PeteRS8084 Posted April 24, 2016 Report Posted April 24, 2016 So here goes! "Kermit" is for sale only due to personal circumstances! Well known 1979 mk2 genuine RS2000 non custom. Painted in gorgeous signal green 77 with a black viynal roof. Engine rebuilt 2 years ago: Re bored, new +.5mm pistons, main and big end bearings, new cam, lightened flywheel, electronic ignition, uprated alloy radiator and revotec electric fan system, 32/36 weber with k and n filter (correctly rejetted on rolling road session), rolling road tuned......Really strong showing 119 bhp. Twin box janspeed system sounds awesome but not deafening. Standard 4 speed transmission with quick shift, extremely smooth quick gear changes with no strange noises. All new brake lines, pads and seals. Cosworth rear brake disk conversion, flexible pipes replaced with braided goodridge lines......Brakes are brilliant. Blistein front legs, upgraded rear shocks, 1" lowering blocks, new quick steering rack with heavy duty mounts and correct green track rod ends. 7x13 graphite minilites with yokohamas fitted last year, so like brand new. Will also give the purchaser the 5 6x13 four spoke alloys and spare yokohamas. Non custom but installed with a full chocolate brown interior, some marks on the seats and the drivers side bolster has been repaired when is split, but remember it is a 1979! Hidden alpine cd/mp3 player with infra red remote control. So to sum him up, great car that I took out of winterisation this morning, wheels on, checked oil and water, installed the fully recharged heavy duty battery a pump of the throttle and he burst into life without any issues what so ever, so a true turn key classic ford. Prices have gone ballistic, and before I put him up on flea bay I am offering him for sale on here first, so it's a chance for you old skoolers to get a wonderful well known classic genuine RS2000. No part exes, no roller skates and 20p per week........so ask your missus first, ask your bank manager (or is that your missus again), and if and only if you have the money contact me. I will be straight with you if your straight with me, I font need joy riders or tyre kickers! Will,come with any spares I have, including a set of twin 40s (need jetting) intake manifold for the 40s, and I thing the cable system (but might be wrong), switched, centre consul etc, what ever I have and can find. I have all the documentation in my possession. £14,500 firm (cash). Please PM me if you have any questions of want to buy him. ****KERMIT IS NOW SOLD 02 MAY 2016****

PeteRS8084 Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Posted May 2, 2016 ****KERMIT SOLD**** Thanks for all the interested parties who inquired about the purchase of Kermit, he sold today! So its with a tear in my eye that I am now old skool ford less.......although I do still have a 2014 Fiesta ST Turbo. Thanks to all the guys I have met at shows, and had the Mickey taken, but all in good faith. Colin, Paul, Jeff, and everyone else I have met over the past couple of years I will miss not being parked up with you guys, listening to all the banter. CHEERS GUYS, YOUR ALL THE BEST AND THE FORUM ROCKS! All the best, Pete (and in the memory of Kermit) 5
