Default wanted - 850 T5 manual, ideally 850R - possible swap

Just seeing what is available really...

I bought an electric blue S40 SE D5 auto about 6 months ago thinking that it would be as much fun as my old 850Rs but its not, and so I'm considering swapping it for a nice 850 T5, ideally another 850R.

I'm after a mint or almost mint, rust free, HPI clear, T5 or R with a manual gearbox. Not bothered whether its a saloon or estate (I'd actually like a saloon), but it has to be pretty standard - I don't want an abandoned project, or a car with a list mods that fill 4 sheets of A4... 500bhp is great but I have to insure the damn thing

I paid £4k for my S40 - yes £4k as its mint, and has done under 80k miles, and has an extensive service history.

So whats out there that would be a suitable swap?

TIA

think youll be hard pressed to find anyone willing to swap an appreciating value classic for a depreciating Ford

Sorry to be that guy
