Do some track days in it and get the need for speed out of your system - for a while anyway.

Any car is going to break the speed limit so self control is the only way to go. You could fit a rev limiter - limit to 2500 rpm

I have to agree with that, since I started racing, I've become much much more of a sensible driver on the public highway, maybe I'm just getting to that age when you mature a bit!

It seems a shame to have put so much hard work into it (not to mention hard currency!) to sell up and move on. I don't know if you remember me but I spoke to you at the last Wedgefest at the end of the day. I only saw your car for a few minutes but it looked absolutely mint. It deserves to go for maximum money but unfortunately Wedge prices seem to be in free fall at the moment. I seriously hope you get what you want for it all the same.
All the best matey

Steve,
If your looking at selling, it might be better off (if you can't get the £11k) taking the engine out and selling the engine seperatly. You can get a 4L V8 then and sell the car as it stands for a good £7k or so?
Whats the engine worth?

Echo that Lee
Steve 11k IS alot of money when there a SEAC other 400s, Chimps and Griffs galore at alot less money I bet you could buy a certain very well sorted 450 for not much more money. We all know when we set off down the Wedge route or any other car route come to think of it, that they will never return the money you spend, Sad but true.

So how slow are those Escorts? www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=297960
As mentioned above a few track days are probably the best answer. Your's looks like a really nice car.

Steve I thought yours was a 5.2 ?? and why do you think you would keep your license any longer in a cosworth ?? as someone already said, just about ANY car will break the speed limit if you dont show a little restraint.
