I know that car, I know it very well Used to belong to Darren Soothill, he was the car's first owner, it was also very well known to the original Scoobysport as they did everything to it, hence it's appearance in Car, and in Jeremy Clarkson's videoAt full throttle Where it was driven by Vicki Butler-Henderson against Jeremy in MSD's Escort Cosworth...

It certainly used to get driven as it was intended!

I've got some lovely pics taken from the video shoot...here note what VBH had done to a brand new set of S02's, despite driving with platform sandles with a broken toe

the reason for engine rebuild was big end failure
i bought the car for my 21st birthday borrowed £20,000 of the bank ;-) bought the car and insured it not much change left, had enough for a few tanks of optimax.
About a month and half after purchase i was comming in m1 towards watford at warp speed 9 radio full blast, did not here oil pump pack up and big end go, first i new was when came to stand still at junction to leave motorway and car was out of ballance new something was wrong.
anyway shell bearing spun conrod bent, so it was full rebuild so i got some credit cards and let the good times roll on. Only intended to spend about 2000 but as it went on the cost just sored as a spared nothing due to fact i wanted to keep car forever, spent nearly the price of the car rebuilding and restoring :-( . Got good deal on eagle billet conrods and jp racing pistons from states, roger clarke supplied the rest good man olly ( think he saw me comming spent £5000 on parts alone )
millage is now 70,000 engine was rebuilt at about 65,000 approx and was run in for 3000 miles before even reved to 5000rpm so engine is as good as new along with rest of car.
now the old crank ,conrods and flywheel stand intakt over the fireplace makes great orniment and the old sti EJ20 pistons double up as *** trays ;-) cool

thankyou susan for posting pictures of car the pictures are of the car in autotrader advert.

what do we rekon guys this car is a great buy for somebody i could almost but lifetime guarentee on the engine ;-)
