Default Bought another Rs .
Seen this advertised on FB ...so decided to go have a look anyhow ..what a absolute mint car ..only done 110 miles in last 4-5 years ..sad story behind it ..the owner only had a few months and had a bad stroke and never recovered that we'll ..ended up paralysed down one side..felt right sorry for him ..real genuine guy .. life is so cruel at times .

Anyhow here she is ..people will probably know the car

Looks real nice that Matt, shame about the circumstances the car came up for sale with mind, still, its in good hands I'd say judging how your 3 door was.

lovely car, yes i'm very jealous. I miss my rs turbo.

Really is a sad story about the previous owner, does show you that you just can't predict tomorrow and to live as much as you can.
