Default 'Ravis old car' B10 EEP

How do, ive been trying to find out as much as i can about this car having bought it from a bloke in essex about 2 months ago now, when i bought it was told it was in the performance ford rs turbo collectors special in 2005 i think, and also trying to find out about the engine.

Been trying to have a look on here for info and any pics of it previous but cant find any pics think these people either owned it or knew 'ravi' who owned it,

Twins
Holty
RS cos
Rs4all

it must have been in mint condition to have been in PF, no disrespect to the bloke a got it off but its not in the best condition

any info much appriciated

Why has it got a sierra fuel cap fitted???? Looks good in the pics either way and i dont mind white S2 alloys, second best looking to standard silver paint....easy fix at the end of the end.

Just seen this post first time on in ages.

Ignore T28 the car was tidy when i had it bar a small hole in the wing very low near bodykit on passengers side.

I sold it to a breaker and it was stripped to a bare shell only glass left in it, so nothing on it is as per the original build in performance ford. Car was painted by the buyer of the shell and he tried to fit power steering, posts should be on here about it.

Hello Gents,

Oh man !! I sold this bad boy back in 1997/8 , owned it for around 3 years and spent a lot of money on it !!

I sold it to a car dealer in Seven Kings for 5K back then, it was mint when I let it go, it appears to have had a rough life.

Yes it did indeed have an A4 Folder full of history and receipts topping 10K.

Anyone still have any more pics ?
