dosn't say the milage anywhere , it might have done 80,000 miles then been sat for 17 years - IMHO unless its MEGA low milage, it's not worth the hassle

It's worth that sort of money provided it can all be verified. Remember, anything is worth whatever anyone will pay.

I bought the car and it is now back on the road MOTd and taxed, I already have a moonstone 3 door that I bought with 38,000 miles on the clock so I had some idea what I was looking at. I have loaded some pictures onto my website at www.XXXXXX.co.uk, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have. The interior is in excellent condition and the engine purrs like a kitten. Its all good.

Look nothing to prove here, the car is not for sale, and no moths have not eaten the interior. The exhaust had to be replaced, but that was all that was rusted. Flew through the MOT, and no we are not an MOT station !! not bothered about losing the username just getting it changed now.
I am happy, I thought there were some enthusiasts on this site that might appreciate a vehicle with this providence if all you wanna do is throw stones ........

There are a few who would appreciate a low miler cosworth like you have got yourself there,and i hope you enjoy it as thats all that matters...there are not that many enthusiasts on here mate,as they spend a lot of time talking bollocks on here,running up 1000's of posts in a short time,therefore cannot spend much time with their cars

im mates with the ebay seller who was selling the car on behalf of a friend. the listing is true. the pictures really did not do the car justice, it really is one of the best 3dr's i've ever seen. better pics were not taken of the car due to the car being parked so tightly in the lock up he did not want to risk damaging it taking it out. i personally would not want to own it as its far to mint to even consider using it, more of a collectors car. well done 8000miler on winning it, you really do have a stunning car. maybe if you show it in future then people will see just how nice she really is
