Well hopefully someone like Paul @NYRS will see this, as he'd be a good person to give you a figure it'd sell for

Going by what has been advertised and sold for around Ł6K recently, that car should be worth substantially more? Ł8K at a guess? Mileage/condition will increase/decrease that accordingly.

its done 101k service history up to 90k and 1000 miles since rebuild
body is excellent for its age not concours like, interior is clean and tidy depends how fussy you are as with any car this age there will always be bits and bats unless its a concours car that asent been used

Hey, I'm fairly new to cosworths so I apologise in advance for asking, is it rear wheel drive? Not 4x4
Also is there any rust or bubbles forming?
I could be very interested in it within the next couple of weeks

Std ones go for 6-7k I'd say 10+ with that spec as you couldn't build one for 10k you can get a budget one but not a proper build lol

Advertsie at no less than Ł8k, look at the total shitters out there for similar money, this car is leagues ahead of that. All personal opinion, but I wouldn't take a hit on this if you don't have to sell it.
I'm not going to mentiion specific other cars, but anyone that has checked the classifieds recently for saphs of the same price range can't compare one to this spec.

Also, I cant tell if it's rwd or 4x4 unless I missed it, if 4x4 and standard transmission it may put some people off becuase of the power level, if rwd I wouldn't care and it's not likely to break as easily.

yes the car is a 2wd it was converted to 4x4 years ago but I converted it back to 2wd as with the power level I wanted would of been pointless on standard 4x4 transmission.
all the 2wd running gear was stripped blasted and powdercoated and fitted with polly bushes and new ggr trailing arm bushes

Does the car have any rust/bubbling on the arch's or other areas??
