Why the fuck would anyone remove a cosworth engine and fit some moody v6 donated from some old dinosaur

No sunroof, rear lights look a bit odd, moody private plate, one thinks this one is a can of worms

I thought RS500 clocks were different to standard 3dr clocks, cos they read 170mph and had a boost guage in them, whereas the stock original 3dr ones read 140 and no boost guage....

Could be wrong mind............

You are wrong, all cossie clocks have 170 mph on them and 3 doors have the boost gauge in them

In other words, definately not a cossie, and Brom has pointed out it's got the wrong bulkhead etc.

Don't buy it

its not a proper cossie. a mate of a mate of mine used to own it about 5 years ago (he had it for 7 years before that). i think its parts were donated via a stolen cossie in the early 90's. i doesnt have a handbrake cable if i remember right and also it has a 1.6 diff that wines like fuck!!!. it sat in his back garden for years with no use
