Off next sunday to view a Magenta Red 4x4,K reg,72,000 miles,stage 3 and live map. RSOC car too.
What do i need to check? What should i be looking for?
Cant find the Fast Ford copy thats got a buying guide in it

Thanks

 

Check the usual, signs of crash damage and that all the number tally up.

Then you need to look at the chassis legs, sills, floor, battery tray and strut tops.

 

you also need to look for rust around seats rear wheel arches and by the rear chasiss rails

you can tell stage 3 by the mods done ie greens ect

 

think it,ll be nouveau red as its a facelift, luved my silver one

 

spare wheel well is a good port of call too.......

 

I hope its a good one for you

Steve

 

Thanks very much people. Rust seems to be top of the list then, good old ford lol
Was it just a name change regarding the colour when facelifted?
Really hope its a good one!

 

Noveau is slightly different from magenta, its more red than brown lol.

 

plus check all the basic works aswell noisey tappets on cold start or blue smoke and good luck hope its a good one mate

 

Viewed it,Bought it lol
It has Escort cossie rims on but cos of the offset i guess,it dont look right. has had 205 width stretched over them too. Rear end sits higher than the front.
Any thoughts?

 

Nouvea red is far better than magenta brown,get some pics up m8.

 

as above mate, pics needed

 

Took these on the seller's drive,more will follow when i pick it up

 

Nice m8,see you have the black lip on your spoiler mines a k too but colour coded.

 

Just noticed you dont have leather doorcards ?

 

Nope,just cloth,must have had a swapping party at some point!

 

Welcome to the world of Cosworth pain

Looks a nice car matey

 

Looks a really nice find.

 

looks in good nick mate
