Default New Owner / Old Memebr

Hello everyone I have just brought my First Escossy after wanting one for over 14 years!

I first saw an escort cosworth on a weetabix car card "used to get them in the box of weetabix" when i was about 11 and have wanted one since and now i finaly got myself one

She is Mallard Green on a L reg 1994 with a private plate L58 GNE if anyone has any info or knows anything about the car please post it up as i would love to know some history about it, it has had 6 owners but the one before me had it garaged for 6 years or so he said

needs a bit of Tlc and a few bits need putting back to standard but other than that she is sweeet

anyway i just wanted to say hi i will probebly be picking your brains soon, i know i put old memeber and this is a new account i have allways been a reader and not much of a poster as i was more intrested in reading up about the cars than chatting about them

thanks for yout time
Ben

Well i don't know if the original owners initials was GNE I.E. Gary Noel Everett then it may well be i don't know is why im asking, you don't see many plates with only 2 numbers this is what brought me to think it was a private plate anyway the dude in your avatar looks about 58 is that you i could do you the plate cheap

no not yet haven't had a chance to take any yet on the digicam only got it few days ago

i did see that it had greens on it and obviously wasn't standard but wasn't sure on full spec, little supprised about it being 330BHP did think 330 would feel a lot quicker than that, can you ask your friend if the turbo is standard and what the exhaust is please mate

i assume its still the same as before konis, azevs, twin headlights ect! not sure whats going on with the hand break cover and gear knob look like summin out of a Nova the steering wheel isn't to bad but would prefer a standard one could you ask Ravi if he has any of the original bits

Cheers
