lol na i dnt think he was pissed, everybody happy now, i got it at the rite price so wasnt fussed, its melted piston number one and destroyed the head, i reckon the water injection tank has ran out of water ind its melted itself, got another engine in bits im away to build for it, its got all the toys, 8 injector wrc manifold bd cams etc long stud plus loads of aeroquip hoses so im happy enough to do it cos the car is rare and not many left, shame it destroyed the head as its ported out nicely, well specd car, hope to get pics up soon

Its owned by Vince Woodman the race driver, he had a Ford dealers in Bristol and bought it at a closed ford auction in the late 80s direct from Ford. It was supposed to have been specced for the Duke of Bedford who would only drive red cars apparently. Its been at the Combe rs show for the last two years.

Mmmmm, Chop those wheels and tints look ripe on the Moonstone Saph... and I anticipate you're away to tell me this was about 1995 when League wheels and tints were ripe, but you could have at least photoshop'd them out of the photos before you posted them.

I thought about it myself when posting earlier. Look at the front bumper. It looks gash. Probably as well it went on fire

what on earth have they done to that 3 door? wheels look silly and so do the colour coded door strips! ouch id love to put it back to original, the 4 door saph in red does look the nuts, i think the only colour id buy a saph in is black or red, get some more proper piks up of it

it was ggr that done the full conversion, have the receipt rite here to proove it man, the standard cooler was left in so that the aircon can still be used i was told, ggr spoke very highly of the car and said it was probably no water in the water injection that caused it to detonate at high temps, like i said i dnt know alot about the water injection so cant say, on the instruction booklet it says if water level isnt kept topped up it will detonate sumhow lol, the car got all the toys man, its definately detonation, if you saw it youd see exactly man, trust me lol
