Well, long story short, we think the white car has a hidden ajendure, spoke to the guy who outbid me, and he told me there was some problems with the car,thats why he didn,,t go ahead. Spoke to the guy again with the "terra"car, which now turns out NOT to be terra but Beige instead(shows what i know) Paul assures me, he,s seen the front of the car, going for another view on Sunday, hopefully to do the deal, have agreed a figure over the phone, just to remind everyone, he has owned it fifteen years, three owners in total, every single mot from new, not a single modification, it is without doubt the original car i,ve seen FOR SALE, hence my title. before i comit does anyone know of any car out there that is currently available that i should know about, will take some pics on sunday, and try to figure out how to put them on. Ian. When i buy this one will still be on the look-out for another car,

Ian,
for the right car in the right condition I don't think anyone can be too choosy over colour these days. What is paramount is condition, originality and possibly history. As for price we know what these type of cars are worth on the open market.

Look forward to seeing pics of your eventual purchase.

Nevada beige is also a Ford colour used on the mk2.

In my opinion any beige is minging! Sounds like a nice original car, but every time you open the garage door will it make you smile?

Got to agree with Ders there, if you are going to be paying out a lot of money then you want it to be a preferable colour, not your last choice! I personally would not care what colour, but ultimately you will have to look at it all the time and so the decision can only be yours.

Hope that is of some help, if you tell me to get lost then I totally understand....LOL
