DESCRIPTION
This stunning, matching numbers, RS500, build number 50, was delivered via Telford Ford to its first owner in August 1987. Showing a mere 50,943 miles at the time of cataloguing, this car has been fastidiously maintained throughout its life as can be seen in its extensive history file containing the original fully stamped service manual which quite literally has been filled to the point where no more stamps can be added.
It remained with its first owner until the summer of ’88 when it was sold to its second custodian who kept the car until ’95, and in a similar fashion to his predecessor, the car was annually serviced and well maintained. The third owner kept the car until 2011, continuing the high standards of maintenance and care. Its fourth and current owner, in common with the first three, kept the car in great condition but did not register it in his name and instead put the Cosworth into dry storage. In 2015, it was sent to Paul Linfoot for a full service where a new clutch, new cam belt and tensioner, and a new oil filter were fitted. During our vendor’s ownership, a new stainless steel exhaust has been fitted, along with a new rocker cover gasket and a new fuel pressure regulator all totalling £1,055. Supplied with an MoT until 30/11/ 2016 and its V5c.
