After standing in our lock-up for a while, Neil took over ownership of the mag's Escort S2 RS Turbo. Now though the S2 has finally left the Fast Ford fold...
Neil: "I used the car daily, and I loved it, but I was struggling and wanted to put Cossie management on it, which meant more money and a slippery slope. I knew that doing the amount of miles I do would take its toll and I really didn’t want to see it neglected just driving up the M6.
"Once I made the decision to sell it, it didn’t hang around. Dan Butler came up the road with a sensible deposit in his hand and a deal was done. I was slightly gutted as I know I’ll never own a Mk4 in such good condition again, but for just once in my life I have done the sensible thing. I’m certainly gonna miss it, but it’s not the end of F800 CTX, it’s just a new chapter."
We'll hopefully catch up with the Escort at Ford Fair in August.
