Yes m8 they are the last of the line, they only made 500 in moondust silver, so its a very rare piece well i think i am going to now stick it on ebay as its been on pistonheads since bloody september!!!!!!and if then it dont sell then breaking it

i personally wouldnt bother mate i currently own a fiesta rs turbo which is a fully restored shell which i am building up but i have owned fiesta before and no matter how tidy they look they all suffer from rot, if i was you if you are happy with your s2 and know its a solid base i would stick with it because rs cars in my opinion carnt be trusted anymore when buying private just my opinion

I looked at this on FT and seems strange that he wont fix the head gasket and sell it for twice the money? Surely no-one is that lazy.....

I've owned a fair few Fiestas and all bar one which was a more door Ghia, were hiding very nasty surprises. A good nick Moondust goes for at least 3k+ so for the sake of £100 HG change why not do it

Cheers mate, it's getting there. Should be ready for show season this year.

I would stick to the car you already know.

God knows what you'll find under the carpet of that Fezza... Just look at the mounting points of the seats...

if you were swapping for a audi or vw like your ad says i could understand but for me your going from a car you know to a car you dont that can possibly be worse.

if you want it go for it mate (but i dont like them in moondust )
