Only if they had red hair

Looks ok for what it is but it aint for me. If I was a Ford Director, I'd be driving something a bit more luxurious tbh ...

Can't understand why people blend kits like that, sure it looks good for ten minutes but with the shake of a convertible the cracks are just around the corner!
Seats look nice!

As far as i know there were 4 cabs that left fords with Rs turbo lumps in them and a badge on the boot, i think a bloke called Ray massion owns/owned 3 of them in the mid 90s as his mate lived next to my my mate from school and they were allways messing about with cosys / rs turbos etc

Has anyone thought that it was the ford directors car from new and has been passed on/sold 4 times since then? Im sure hes not still driving it

the weirdest one is that the high bidder at the moment has already had 4 positive feedbacks of the seller already-must like buying off him!
