sold it in 94 to a young lad from Essex.. I was in Harpenden at the time.. Looked for the right car for months, bought it from Southampton, an RS specialist, previously worked for Ford RS.. I put the guages in lieu of the centre vents.. We're mounted on carbon fibre from a Jordan F1.

Debadged and bonnet vents removed

Loved that car...

Not a dentist, a MH nurse.

Nó, a psych nurse.. I remember getting a call from a guy asking about it back in the day. About 6months after I sold it.. He was asking about overspray on rear tyres, a significant miss around 3000 rpm underload and mileage when I sold it.. It was for sale as I just described it.. There was over 80k on it when I let it go, with a full history... It was showing mid 50's and +£3k on it.. Was furious as I sold it with fsh even though the mileage was high for the age.. Don't know what happened to it.... I bought it from an RS specialist who had new injectors, 3bar map sensor, and properly sorted the car... Could have cried when I heard the condition of it.
