Morning,

Just wondering if anyone knew the best place to try and get one of these would be Ideally in Scotland? RS owners club or one of the specialist ford forums I assume?

I have cash ready to go for the right car but its not easy to find a good one.....I am not interested in it being totally standard like it just left the factory just not a rusting shed or DIY catastrophe...

Cheers

John

There's not a million out there, so some travelling inevitable. I drove from Essex to the top of Wales when looking for my S1...

But then my FRST dropped into my lap when a customer got talking to me in the shop!

Check the RS Owners club as well. There should be some decent ones around. As above, you might have to travel a bit and be disappointed by a few Chaved up Sheds to find the best.
Good luck in your search, get one now before the values climb any further.

Think so

Maybe see if there is a local Ford meet? Get networking!

Good to have eyes and ears out there

You don't have to be a Member to view adverts, however any newly placed ones (be it car or parts) are not made immediately visible to Non Members and will only show 72 hours after they were first posted.

good luck trying to find a good one , have traveled hundreds of miles looking for a decent one but to no avail all we have looked at are over priced , crashed ,dodgy or rotten ....if you carry on looking be very cautious even with dealers ????
