it's running a set of greys on one bank, and a set of standard yellows on the other, which have probably never been hooked up.
amal valve piping has been messed with too.
still looks like a nice car

but it dose need some TLC spending on it and its all there and as was said about the steering wheel it was only the flash that made it look wor out it mint and the dash is mint to no cracks no worping and the trim mint to but it just needs a very good clean..
O sorry your right they have not been hooked in in the time he has had it but he dose have the stuff to do it on the shelf

the transport company was called kays transport if i remember and i aslo seem to remember that the cars first owner was a race driver but i dont think it was rouse. Gene bought the car with 400 mile on from a garage in cumbria and it has had a full respray which was done by my father in law
i think Gene sold this car before he was sent to prison so it wasnt sold at police auction like his rs 200's

As for the leather , no 500 was made with leather so it must have been retrimmed after it was bought
Feel free to give me a call if you would like to chat

Right heres a few pics i took of the car when i went down for a look. Passenger side has the 500 wheels on to see how the car suits them , where as the drivers side has these wheels on......
They are the set of four 8 spokes with the original dunlops still on them from day 1. These are what came on the car when he brought it. The spare is the same and has never been removed from the boot!!
As said in previous posts, the car needs TLC, trim and dash need good clean, outside bodywork needs a good old polish and engine bay needs steaming and tidying up a bit.
I can vouch for the mileage, it is GENUINE, ive seen the MOT'S and the history with the car, the last time it was taxed was 1992!!!
Will pop down with COLEYST200 in the week and get him to pull it out the garage so we can get some better pics.

Those wheels are Grp A Speedlines and were fitted to a few special offerings from Ford Borehamwood. They look like 6x15" jobbies (you can get 7x15" in the same style which are also the same design as the 8x16" items fitted to RS200's). They were also fitted to Grp A Series 1 RS Turbo's back in the day and i've got a set fitted to my car as per pic ....

quality wheels
im sure if it was andy rouse who owned it at first he could have got what he wanted on it from ford including leather and they wheels.i was also told before that some ford garages did offer retrims etc on the cars may not have been from factory but was done at the showroom.

Yes your right it was but it was a scam as he needed some were to store the car and they were mates of his that had that garage. If you remember there was a moonstone one there too that was his aswell. It had the price tag in the window as it pulled the punters in lol

why do you think a low milage car has to look mint
the guy my dad works fo is a multi millionare and in one of his garages is a 2004 ferrari with 5k on the clock covered in boxes and junk everywhere even in side
his dog ripped apart one of his leather seats and his 50k merc last year and he didnt care was actualy very funny.
