Very difficult to get parts now, if at all. ... like Escort Cosworth.
Be careful .. But nice car!

My partner has been doing up a mk 11 Consul for 2 years. He's spent hundreds on spare bits and it still looks like a pile of scrap but it keeps him happy. If you fancy a go and have the time and inclination go for it.

Sites very good Buenchico..had one in the early 90's and it was mind blowing...had a few issues but were covered by warrantee.Gave it up to marry the girl of my dreams!.Having had several high end cars over the years I still miss it.
