Rare cars. Even rarer after that lad destroyed his trying to race the misus Fiesta with me and b19bal. Still nobody hurt so all was good

as said getting rarer, were very valuable once, then became bargains for barge enthusiasts, defo worth the plunge if u can get it for a little less than that as much as I hate Mercs

2.3s for whatever reason are around £1,5 -> 5K.

2.5s are near the top of that. Evo2 with the wing are £20K IIRC

2.5 was the last of them. Has the silly larger rear wing.
You're thinking of the EvoI/II


(EVO II)

It's not our favorite YB in those. It's a worked over Merc lump iirc. About 200bhp and normally aspirated .

Don't know of anybody who would/could have put the Merc motor into a Ford. Or why they would want to.

i had one of those years ago they were AMAZING to drive, nimble, agile and very thrilling to rant about, shame i crashed it, now they ment to be collectors items an to think i contributed to its rarity.
