Yeah, original. It's a Monte Carlo version - only around 80 RHD versions, and many I've seen have been modded.
Thing is, big brakes and suspension wouldn't be too much trouble, and would look identical (Montes have different alloys to handle big brakes, I'm told). It's the engine upgrade that's trickier to call.

Just to get this one kick-started:
Escort Cosworth - keep it absolutely standard, or go for big brakes, new suspension, stage 1 engine upgrade?
The heart is saying upgrade away, the head is saying stick with the pure original, they are now few and far between.
Over to you lot!
How many miles on the clock?
Know someone with a mint condition, 6k miles, big turbo job... oh, and he's selling up soon!

64k so far. Your mate's should fetch £20k I guess with that sort of mileage. What colour/reg./trim is it?
It's Black, N reg (think, need to check - he's had several!) and has leather...

Hmmm ... quite fancy one of those. Any idea how much?

It'll be one of the last big turbos then, with Lux pack. Very nice! As I said, judging by prices in auto Trader and the RS Owners club mag, he should get £20k or so. Why such low mileage?
Bought it at low mileage, and has done about 2k on it.. think it's a shame, I'd rather the car was driven, but each to their own...
... oh, and he's broken his arm, so not driven it for a bit!

My Dad had a cossie as a company car in 96 Aubergine leather Lux Big turbo only had it for 3 months,Ive still got all the broushers i didnt think they did them in black
Ash Black was a standard colour. All the brouchures? They will be worth a moderate sum if in good condition.

The main brochure is from late Nov 91 with all the press pack that dad got when he was working for ford

Please keep the car standard m8 
preserve part of the uk's motoring heritage.
If you feel that you must play with it, do it properly!
Big brakes/serious engine work are a must along side piccies
decisions, decisions...
It'll stay standard for the first few months, unless stuff actually needs replacing (e.g. brakes).
