Are you looking to upgrade to this model? I know a few members have showed interest in previous cruises about the desire to upgrade to a newer model or FPV version of the turbo if it was ever released.Now that it is in the pipeline, will you be taking the plunge and ordering one? And what are your reasons for upgrading? Looks ? Better Value? Better Resale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the main reasons I would be interested in getting one would be bacause it would... should have a stronger driveline, gearbox, etc. I really like the look of it too.

Just have it for the fact that's it's a low volume High profile machine.I really don't knowI think the major contributing factor will be Mr Blown's rumour that ford are dropping Blueprint around June, if this happens and I can't get her in Blueprint, I'll have to stick with my T .... maybe..... damnit... I can't decide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Member 180 Member For: 21y 9m 29d Gender: Not Telling Posted 08/03/04 09:06 PM Share Posted 08/03/04 09:06 PM Depends on:- Whether they upgrade to a tougher gearbox and get rid of the backlash from the drive train.- The changeover cost.- The performance, 270 KW sounds a bit limp, but with 550nm I suspect this is a conservative figure.- Most importantly............. It must be avaialble in BLUEPRINT - Bring it on Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have stretched things as far as I can go for a company car. I will probably still get a quote to see if what sort of pricing I can get.
