I Think I'd have chose the 500bhp black kevlar'd thunder saloon styled cossie that was on ebay last month over this in all fairness, sure its an RS500, but is it worth paying twice the price for a badge? for a track car?


edit* this one! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/sierra-cos...ht_3366wt_1082

In fairness to the track car it's a much higher spec than the black one but certainly isn't a breaker at that money.

I'm not sure what Tony Ryans thundersaloon was up for but that is a proper 500, far from a Stockish car with a powerful engine.

I did consider buying the one on e-bay /pistonheads but as Paul has said its strongly priced as a spares package , you would end up doing another 15k on it bringing it up to a reasonable spec and by then its just too much although the engine /gearbox is worth that all day long ! My cars only really on the website as i have nothing else currently for sale , god knows what id do if someone actually came along with the right sort of money and tried to buy it .

Just rear the add, water cooled T4 with maram 247 shaft and an aggressive anti lag, gotta be worth the asking just for that.
