Ford Sport KA?

[sierraman]

Seen a Ford sport Ka for £120 locally, mot until December but won't start, could be something like dead fuel pump at a guess, reckon it's worth a punt to flog on or are the spares eg the bodykit worth anything to sell on?

The arches and bumpers are sought after if it's a bad inestment

With those engines I would say no compression due to terminal overheating

[sierraman]

Or snapped belt...

[twosmoke300]

Chain driven cams

Worth a punt.

These cars will be worth a good deal of money in the near future. The OMGOSF brigade will latch onto them as they have everything Ford before! The sport versions especially. 

 

Plus as many had a Ka (of any kind) as their first car, the nostalgia thing will kick off in the next few years - 'I used to have one of those - wouldn't it be nice if we had another......'. Similar thing to how proper Mini's are viewed.

I'm thinking they are the 1.6 from the Focus, of course it's a Rocam.

I actually really like these wee things, despite hating all other Ka's. Shame they rot like every other Ka and dont have the 1.6 16v Zetec engine in them, its a 1.6 8v, never understood why or even why the other Kas never got the 1.25 Zetec instead of the wheezy 1.3 lump they did have.

100% avoid.

[twosmoke300]

100% agree

[SiC]

Doesn't that make it 100% proper shite?

 

Too shite even for Autoshite.

no is the answer to any question about a ka(ck)

no is the answer to any question about a ka(ck)

Is the correct answer, they are great fun to drive but all of them are knackered, they are disappearing fast, not seen many around at all these days.

[PiperCub]

My point exactly! That's why people will be going mad for them in a few years time.
