MY NEW RS........................
Well as some of you may know ive been searching for another Ecos since selling the Evo, 
but ive also been keeping an eye out for a K Plate saff ( So my personal plate will go on ) and to be honest there isnt much about 
.
I received a tip off ( Thanks Matt AKA GOBBLE ) about a untouched 25,000 miles K Plate 4x4 Saff.
I spoke to the people who owned the car and the 500 mile trip was arranged. As i was driving down i kind of suspected it wouldnt be original or mint as everyone always over describes cars.......Well how far wrong could i be! The car was just how a 25k car should be
, only non factory item is a steering wheel and gear nob, but these were fitted at ford from new. The car has ALL original panels, Paint, FSH, Every MOT, Every tax discs and a mountain of bills / reciepts
These pics are rubbish and dont do the car justice, but until i can clean it properly, they will have to do
I will still be keeping an eye of for the perfect Ecos, but that could be awhile to turn up, so i'll be keeping this and enjoying the summer

Didnt use the evo enough to cover depreciation really. It was the best car ive owned if im honest but theres something about RS's!
Like i say, ll still be hunting for an Ecos, but i'm going to be ultra choosy with my next one, thats why it could take a while or even a year or so
The Saff is MINT, there cant be many left with 25k?
