steer clear of this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1991-FORD-FIESTA-1600-RS-TURBO-MERCURY-GREY-/251031386694?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3a72a2fa46
I went to view it a few weeks ago and its a mess, The seller says it has slight bubbling around the windscreen at the top. This is not true it has a 1 inch band of bubbling all the way round the screen as someone has cut the screen out in the past. It also has random fuses soldered into the loom and taped up, the engine was very tappy on the top end after 5 mins of running, the bonnet looks like its been painted by my 2 yr old and then washed with a scourer. Also the MOT will have been put on by the seller as he is a breaker with a friend in the mot business. All in all it was in horrendous condition when I looked at it and it wouldnt start, it had to be started off a jumper pack and it hadnt even been washed or valeted. I asked him what he wanted for it and he had the cheek to ask for £3500. I asked him why he didnt tell me about all the faults before making the trip up to view it and he just said if i'd of told you you wouldnt of come to view it. Absolute time waster if you ask me.
