As per the above, why can't I find any bar this one?

Anyone got any experience with them?

I work in a shopping centre, there's a gorgeous one there at seemingly any time (6am, it's there. 10pm, it's there hehe). Heard it being driven, I'm guessing that it has some kind of fruity exhaust because it sounds beau cloud9

I've had two of them.

Fabulous handling car, better than the Integra I also owned.

Specific FRP parts are very expensive, build quality iffy and not powerful enough but still the only car I've owned that I missed so much that I bought another

The exhaust note from the standard Janspeed system is one of the nicest I've ever heard on a 4 cylinder car

Most have been crashed or nicked and broken for parts, you'll find more MK5 Fiestas with FRP engines and G'box's in them than you will actuall FRP's that are on the road.

Most? I can't help feeling that the way that classic Ford prices are going, the wise people are holding on to their FRPs for now. It's got all the hallmarks of a classic (rarity due to expense and criticism at the time).
