'93 Mondy thread - MOT pass

[egg]

I've been on here a month, and I've finally cracked and won an ebay auction - 1.6 misery spec early Mondeo as below - £215.

It is in Littlehampton, West Sussex. I appreciate you don't know me from Adam - but if anyone could help me get it back to Herne Bay in Kent please let me know!?

I've asked the seller what his delivery rate is (probably will wish I hadn't).

So this is either a replacement for my luxury* Fusion 3, or a 'classic' keeper for a bit of OSF profit as Cavcraft has already suggested, or maybe a quick roffle if I'm not keen.

Go get it.

 

Hardly an intercontinental trip,is it?

[egg]

Nope it ain't. Just got a busy week on. I'll just see how long he will hang on for.

[hairnet]

hahahahahaha SRSLY?

[purplebargeken]

Nice to see an early Mondy 

[DVee8]

Oh well done,that look a little beauty.

[Vantman]

HS1 train Herne Bay to Ashford, scenic coastal train to Littlehampton. Sorry I am unable to help as I can now only drive automatics.

[EssDeeWon]

He will wait until next weekend if he wants his dosh.

 

What's the worst that can happen, he lists it again and you get it even cheaper 2nd time round 

[Bren]

Nice early one in a good colour.

 

1.6 is surprisingly smooth.

[Noel Tidybeard]

K-plate with no gaffer tape?!? you sir are a WINNAR

[skattrd]

What is it, a 2hr drive? I would have thought that could easily done in an evening after work, failing that next weekend.

Assume same 1.6 engine as in Mk5 escort? Driven one of them quite a lot.

Yep, should be - 2.5 if go cross country to avoid M25. 

[egg]

So, collection planned for Saturday. Will take about 4 hours to get there cross country (but train ticket cheaper that way)

 

1 bus to Canterbury then 3 x trains to Ashford, Brighton and then on to a place called Ford.....

 

Autoaid phone number will be to hand....

 

Collection Fred won't be live as I take the same approach to Cellphones as I do Motor cars....

 

 

According to How Many left, the ever reliable data says there about 622 1993 Mondeo's left on the road (+536 SORN). This one was built in March 1993, production started in November 1992. Possibly only 32 of these are this base model (but depends as usual on DVLA classifications....)

[nacho man]

That's looks ace. I am on my phone but the rear arches look good as well.

 

Well done.

Just a lucky win l think. My Max bid was £220, and didn't expect to get it.

[danthecapriman]

Good luck with collection. Mondy looks nice, the rate these are disappearing now I'm starting to notice them a lot more.

[fordperv]

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, k plate mondeo, i doff my cap, top shite right there

[eddyramrod]

That looks really tidy, well done.  Now go and get it and show us loads of photos!

[RobT]

I hope you like it and don't sell too soon, as mine will be up for sale/roffle in the next month or so.  Don't want to flood the market!

[oldcars]

Looks nice for the money. I like the way your phone matches the car. Nice.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Whoa, that is NICE! Makes me want to KISS OP x. 

 

K reg, blue interior, ultra pov spec (I don't think I've ever seen one without a rev counter), low milage... what more could you want?

[spartacus]

Yeah, it doesn't take long of being a forum lurker before you get sucked into buying something you really don't need! That does look really nice.

Is that phone by Fisher Price?

[greengartside]

I don't think I've seen one with windy front windows or a rev counter either! Proper boggo-spec.

 

FATHA had a K-plate 2.0i Ghia which had some nice kit as standard, including the 'open doors' graphic display.

 

Good luck with the collection..!

[tapir]

That looks a great buy, well done OP, Banner battery on it too that prob cost a quarter of what you paid for the car!

[sporty-shite]

When these were launched,the rental firm I worked for were the first independent rental company to have these on fleet. March 1993 IIRC. Had a feature in Fleet News! We had 1.6 pez LXs and diesel Aspens, with keep fit windows and no rev counter. CLASS.

[dugong]

Buy single train ticket a week in advance.

Take shite sarnies.

Drive new purchase home

???

Hold in sharts

Profit.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

That is absolutely lovely. One day these will be worth some decent coin - that is one to keep and treasure.

[beko1987]

Ha, I love the temp gauge!

Fabulous. Could not be a better colour.
