Default Is my old car still around?

Hi folks,

Just registered after many years away from cosworth ownership and starting to get interested again!

I was wondering if my old Magenta 4x4 was still about, it had a distinctive plate - J543WOO

It used to be in the Durham area

I sold it in 2001/2002 and I know it stayed in the NortH East for a couple of years after that.

It was still the fastest thing I have ever owned and do miss the feeling of never ending acceleration no matter what gear I was in.

Cheers

Stephen

Yeah Urwin had it for quite a while, and made it a very nice car indeed! He then sold it on to another one of my mates, not sure where its at now tho.

Thanks for that guys, saw it on the carwise Link

Might have to do some digging and see if my R5 GT turbo is still alive as well! (Had that before the cossie)

Cheers

Not sure what spec it was, but it was quick, and made some pretty impressive quarter mile times!!

According to the carwise website its 500bhp now!!!
