Default Im back with a new car....

Not been in a ford for nearly 2 years but sold the ferrari on wednesday and within 24 hours i had gone and took the plunge once again.

What is it about these fords that make you want to buy them.

Anyway found this little pearler just round the corner from me and just had to buy it. It really is a good one and only had sensible mods done.

It is a 1994 lux model with cloth.

All it needs is some standard rear lights and an rs steering wheels so if anyone has any please pm me.

Regards
Mike

I think those smoked lights set it off a treat. Much better than standard red, but still nice and subtle.

Looks a fine example of an Esc Cos

Belive me i didnt sell the 360 for and escort, this is just a gargage ornament

the main reasons for selling the ferrari is lack of use and i am putting some more money into my racing

The ferrari was great for the nearly 2 years i had it. yearly service was Ł460 and every 3 years Ł950 for the belts.
I spent Ł5k modifying it ie lowering, widened wheel base, full geometry setup, tubi exhausts, tubi decats, challenge grills allround and so on.

Allthough i lost probably Ł15k on it i dont regret buying and owning it one bit.

regards
mike
