Default My Dad's 4x4 Sapphire Cosworth

Dad hadn't driven the Cossie for quite a while due to the weather and one thing and another and was itching to get it out for a run before he gets a couple of jobs done on it this month. We both work shifts so both having the same day off is rare, let alone one which is dry and sunny. Last Sunday was one of those days so we took advantage, grabbed the camera, and went for a little drive, ending up at a cracking pub for a pint!

Thanks guys, it's been very well looked after indeed in the past with incredible history, I know my Cossie's and we spent over 6 months looking for the right one and this was in a different league. It had a good service at MAD last year and Mark Shead said it drives like it's covered just half the 106k it has!

It's Jon's old one for sale here...

Looks stunning. The lattice wheels look great on the car.

I knew I recognised the plate from somewhere... it's an absolute minter, would change the wheels personally, but it still looks great the way it sits just now (not something I usually say about lattice wheels..).


Cheers,
Grant

Browsing through Pistonheads, as per usual ..this car looks to have been registered at the same dealer around the same time as your dad's car: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2482736.htm

Random post and pointless info I agree.


Cheers,
Grant
