egg Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 @Blake's Denthanks very much, that's pretty special, third oldest Si I know of with a launch month registration date of 25/3/93, will have the 'close ratio' gearbox. Of course airbag light issues are very common, particularly it seems on the early cars. Blake's Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I dont know about the hive mind, but when i think of buying an older ford, not necessarily something like a mk2 escort etc, but the theft risk thing really puts me off. Lately i looked at a a few 90s escorts ( a ghia, a mexico , an rs2000) and i just couldnt be bothered with the risk. I only have on street parking and i couldnt square happy ownership with that. Sad. egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the bullshit comments that they attract and the whole ‘Ford Scene’ that would wear you down. In the wider world I avoid disclosing my interest to spare myself the inevitable story about their dads Sierra Cosworth that was really a 1.6 EMAX or the time they got a 140mph out of their XR3. It just seems to attract people dressed in Under Armour trackies to feel as if they’ve got to suddenly come up with some bullshit. The wife suggested sometime ago about a Ford show that was going on, I was like ‘do you know what I think we need some stuff from Ikea on that day’ Blake's Den, AnthonyG, Rust Collector and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose if you take every number in the comment thread and average them out you might get something like its real value. 10 x "£300 tonite" plus 3x "mine is on agreed value for £5000" averages out at £1384 which is probably about right?

Back in 2009 I saw two lads stack a stolen Mk Granada Ghia 4x4 into a parked car. The scumbags fucked off leaving the previously immaculate and even back then rare Ford revving it's tits off. I knew that this car was cherished by someone and the damage wasn't beyond repair. I tried to get into the Granada to stall it as the Cologne V6 was bouncing off the limiter but I was held back by bystanders as plod would want to fingerprint the car. To its credit, the Granada lasted 20 minutes at full throttle with a fucked rad pissing out coolant before seizing. timolloyd and JakeT 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
