Here you go folks! after selling my old cossie, i once again got the bug for another one. So after a long search over the last couple of weeks, i came across this minter. Bog standard E plater, not been messed with at all, only thing which is not original is the 4x4 bonnet & the genuine RS500 splitter. Not bad for a 16yr old car






Hope you all like, what do you think folks
Sorry for the blared pics

Nice car Paul,looks very tidy. They must be very hard to find untouched these days, personally i prefer the look of a original example, i hate it when people add blacked out windows/lights/bad boy bonnets & all that crap. The only thing that should be changed on a saph is possibly the wheels.
Paul, dump the towbar mate
Cheers simon.

Im in to mind about the towbar Simon, its been on since day one. The 1st owner towed a caravan to Italy & its never been used since
I think it'll be a shame to do anything to it Nick. It's been a well looked after car & for me & change it would spoil it
at the camera Gav, but you get the general idea.
The car came with every MOT from new & ford service history. Car has been maintained be Mark Sheads @ M.A.Development

after trying to fit the magnex last night, we came across the problem of the tow bar
Exact same system as the standard apart from the centre box removed, just the thicker bore is catching. So insead of chopping the exhaust....The tow bar is finally coming off.
New pics to follow, with better camera this time

Gav, my mate who came down with me to do your car has just bought a saph with a genuine 500 splitter on it
but dont think he's keeping it on
I'll ask how much, but will it still fit the 3dr, as this splitter will have been made shorter

thank god you took the towbar off looked even more like a taxi
as for reversin care free with it on, dont think so!!! does even more damage than without cos it bends the chassis, rather than flexing a bumper
