This 5k mile mk1 Mondeo deserves its own thread

Was gonna share this a while ago. My Ford tech mate looks after this one. Behold!

I wonder when he's doing the collection thread!

 

Seriously nice car though, it's practically a brand new one.

[Pillock]

Egg's going to scramble himself looking at those pictures!

Mind you.... it's late. Is the mileage enough to overlook the fact it's not a mega-early one with black topped bumpers?

[overrun]

I reckon it will only possibly be for sale when the owner kicks the bucket.

Needless to say, original owner and still tickled by the supplying dealer.

 

Imagine if it was a 4dr Si. *SWOON*

Yeah, should have been a K plate, to do it right!

Nice, would be even nicer if it was the 4-door. This will be worth a decent amount of money in the not too distant future.

[egg]

Yeah it is a bit late .

 

Sweet as, I mean the engine bay tells the story. 2 litre in the LX isn't that common either.

 

Probably a bit too good!

[Sigmund Fraud]

Is it owned by the stereotypical elderly gentleman, or does it belong to some eccentric collector that hoards 1990s street furniture Fords ?

[chaseracer]

Looks proper giffer, does that.

Old dude. Thankfully.

No white background?

Maybe when for sale lol. Those pics are in OMG Bridgy Ford dealers, though.

[Split_Pin]

3k with a white background when it does come up for sale!

I think I'd pay that. It'd be a shame not to use it, though.

This reminds me of a missed opportunity from about 15 years back. The elderly neighbour of a wealthy customer passed away and she happened to mention that the executors wanted to clear the garage to sell the house but his "old Ford" was sitting there.

Well I remember seeing him in an immaculate C reg Grananda Mk2 a few times over the years and I knew he hadn't driven for about 3 years, so said " I'll have !" And rushed round to have a look , imagining this Granada with a few thousand miles being mine for scrap value.

Opened up the garage to be confronted with a fucking Mk1 Mondeo! Apparently he'd swapped the Granny a few years before. I made my excuses and left, didn't bother to get a price or even look at the Mondeo-chances are it would have been ultra low miles , but at the time of no interest to me.

If only...

[Schaefft]

Well, 15 years was a long time ago. That one probably would have ended up like most others by now.

No, but the colour is! Cuirass I think, looks absolutely spot on on Mondeos and you dont see many mk1s this colour. Also love the optinal extra rear lip spoiler on the tailgate. 

 

Yeah it is a bit late .

Thats not a LX is it? with front fogs, rear head rests and colour coded door mirrors? 

 

Are those trims original genuine Ford ones? 

[sierraman]

Pedant speaking here but it's got the wrong antifreeze in it, it wants the red OAT stuff in it not the old blue glycol stuff.

 

Lovely car though. Hopefully when said owner kicks bucket it will go to someone who'll enjoy it as opposed to either some shitehawk selling it for four large on eBay or worse, gets sold on to the banger racers for £80 'cos it's just an old car'.

[sierraman]

The trims it's got are early Si trims also fitted to some of the 24v ones. Not all Si had alloys despite being the 'sport' model.

Ah so its an Si, Egg confused me saying it was unusual to see a 2.0 LX.

 

I knew they didnt come with alloys because ive seen mk2 Si's on trims, seemed a bit hit and miss what got them and what didnt on Si's, no realy rhyme nor reason, just had never seen that style of trim on an Si before. 

[fordperv]

That's a nice looking si right there, I bet egg would scramble to buy that if it came up

[Pat Earrings]

[egg]

Sorry, yes defo an si, not sure why I said LX! Ah, because I looked at Etis, and it's wrong on there...

 

[KWhite]

*Swoon*

[egg]

I wonder if it's ever had a cambelt lol

[sierraman]

The early Si had the close ratio box as well.
