Highlights

Rare restoration opportunity
Complete car including leather interior
Spare set of refurbished lattice alloys
Only seven registered keepers from new
Barn find in storage since 2007

The Appeal

Here is an interesting opportunity for the Fast Ford enthusiast. It is one of the final ‘ultimate’ examples of the Blue Oval’s Cosworth-fettled, all-wheel drive saloons, and it is ready for restoration.

The car has been off the road since 2007 and has had just seven keepers since new.It is essentially a ‘barn find’ finished in dark slate grey with a matching Recaro leather interior. There are obvious areas requiring attention, but it is a candidate for restoration or could be a useful source of parts.

With the values of restored Cossies remaining buoyant, here is a chance to get in at the ground level on an interesting and rewarding project.
