AnthonyG Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 That ERF seems WAY too cheap to me - it's the perfect size for classic shows and that, and it costs many thousands to restore one from rough condition to what it looks like in the photos - I mean for ***'s sake one of those is probably worth £600 as scrap! I spy Scam, or they meant £12,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milford Cubicle Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 What are they like to drive? I'm fascinated by the small-engined versions of large family cars like the Sierra and Montego 1.3, 405, BX and Cavalier 1.4, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross_K Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Dunno about older motors, but I've driven a 1.4 Skoda Octavia and it's hard work. You spend the whole time changing gear surprisingly enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'coli Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 My current daily driver's a mk2 1300 Cav, so I'd imagine it'll be not much different. You do have to stir the box, but it'll comfortably cruise in excess of 68mph with a full load and still return 40 mpg.It could do with a wee bit more power to help getting past caravans and general arseholes, but it will still get past them.

Richard Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Modern cars are tuned to maximise the headline figures- 0-60, peak bhp, top speed, constant-speed mpg etc. This isn't always conducive to drivability in the real world. A lot of new cars are gutless and putting a small engine only makes them more so.The older a model is the more likely the small engined variant is to be drivable.

pogweasel Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 KOOL-ADE. I nearly bought a 1300 Mk2 Cav as my first car. £295 was pretty cheap for a D-plate one back in the mid nineties LOLz, it had frilly arches and zero creature comforts but I thought it would be cool. Somehow, my dad persuaded me I wanted to ruin any hope of "street cred" with a Skoda, on the basis of a 1300 cavalier being depressingly slow. It had a 4-speed box, which I reckoned would have been alright in hindsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
