Cossies.

Any of my fellow Ford fans like this? These were the same price new as a 90 quattro. Worth a tad more than a 90q these days.

I do like these. I was so tempted to go the cossie route, but went with the UR instead. A major factor at the time was insurance cost; a cossie would have cost over a grand to insure, where the UR was under £600.

Had one of them .... Nice but a fecking awful gearbox and gowd do they rot

looks very very original though

A good mate of mine had a 2wd Moonstone G plate back in 1993. Paid £3500 for it, due to it being almost impossible to insure it up north here in good old Liverpool. Even at 3 years old, it was full of filler due to accident damage, and to be honest, I thought it was a bit shite even then.
I still like'em, though.

Sure the engines are good but one of the first cars in our house as a kid was a (new) maroon saphire base model, and it was.. indeed. Bloody thing was hardly ever on the road, spent it's entire life broken.

they're a bit better now though! A bit..

Many moons ago I used to work for a Ford main dealer in the south of England. When I took the job they offered me either new car sales and I would get a brand new Fiesta as a company car OR used car sales and I would get anything that had tax on it to run around in......... Guess what I chose....Day 1 ... Here you go you better take this as its got tax and some fuel....... D plate moonstone blue 3 door, black leather Recaros......awesome
