rusty998 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Seeing that Si interior just reminded me that I owned a Mk1 2.0 Si in red, it was a lovely thing if a little bit thirsty compared to my SRI 130 mk2 Cavaliers I had but the Mondeo was much more refined car all round egg and Shite Ron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 I'm still plugging away with the register, hawking it round the various Facebook groups - I'm now up to 55 known K-reg cars, including a UK registered car residing in Ireland (a resto project). Split by trim level Base = 6 LX = 23 GLX = 14 Si = 4 Ghia = 8 23 of the 55 have a current MOT. crad, adw1977, Vantman and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 A vid I've watched recently on the Mercury Mystique. The features the Ford video chooses to focus on are strange! There's very little content on the Mystique from US Youtubers, however. Or this one on the Contour Schaefft, sutty2006 and GMcD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Updated the K reg register for engine sizes on remaining cars. No diesels so far. Of the 57 cars, 4 I have no engine details for so for remaining 53... 1.6 = 16 (base 7, LX 7, GLX 2) 1.8 = 22 (LX 14, GLX) 2.0 = 15 (Ghia 8, GLX 3, Si 4) LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen an exported car drop off the DVLA, they normally just get a Export marker and thats that, so curious that you say its no longer on the DVLA but if its a NI car it will show up on the CarBaba website (and most 3rd party tools for that matter) if its been inactive in NI since before 2014 or so, then it likely wont show up on the DVLA 1st party checker, but just hidden from view not gone egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I’d be surprised if there are many 1.8 TD left, they were the de facto Taxi in the late 90’s. That and the Cavalier 1.7TD. Blake's Den and egg 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely LOVING your thread. It's me that bought this one and got delivered today (central Scotland). I've always wanted a K plater to tuck away and bring out on nice days and go to a few shows in so glad to have saved this one. I'm in the process of trying to source the correct rubbing strip section from the drivers door and 4x proper LX Wheeltrims. It was moments away from being turned into a Touring Car replica before I saved it. It will remain totally standard and original. Couple of pictures attached.
