Default finally bought myself a new car

been driving a mk1 v6 mondeo as a daily driver for the past 3 years and really needed to update to a newer model, I then found this st200 at my local car auction last night, when I got there it was actually on the rostrum being bid on, it was so cheap that I had to have a dabble and to my suprise I got it, only looked at it for 10 seconds and for all I knew it could have been bashed on the driver side as I never looked!
it all happened so quick!!
got it home today and to my suprise it's nearly mint it has done just on 100k with a huge history file, the previous owner lived in one of the poshest streets in my area, drives very very well, lot more grunt than my tired old v6.
best thing is I got it for under 1500 quid
can't wait to see it side by side on my drive with my escort

pics are a bit poor as in 2 of them it was nearly dark!

only plans are to service and clean it then use it as my everyday car, I have far to many other toys to be spending what little money I have left on this!
