Default Where have all the decent Cossies for sale gone???

Breaking up my Fiesta as I've not got my heart in it and want to follow a long long time dream of owning a Escort Cosworth.
Just been driving Jay Franco's black beauty (was well rapid for stage 1) and now I'm gagging for a Escort Cossie!
Anyone know of any decent ones for sale! (as long as it not gaylord imperial blue )

Yeah he is keeping it and going Autronic!

LOL no offence I don't like them in Imperial looks too girly for me instead of a hardcore detuned rally car that it should be, was one of the things I didn't like about my Focus RS aswell... you can't please some people!

Should be able to find one easy for that Paul.

Would want it a good spec too as you know you will want it like that anyway.

Any particular colour.

Favorite colour is Ash Black, then Pacifica Blue then Diamond White.
I heard that they made a few Ash Black Monte's.. that would be dreamy!

Get a big turbo you gaylord!

Everything else can be sorted...

Paul,
I have a mate who is selling his Pacifica Blue one, APs, OZ Super Ts, 400bhp Harvey Gibbs engine / greys / Konis / carbon bits. Only reason he is selling it is that he has to travel a 70mile round trip across the border just to get fuel for it (Southern to Northern Ireland), as they no longer do Super unleaded in his area. Will be coming to Harvey's to be sold in next few weeks.

Made a mistake on the colour, it's Mallard . It also has silver new style MOs on it now, but he still has the Super Ts as well.

I have told him about this post and he will be giving you full details this evening when he gets home.
