Default Giving serious consideration to buying this

As per the title I am thinking of purchasing this http://www.grahamgoode.com/cgi-bin/carsales.pl?car=0006

I had one up until 2 months ago in moonstone and miss it like mad. What do you lot think. £30k a bit steep?

30k is steep! And its not a genuine 500

How about this one, think this is circa 20k....

Very very nice, are you 100% that the other one isnt a genuine 500? Do you think that the 520bhp would be pretty genuine on the one that you sent me?

Think you will find it is a genuine RS500 and there is more to it than a T4 and 8 greens Runs Zytec, diff coolers the lot. So not a rep

It's an ahmed car so i'd say so?!

With the goode car it says
CAR HISTORY :
Built by GGR in 1989 for the present owner as a "Road legal" GPA Race car.
I took from that, that its a built up one- but tbh i dont know the values a GP A cars- I'd dare say it cost 30k+ to build though?!

I dont really have the spare cash, but it never seems to be a problem when a fast ford is for sale. The GG 1 is definately a genuine RS500 and dyno proven to the claimed 540bhp! The other 1 is nice but i'm not really into base boxes and all that, rims are the b****ks though! Think its going to have to be the GG one! They reckon it is very reliable at that power as well. We will see!

It's the same guy that had Y2K RS or whateva it was, but it's a 4x4 3dr he's breaking (maybe hence the vents), got an e-mail for some reason listing the parts he had for sale
