Problems

Car has a few shopping type marks on it, which were already on it when I bought it, it also has a mark on the bootlid where a bird kindly left some of its droppings and it has marked the paint.

Is it stock?

This car is an excellent example of an FBT - have seen it countless times and couch for its authenticity!
Sorry to see your selling it Daniel!

The vehicle is completely stock, any parts that have required replacement have been done so with genuine ford parts, and if they have been NLTVE parts those have been put on.

In saying that the only bits that have been replaced while I have owned it is the exhaust, the TPS sensors, and I have been told that it requires front brake rotors for RWC.

Nicko thanks for that, I don't really want to sell it either however I have collected too many cars over the years and now some need to go. If some of the others sell first I will be keeping the FBT.

It is also great to see you back on your feet after the ordeal that you have been through.

New photos posted, and price reduced.

beautiful car. if only i didn't have too many cars myself, i would love to give it a new home. best of luck, hope you manage to keep it.

i take it you dont want swaps then...

Thanks for that, I have had the car for a few years and I just don't get the opportunity to drive it, hence the low Kms.

Looks like it will either be sold or traded in, we have decided that it (and at least 2 more cars) need to go to make way for a different car.



Nah no swaps, don't need to collect any more cars, thanks for the interest though.

Have seen this car up-close and in the flesh, can vouch for its condition...
Its IMMACULATE!!... actually, thats an understatement....

VERY GOODLUCK with the sale bud...

Car is now sold.

Not surprising it sold this quick, that's an awesome car for an equally awesome price! I hope the new owner looks after it.

I hope so too, I will be able to keep my eye on it, which may or may not be a good thing as the guy that bought it lives less than 1km from my place.

The sale time was pretty quick and I got quite a few calls / emails from people about it via carsales, and the best bit was that it sold for more than I had it advertised on here for!

glad it is sold, i would have bought it before letting you trade it in to a car yard. hope it has gone to a good home!
