Default Cheap cosworth
I was coming home from work last night and saw a 3 door cosworth for sale at a local garage in brighton for £2000 I spoke to the bloke at garage and he said engine has just been rebuilt with bills for it,rear diff has a very slight whine but the rest of mechanicals is fine.I had a look round and although the dash is cracked it just needs a good polish.
I would buy it myself but just laid out a lot of money on my cosworth,but dont think it will be around for long.I got details if anyone is interested,but i would be quick...contact Mr C.Lyons on 01273 604234

regards mark

At that price it probably would be first come first served as you would still get a lot of timewasters Bloke seemed genuine enough and said it would be supplied with a hpi certificate showing everything ok but no warranty.
