thanks for that geoff very much appreciated,it will break my heart for it to go but when i bought it (aug 2001) petrol was 75 p per litre and now i,m finished work with ill health it,s a struggle to keep it going on a meagre pension.

Sorry to hear you are selling it Neil.... It truly is a nice car and an amazing tale of how it got its "Y" plate!!

Make sure the new owner joins up here and you are more than welcome to hang about too!!

thanks baz,every one on this site and at the shows  has been very pleasant to meet,( bloody hell i,ve got a lump in my throat now.) this really is the best car website in the world with the nicest of people. if this car goes i still intend to use this site even though i,v got a ford focus lined up.1600cc auto (i must be mad)
the "Y"plate story is on the seen by you page under welcome i think.baz was originally sceptical but now he,s seen it in the metal.

Neil, Sorry to hear you are selling the car, that is one nice motor. Good to know that you intend to stick around and I have to agree that there are some great guys and girls on the site and have yet to go to a meet where there is anything but fun and friendship.  ;D. Mike.

hi Neil, did you have much interest in your car did it sell? i have a 98 cosworth very similar to yours which im thinking of selling but not sure what its worth.

Title: Re: "Y"reg 24v cosworth
Post by big_neil on Jun 25th, 2008, 5:15pm
one member on this site showed interest but when he found out how far up north i was ,no go .i suppose the price is maybe too high for the market at the momenti,ll tax it at the end of july and put it back on at a lot lower price.the book price is £2400 and a private sale is £1930 but nothings moving at the mo in the car market,i,m not in too much hurry.

Post by scruffygyt on Jun 25th, 2008, 8:50pm
thanks for reply Neil, I'm in the same position tax runs out end of July hoping to shift it by then, only selling because it doesn't get used, i will have to put it up cheap, its a shame because its a lot of car for little money.

Post by big_neil on Jun 26th, 2008, 5:00pm
spot on, they are a helluva lot of car for the money but people will still buy clone boxes!

I'd have thought yours would have attracted a bit of interest Neil being Y reg, I'd have thought about it myself if I wasnt a bit overrun at the minute :)

Real shame it's a 4dr Neil or i would have been stuffing readies into your hand over a swift half in pWoodrows... I can't see me getting my 24V back on the road and am looking at 2.3 Galaxys.

But a mint Scorpio 24V on a Y plate would have been lovely.

Make sure it does go to someone that will love it.

TT


p.s... I thought it was black,,,, but the everyone thought my estate was black too.

Hope you get sorted John as we've said you'd be most welcome but in a Scorp again would be even better.  :D

Post by Savvy on Aug 19th, 2008, 3:10pm
It was a pleasure dealing with Neil. The car is safely in it's new abode. What a great car it is!
Be assured Neil it has gone to a good home and will be cared for just as much as it has been for the last 8 years! (Well I'll do my best!)
It means my 2.3 is definitly up for sale! When I get the plates transfered over I'll put an add up. Although I have had one chap on here say he would like to purchase it - unsure of his username.
