Default getting my first cosworth in the morning :)

as above a g reg saph 4x4 with 66k on the clock and 2 owners never had a cossie before so im quite excited the guy wasnt planning on selling it, he hardly ever used it, he taxed it last week and took it out for a spin parked on his drive and the hand brake failed and it rolled down the drive damaging the rear panel and 1/4,

completely standard apart from exhaust and stage 1 chip

will post some pics up once ive collected

kinda excited feel like a kid on christmas eve

Good luck mate

So you never had one, you now have got a low mileage 2 owner example and you might break it? What a shame it's fallen into your hands.

will seem slow if you have had a big power s2, mines a stage 3 and doesnt seem half as quick as my s2 was but saying that i prefer the cossie as an overall car.
