Eyersey1234 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 The Mondeo I papped earlier turns out to have been registered September 1993 so only missed out on being a K plate by a couple of months egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJK 24 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 From nothing more than a passing glance, how come the saloons make up such a high percentage of survivors? I’d have guesstimated than 80-85% of new sales would have been hatch and estate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked better and were from a time when it was still something of a go to body style for many, My parents included, M730 OTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was having a look at previous pages on this thread, and it looks as though this Mondeo has bitten the dust. Shame, but it did well to reach 27 years and 250k miles.

egg Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 Thanks all, appreciate the ongoing updates. I need to go through my list again and check surviors. New entrants from those above are: K609 SJE - the third known SJE still going with 737 and 598 also on the list K901 EEW - nice to see another 1.6 base K658 KCL is MOT'd but not taxed or on DVLA, so unless it's a plate change it's fallen off its perch since that photo. 58 still alive in total on my list at the mo.

egg Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 Just banged all the numbers into the DVLA, LBF stylee and we have lost K898 WFR, but not surprising as hadn't been MOT'd in 5 years, but all other cars still on the system, which shows the rate of attrition has fallen significantly.

sierraman Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 £395 you can’t dither. A banger racer would give that all day on a Mk1 Saloon, they don’t tend to dither like enthusiasts, turn up cash in hand then go unlike a lot of people fussing over whether it’s had the timing belt and if or not it’s got budget tyres on. warren t claim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
