**Very Rare car found!!!**
Know a chap who has something special in his garage. Went round for a look, heres what i found.............
SIERRA COSWORTH RS500 build #172
So he tells me it was an andy rouse car back in the day, it came with 8 spoke rs wheels, which he still owns with the original D4 tyres. Also the trim was in a light grey leather done by TICKFORD which apparently only 2 cars were blessed with this. Can anyone shed any light? Lovely car, thought this is definately worth sharing.......
If you can make it out the actual mileage is 20459!!!! GENUINE!!!!
Heres the plate if anyone wants to do a search.....
Tucked away for over 15 years, last taxed in 1992, this car is due to be put back on the road anyday soon.................
Cheers

What u reckon thats worth?
if its anything less than 30k then its a total waste of time keeping it in a garage.
15 years - Ł2k a year - sounds like a fair cost of having a laugh in cars.

good on him for prefering to keep the white good!best colour imo. but he will get a shock when he puts it on the road again.when the seals shit themselves and he gets loads of problems due to nver being used. 
nice though either way.my favourite rs in my favourite colour.

It Wasnt Me!
Nice, I dont think theirs any brown showing through that steering wheel it just looks like leather pattern with the camera flash bouncing off it? certainly cant see any brown-ness tho? you can still see the white stitching?
Look how bright the clocks are, that car aint been out in the sun much they're fresh as a daisy

even if i painted a red line around the rim and put a driftworks sticker on one of the spokes????
it's a classic, hell it's even been mapped by MSD on L8, so for less than 500 notes you could fit anti lag

why is everyone hung up about cars being used? if everyone done the same thing then we would left with a bunch of shitters right now.
thank god their are people willing to keep an old ford in the garage waiting future generations to drive them!!
plus i cant afford a 500 now and want to find a good one when i do buy 1
