was kindly pointed out to me so quickly removed but in the meantime somebody/s had tried to source the registered keeper (my mate) and contact him....anyway it's naughty but done now.

The wheels are a massive 15" momo alloy ...question is do I keep them on as ford sold it or do I bin em?

 

sharktooths all the way on a smokestone


do you actually know who tried to gazump you on the saff mate?

 

No idea who it was mate,

I love sharktooths but its a 1990 smokestone car so do I go with lattice or momo for originality ?

 

it s a tough one really and down to personal choice at the end of the day .its a great story behind it so maybe keep the lattice ,but the momos would have to go especially as they are only 15 inch ones

 

Yep, old skool Momo's that you could colour code the spokes on, terrible imo.

Even though Ford added them to the car as a demo type thing, they are still aftermarket and i would personally go for standard Cosworth wheels, but keep the Momo's to show as part of its history incase any pics surface of it in its original state.

Looks a nice find, wonder if it will add value with the background of it.

 

A would put standard wheels bk on aswell.

Cheers marc

 

Think from memory the wheels were momo idea's. As said above the spoke sections could be colour coded to match your car.

 

Had this happen to me before on an UNO turbo,literally told the bloke I was picking it up the next morning and got there to find him driving off in it!!!
The lad that was selling wasn't at fault as at the end of the day first past the post wins IMO but what a job for tucking me up.
Did laugh when he put the engine in his own car unaware it had a bleed valve fully opened to make it fast then went pop about 2miles from his house after he fucking nailed it from freezing cold set up by "himself" in the garage.

Never mind eh!!!

On a happier note well done for getting the car,lovely colour that smoke stone.
