Holland and/or Belgium had a special edition like this. It is NOT an RB5. Might be some more info on SIDC FAQ?

Ditto Ian E

If it's LHD it's NOT an RB5

Certainly doesn't sound a bargain which ever way you look at it

I think this car belongs to a guy from this very board.

I believe he may even be from Northampton and work for a very well known engine manufacturer

oooo, I just got in from the pub and this thread has made me laugh but then again I laugh at just about anything when I've had a few *hic*

Well spotted davyboy - the car is mine and apologies if any RB5 fans/owners are a bit peeved with the inference that there are LHD versions of their car out there but it was a lot easier to type "LHD version of the RB5" rather than "stars25 car which was bought in Holland but is essentially the same as a RB5 but with a steering wheel on the other side and without the little natty graphics and front spot covers that the UK peeps got"

The ad was placed before I ordered my new car and I've actually been offered an ok amount by the dealer in part-ex so I'm probably just going to do that rather than endure tyre kickers for a few hundred quid more.

That would also mean I get to drive the scooby right up until the day that I collect the new motor next year rather than selling now and having to buy a shed to drive for a couple of months.

Now, where's the fridge gone, I need another beer....

Well, I'm after a challenge so I thought I'd get one of those dangerous Fords that have been getting so much attention round these parts

Look out for a hole in a hedgerow near you sometime next year
