You might be better off going the whole hog and aiming for a 2.5... Graham. . .stop it. Actually, there is not much wrong with Stanley's Zetec engine, (as a few members of this site have found out. ) However the gearbox is a fairly rudimentary affair in comparison with the latest Mazda 'boxes. Also I do like the narrow body/wings & the narrower, deeper section tyres of the 4/4 (along with painted wires); IMHO they gives the vehicle a "classic" look.

I haven't had my zetec 4/4 long enough to judge it's performance yet, but I'm more than happy for you to experiment with yours on my behalf! Roger South Wales 2003 4/4 (Meg) Connaught Green

I think he wants a roadster but is unsure whether he would drive Stanley and a Roadster, mind you if one was yellow The 2.5 that Williams can do will give you the power (and the glory) without the weight of a 6.
