Default My Low Milage 3dr Cosworth...

Well as alot of you know, the purchase of the Moostone 3dr never happened because of reason out of my control...

However, i later found this beauty up for sale on the RSOC Forum and i went to view it and bought it on the spot...

The car is SO clean and original it,s untrue, just running a Stage 1 chip producing 280bhp with similar torque which makes it a lovely drivable car, i ,m not modding it any higher as it,s TOO nice to spoil.

You,ll probably wonder why i posted a pic of the dash by the speaker, well these ALWAYS crack there and finding an uncracked one is like, hens teeth..

Also the underside is SO clean too, there,s NO rust on the car anywhere...

So, here,s some pics and i hope you like her.....

Well done, very nice and rare car these days... are they as tail happy as the old XR4i?

I owned Two XR4i over the Years (never could affoed the price of the Cosser or the insurance !!! ) .... the XR4i's were fine in the dry but could kick the rear end out for a easy if the roads were damp! I always fancied an XR4x4 Turbo but I think they are rarer than even the Cosser.... !
