rantingYoof Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Ach, second page already. A lot of desirable shite popping up for sale/roffle at the moment that a Mundano won't really hold a candle to. Anyway, I've decided to keep insurance running so it can be test driven should it go on Autotrader, and I cannot SORN it yet because the previous keeper hasn't told the DVLA I'm the new keeper (sigh). So if you're quick it'll be taxed to get you home. It's now at my dad's house, and I'm in Mason MkII, so it'll come with just under a quarter of a tank of petrol, too.

17-Coffees Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 If it wasn’t for the fact the driveway was full and I’m saving money for going to America, bits for the current fleet and jobs around the house, I’d be all over this! Loved driving Supernaut’s one, rapid yet civil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodders Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I will take number 52. The last silver V6 I purchased from RantingYoof has been superb, and I do like wood* trim, chrome and all the other refinements that come with a Ghia spec Ford.

rantingYoof Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Like I do with most cars I sell, I've probably made it sound worse than it is. The interior really is nice and I'll try to get photos of that online as soon as possible. As a forum member has asked for three randoms off the forum, I shall create a list. 12345678910111213141516171819202122232425 Midget26272829303132333435363738394041424344454647484950 Midget5152 Brodders53545556575859 Midget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantingYoof Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Converted thread to PURE ROFFLE and offered a discount for three tickets. WHO WANTS A V6 FOR £25?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantingYoof Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Ach, I keep forgetting because it's now at my dad's house. Front looks like this more or less exactly: I cannot find rear seats on the Interwebs . I promise I'll have interior photos soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbenn Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 What a lovely thing. Mate of mine had a Mondeo and it was bloody great. Felt really well screwed together and was an effortless cruiser. GLWTS! rantingYoof 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohdearme Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Really want to buy this but being a bit chicken due to overextension on impending riffles. In the event I’m not sat wondering how exactly to collect a tinwormed 220 from the north I could probably go for this as a winter mule. Heated windscreen and bum warmers swaying it.

rantingYoof Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 Now he is comfortably on his second train of the day, the hero above (Ohdearme) has secured purchase of this Mondeo and will be collected in around an hour and 10 minutes from the local railway station in Mason II. The V5 arrived today meaning a normal* transaction can be expected to take place. BorniteIdentity, mrbenn, Brodders and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
