Love it.
An old school friend had an immaculate blue one - his dad worked at a ford dealer - it was chopped in by an old couple in 1989. At 13 years old it was MINT and low mileage but back then they were worthless. I don't think NNC 161P survived long after he swapped it for a nissan cherry.
Back then you paid £300 for one. If you stuffed it you bought another.
As for prices I paid £300 in 1991 for a rotten mk1 1300e. I was done up somewhat.
