"150bhp" ?

[JetSet]

They had over 200 bhp, that add says 150 bhp the same as the XR4i. Doesn't show up on DVLA search either.

 

I considered one of these back in the 80's but the insurance was something like 4x what I was paying for my Capri 2.8i.

I don't trust the grammar either.

Are these one of those 80,s cars you could break into with a coat hanger in 5 secs and thats why insurance was sky high. I think this era forced the introduction of imobilisers and alarms as standard issue from then on. Not old enough to remember so someone can correct me if im talking rubbish

[Davectr]

Just type the reg into Google and look at the results - Nuff said! 😳

[ZEUS]

Yeah looks like that needs reporting.

Yep from what you can read on this forum and other sites i have come to one conclusion

 

Never buy a car between 4k and 5k that seems a steal

 

Because the only steal being had will be your money

Top result on google search is a Facebook post stating:

 

 

'Becareful guys theres Cosworth on Ebay F642 TEF its up for 5500 in Edinburgh also in London 16k ad has been cloaned'

[ZEUS]

Maybe a few more people should report it, it's still up there and I reported it a while ago

[TT350]

Yeah looks like that needs reporting.

I would imagine the Cosworth came with a factory alarm/ immobiliser, my 1989 Escort RS Turbo did but yeah they were fairly easy to get into. There were a number of tricks, some of which are probably still used today but I think the days of using a coat hanger are over .

 

I remember years ago when "Car" magazine had two Cosworths that they were testing/reviewing and following the RAC Rally. They were parked up right outside a well known hotel in Newcastle and were blocked in by parking a couple of vehicles right in front and behind them. Next morning they'd gone, thieves must have used a fork lift truck to put them on a low loader..............that's how desirable they were.

I believe he is referring to the advert being reported, not your inappropriate post which I have already removed.

Yes as Lexx said I was referring to the bogus advert on pistonheads. I have no idea what your on about TT350?

Still up now, ...just reported it as well ZEUS.

[Rock_Steady]

yeah, report it!! Cos it's not worth the money.

[veilside z]

That's not a Cosworth. I had 2 and the wheels, engine and interior were not like that in any way. :wacko:

Are looking the same one. What,s the colour and price the one your quoting

It's finally been taken down veilside so it links to just a list of cars now.

A Cosworth RS500 in concours condition now commands £100k price tag!

Excellent condition ones fetch £60-70k. Considering they were 20k when bought new in 1987 they have more than kept up with inflation. There's not that many cars that actually beat inflation, especially Fords
