A reg Ford Granda 2.8i Ghia X (auto flavour)

 

A reg Ford Escort RS Turbo

 

A reg Mercedes 190E

 

I actually did buy a new A reg Ford Fiesta 950cc Pop Plus in special order black (A599 JLV - last taxed in 1995). I then promptly put an XR2 decal on the tailgate and a spoiler on the rear hatch. Oh, and proper XR2 spotlights too. It did look good though.

 

I chopped it in after about 18 months for a Y reg Mk1 Sierra 1.6L (ELV 76Y - last taxed in 1993).

My family actually bought a couple of new Fords on 1/8/83, a Fiesta and Sierra. Sad but true.

 

I quite fancy an early 205 GTi but I have a sneaking suspicion they weren't quite out by then so I think I'm going to have to go for a 2.8i Capri, Rover 3500 Vitesse and maybe an RS1600i.

To quote the shell suited Scousers from Harry Enfield: "A? A? A?"

 

Citroen CX 25 Pallas*

* If this spec was available on an A plate of course.

 

Also wouldn't mind a Vauxhall Cavalier 1.8 CDi saloon and a Skoda Estelle 120 LS. ^_^ Ooh - and a Renault 4...and a Fiat Panda. :grin:

Wow a grey grille sierra that's still taxed! I thought they were all dead. Where did you see that??

 

I'd be having a cortina crusader please, you could just about still get one of those on an A reg(ok I'd be pushing it)

 

I'd happily have a nice new sierra 2.0 ghia but since Ford were fire-selling off the near ghia spec crusaders at the time for sierra L money that's what id be having.

 

I'd also fancy a Capri 2.8 injection Or mk2 cavalier SRI
