I'm confused- how does Lee from Kent know its done 166k???

Stoo

I remember that car. It was the cover car the same issues as my RST was featured. I think it has quite big power...? The guy who owned it at the time owned a garage did he not?

PT

says for legal reasons he cant say Its a weird ad aint it

unless he is suing the trader in some way

Best of luck... I think most traders wont warrenty the mileage on cars anyway????

Stoo

lol just noticed this:

"Car is running 300BHP"

I think it was big power

Shings

I remember going to look at a standard 4x4 in Derby once....

It had all the reciepts for the bits and bobs done to it in the history - that had been subsiquently removed so it could be put back to "standard"

Fair point but I have HPI'd 5 cars in the last 6 weeks only 2 cars came back with recorded mileage.

that pic in the main body of the ad is gorgeus

Carlsworth

agreed
no wonder it was sold with 66k and not 166k
stunning looking car

Anyone notice that the number plate is different in the big main pic to the smaller pics

Something weird there

glad you agree

also my opinion is that unless im tucking a cossie away to appreciate 166k would not put me off buying that

mileage dont put me off a cosworth, as a lot if not most cosworths have either had a rebuild or many new parts fitted for example new suspension, brake components amongst other bits and pieces

my saf had 180k and was still a bullit

if i had the money i would

B16JUS

if price reflects this should be a good buy, spend 1k refreshing some bits or getting them checked over or just wait till it goes bang and the money you saved will go towards a rebuild

Strange.

Not really, as the pictures are clearly taken at different times, one of the plates could be a private plate (probably the K1)

bigpower

This car used to run a 500 BHP engine and was seen doing sprints at brighton ( Maybe wrong on ,location ) but a mates got it on film somewhere.

Been abused, then obvious another engine been put in....... So how can the miles be accurate?


Does look well tho

coco16i

Got to agree with you there mate, car looks fooking mint in that pic !!

Dont think i would be put off by the mileage as im sure you will be able to tell by driving it and having a right good look over it if it has been looked after or not, a bit of savvy and common sense will let you know if its worth touching or not!

Must be looking to get well under 10k before he's thinking about breaking it if it doesn't sell, how much would one like this break for anyway ??

adamski frst

i have the mag here knowel welch used to own it of SAFE 'N' SOUND in brighton And yes it used to run a 515 julian godfrey engine apparently!?

xr2i-carl

dont escort clocks only go to 99999 anyhow

B16JUS

then 00001

gordyshreds

if its the safe n sounds escos their was a full mag feature in fast ford a while back within the last 12 months

S3an

Thats probably why the dealer was sucked into beleiving it at only done low miles i would say.

alanfordtw-15

from what i can remember of that feature the car was returned to bare metal for a full overhaul, so combined with this and a new engine and no doubt all uprated suspension and transmission, the only part showing the signs of 166k would be the interior, but that looks mint more like 6k on it.
if i was lee from kent i would have used his magic info to knock down the price and get an absolute bargin

Rippers

Looking at the username snsbrighton its gotta be them selling it, with the engine swaps original to julian godfrey to what ever is in it now and a bare metal respray the millage means jack and would judge the car as it presently stands. Its a Ł10k max car IMO and the engine has saph parts

Fudgey

not checked the link, but i done the shoot for knowels car, its fucking gorgeous!

the k1 sns plate was his show plate, and its rea reg was diff, but i cant remember.

it had a bare shell rebuild with all brand new trim etc

as for the milage, i cant remeber that, but was 515bhp at one point and knowel took me for a spin, it was fucking rapido!

luch car!

RS SAMA

this car was up for sale a not so long ago as a classified ad from a trader so i would of thought if the current owner bought it off ebay he would have been left feedback for it? But if it was a dealer selling it then he may not of bought it off ebay!! if that makes sense, it just seems odd that safe and sound owned it when it had 500 bhp in 06 and a seller by the name of snsbrighton07 is selling it now claiming they didnt know the mileage????
I dont know the whole thing is a bit confusing for my likeing
