Whilst perusing the XJR classifieds I found this.



I think a 4 door convertible/cabrio is a great idea in principle, in reality, maybe not so much.

It's not your Barryboys Jap-tat spoiler-special but I'm torn. Half of me thinks it's fking shocking, the other half thinks respraying it black and driving it to Europe would be a blast.



the more I look at it, the more I think I like it...

You'd have to be sure it was a really good fit for adequate wind noise suppression and weatherproofing.

I think I like it too....

Hmm, I think it doesn't really work; it has to be a fullmonty droptop with frameless glass, or if you want lowcost get a Webasto full length sunroof. This halfway solution is too compromised in the aesthetic department. Nice idea though...

Well, if I had the money, I'd buy it; I think it looks really cool.

£15k for a 740 from 1998 with one of the worst interiors I've seen. Bargain.

What a great find. Brilliant car, tidy looking obviously well looked after until you open the door and the interior had been re-trimed by a colour blind playboy bunnie and it's priced £10,000 more than anyone would pay.

Could this be the the best example of a PH Horror?

Now that is utterly crap. The interior is bloody rancid and tacky. Exterior isn't better either!

Well, there is something I like about this Couger - First, It has X-pack and Secondly, it's a 2.5 V6...

That's all I like about it I'm afraid




MODS - This Couger has somehow has escaped the wrath of the 'Boring Cars' section of the classifieds. Can someone please move it in there?


Thankyou please.

Would you drive it like that though? Even with the V6 I don't think I would.

[Otter Smacker]

Definitely not in this condition.

However, I do have a bit of a soft spot for the Ford Couger, especially in the spec that I previously mentioned.

I just don't know why this particular Couger is so pricey given that you can buy a perfectly standard one alot cheaper with lower miles?

Guess 2K is the going rate for TAT...

is that this thing?

47,000 quid at the time, seems like even more spent if it is that one

for sale for 6 grand, and hopeful at that

mm, quite

Yes that is the same escort, the car looks a lot better in real life, and no it makes no difference which way round the speakers face

and 47k isnt that much on a modified car of that level.

i wonder if im here anywhere? i did once think about selling my car but decided against it and took it off the road instead.

No. You're not.

47k IS a lot on a mk4 escort, especially when you are then unable to sell it for more than 6k (probably a lot less)

if he likes escorts, he could have bought 3 escort cosworths for 47k!

That is just ridiculous!

The number plate looks nothing like Cougar as he states and also he thinks he got an extra 40 bhp from a K&N and a "chrome exhaust"?? Madness.
Plus it looks fking awful.

Even better, the previous owner thought he had 280bhp from the same "sported up" engine
These people really ought to get CVs into the major manufacturers pronto as there's some engineering genius going on there to get gains like that Probably be lucky to be making 160!


It's a nail & an ugly one at that. Still, good entertainment for the rest of the world.

[Blown2CV]

thats a lot of dials... surely tipping over into a degree of arrogance that the owner could ever hope to make use of any of the information provided. What could they all possibly be?? I would imagine half of them aren't connected anyway.

Those speakers should be quite nice for a knee capping in a crash
