Mr_Bo11ox Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 I flippin love the look of that above 4-dr Pony, it just looks 'right' to me from all angles. I could look at it all day, in fact I might tomorrow Here are some of the things I like about it: the very sharp horizontal line at the rearmost edge of the bootlidthe angle of the bootlid and rear glassthe 'filed-off corner' where the rear wings meet the bootlid/rear window with those two little vents inthe quite long rear overhangthe neat step that goes all along the car incorporating the wheelarchesthe very slight 'reverse rake' of the headlights & front panelthe hyundai panel between the rear lights Basically I love it. I know from bombing about in the C-reg that these are a hoot to drive, OK theyre out of steam by 65mph but theyre dead willing and light and fun to thrash about in. I can't believe I have actually got a proper Mk1 Pony!!! Vin, Conrad D. Conelrad, cort16 and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HillmanImp Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Are you joining the club?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pony_Club The highlight of The Pony Club calendar for many children is the annual Pony Club Camp, organised by the branch or centre. This allows for all members to spend additional time with their rides, often in a new setting doing a variety of activities, including cross country as well as the typical mounted games. Sounds a little sinister that TBH. Might be worth starting your own club instead. cms206 and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Wow, there's a few Pony pick-ups in that photo above - I had no idea they did one in MK1 flavour. I could be imagining things but it looks like they share the triangular tail lights with the estate, as seen here: Or maybe I'm making things up and they're just the same aft of the B-pillars as Ratdat's one. As others have said, I don't think you've paid too much for this, bearing in mind your long term lust for one. I did the same with my Visa GTi, paying over the odds, certainly in the condition it's in but now I have one, so the money's been spent. You'll forget how much it cost once the bank balance is replenished. Plus, with it being a 2 door RWD car with so much Ford influence in the mechanics, you wouldn't loose too much on resale as a worst case scenario. Any idea if the Joncedric 4 door still survives?

sloth Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 It looks proper like a Marina coupe doesnt it. The proportions are identical with the heavy arse end and the strangely short front doors. I think the 4-dr Mk1 Pony looks better TBH but thats like saying Rachel Riley is better looking than Kristen Scott Thomas, whats the flipping point in worrying about that?have a read, george turnbull was at bl, got made redundant and tok 2 marinas with him to his new job at hyundai. the rests history...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Turnbull_%28businessman%29 RedSparrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruff Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Much better than a Marina, you would cut a dash anywhere in that, particularly a Goodwood "Breakfast Klub" gathering where I fancy the Pony would hold it's own against other exotica...!! tooSavvy and Bamboocarman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philibusmo Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I am so pleased thati posted this point in the eBay tat thread and set off this wonderful chain of events. This is officially in the top three most horrible cars on Autoshite, along with SambaS' Alpine of misery and my Princess. This may just top them both though.
