Regular threads on here about it when it comes back up for sale.

Shocking in my opinion, Its the perfect advert for how to ruin a classic performance car!

as said, dark wheels, black bib, plain black leather seats and dash and that would be a nice car!
how cheap does the 'cosworth' on the seats look?!

Hmm it's ok, needs different wheels, grilles instead of the clear indicators, and that splitter painted matt black again. Defo NOWHERE near as bad as the pearlescent/green one, i saw that up close and it was awful.

There is a yellow one in the ford collection and that one looks ok.I think with thr front splitter being colour coded it looks like a replica from the front.
