Just to prove it's possible to fit a sofa in a car
I'm getting around 18mpg from a petrol V8 but fortunately don't need to drive anywhere except by choice.
Not sure that I'd enjoy changing to anything else
I'd take the B reg merc for sale on these pages (ok, it's not yet 40 but not far to go).
There was a lower spec one parked near me for a couple of weeks last summer and I still lust after one.
Cortina 1.6GL, Yellow Fiesta, BMW 323i
Hope they don't smash them up.
I grew up in the back of a brown Cortina estate and it brings back memories
What was your "dad's car"?
That brings back memories of my green one - FGG107X. Took an hour to get up to 70mph but would stay there for hours across the continent with kids, dog, tents and whatever else back in the the 80s. 😢
