Hi might you be willing to sell without going to auction ?

Hi,
I'm going to let the auction run its course rather than sell privately.
Whoever wins will be getting one of the best examples of a great car.

From a buyer's POV, if you've got a figure in your head for a private buy, why not bid up to that? You never know, you might end up paying less.

Had an ST2 Mountune of the same era. Absolute giant killer on country B roads….especially in the rain. Slightly soulless ownership though coming from an inferior but characterful Abarth Punto Evo.

Absolutely right about the B roads, it's probably the perfect performance car for UK roads to my mind.

Ultimately, "It's a Ford", so there will always be more special cars around. BUT when it comes to servicing and running costs, "It's a Ford", so accordingly reasonable. Same with tyres, brakes, mods etc.

You can have a lot of fun without ever worrying how much it is costing, or might be going to cost you

Mk7 ST has a dry timing belt so no worries there
