I've always had a soft spot for these. Wanted a last of the line 'finale' but it was out of my proce range at the time was 4k in 1998 I think but it was truely mint 20k miles as a second garaged car. I bet its worth even more now. I did drive a few back in the day and I dont think Ive driven anything since that handles as well as it did

A couple years ago when I was commuting from Bournemouth to Kent twice a week. I bought an elderly S-type that had been converted twice previously. It started life with a BRC kit and then about 18 months prior to my purchase it was re-converted with a Stag kit. On the run to kent I was getting 25mpg which was an equivilent of 50mpg when you took into account fuel costs 60p lpg vs 120p petrol, always felt better on lpg too. Was a complete bargain for £750 with a years mot too. Did me good for a couple of years. Only sold due to moving to a rural location and needing to lug large equipment around. Lovely comfortable place to be. I could have got 50mpg in a mirca. But would have had the bonus of severe backache. I will say the fly in the ointment was finding lpg stations although the app filllpg on android was really good. Used location etc. Oh and the lpg fuel gauges are just crap. Always have to gauge from the mileage yourself.

I had a c reg one in the standard blue these were all in way back in 1998. Mine wasn't as good as this one then. Christ it seems so long ago now. This one looks amazing for over 30 years old.

Much love for the zx had a 1.9 volcane back in the day. That was a quick car and a bit quirky too. Would love to think they would get some kind of cult following.

I love these and had one in the late 90s as a company car. Was a nice smooth car to drive and felt very japanese. I knew then that Kia & Hyundai would come on leaps and bounds in the next 10+ years

Hi, I was wondering how many posts are required from myself before I can view the other forums as I used to be able to view the open forum etc then it suddenly disappeared saying I haven't made enough posts tp view it?

@paulscavalier I think I used to be a memeber a few years ago too. Can't be too many sites like this out there!

Hi. I've been a lurker for a while. Love this site, banter and epic collection threads. My fleet will probably divide equally here. I have a Ssangyong Rexton. An MR2 Roadster and a Mercedes Vito for work. None are particularly exciting or of any value but at least aim to have two out of three running at any one time!
