This fits the bill, but it's not exactly local!!
I'm "watching" it, but it'll probably go for silly money (Still spare change for some of you boys, but more than it'll be worth!)

As its a cossie replica he will probably want in the region of 750 - 1000 and god knows why but replicas seem to fetch this money. If it was going to be a pure track car i would go for it but as a daily drive i wouldn't in saying that Bart would.
Too many little things that would drive me crazy, needs a door, rear arch will need attention, bumpers need attention and oil coming out of the filer cap. It's also been lowered by what looks like 40mm, exhaust will scrape and bang as will the suspension.
It's a good car but I would class it more as an unfinished project. The biggest issue for me though would be the fact that the log book doesn't reflect the engine that's in it. Also some insurance companies heavily load the premiums on these (look a likes) especially if they are badged as a cosworth.
Sorry to be a party pooper but it hope it helps.

It's a waiting game but there are still bargins out there.
I'd knock him down a bit as he's had if for a while.
