Not to my taste at all, but clearly had a lot of money spent on it and a good example of that sort of thing.

Amazed at 10K+ reserve though!

But it says a brand new engine was bought 1400 miles ago. WTF why not spend less and put a 2nd hand Cossie lump in??? What's a new XR3i engine from Ford, a fucking fortune I bet.

Mind you, you don't need a ladder, just stand on your tip toes and you can see in most people's first floors!

I missed that he put a brand new Ford Engine in it but still, that is hell of alot cheaper than buying, modifying and fitting a Cosworth YB!

You would need a WHOLE NEW floorplan to run it properly, you'd need all new loom, ancillaries and thats before you'ev bought the Transmission!

BRAND NEW (NOT RECONDITIONED) 1800cc XR3i Engine (which has covered only 1400 miles).
The Engine dont look very Clean for the milage and a "show car"

Complete body work overhaul including the smoothing of the tail gate, and both doors.

The whole of the car has been DE-LOCKED and DE-HANDLED and is therefore TOTALLY SMOOTH.
If its "TOTALLY SMOOTH" why has it still got the swage line downt The body

The car has a COSWORTH front bumper / splitter, GENUINE cosworth bonnet and vents, quad headlights, CYCLONE sideskirts and arches, a GENUINE WRC rear spoiler and an ST24 REAR BUMPER.
No it dont , its has a "replica" cossie bumper, and as for the rest

SINGLE WIPER CONVERSION


THIS CAR HAS COST OVER Ł25,000
LEXUS STYLE REAR LIGHTS
So why didnt you buy a Lexus and probably get more respect and have change

EVO STYLE WING MIRRORS

Ask him:

Whether the resulting down force from the genuine cosworth bumper makes the car faster?

If the bird comes with the car ?

Where the 25K has gone?

Its Top Speed "Ive had it up at 160mph"
