DESCRIPTION
- Finished in New Sahara Gold Metallic with an unmarked Charcoal Leather interior
- An unwanted prize in a Ford competition '21 Years as the Nation's Favourite' and unused hence the low-mileage
- This is the bigger Japanese-engined example with the V6 2.5-litre offering 160bhp, 0-60 in 8.5 seconds and 136mph
- Showing a mere 997 miles from new and supplied with its original handbooks
- Before returning to the road after storage, the car was treated to a full recommissioning with a cam belt service
- The current MOT is valid until 14/08/2024
- Less than 150 24v Probes are currently on the road and, we would suggest, no others with less than 1,000 miles from new
