Doesn't look honest anymore - it needed the polish but even though i havent owned a Ford in years even i can see the back's too low,rear lights are wrong and rear badging is far too small.
It's an 80s car and now looks like the owner's trying to make it look like a 90s one. And like a turbo on the inside.

Such were my thoughts,looking at the photos.

My last Ford was a near concourse 90 EFi version in Radiant red,though. And i hadn't saved it,i was the second owner. With your earlier one,if you dont like the dog legs,you cant choose better than those dealer option RS 7-spokes imo. And if i saw it on the road it'd make my day.

I was gonna say, not exactly mint or original, but that's just commenting on your choice of words. As a car, I'm sure you are very happy with it so enjoy!
