That SaaB 900 is lovely, ticks all the  900 boxes for me, auto*, no leather, no turbo, 2 door saloon, a real colour.  One I will regret not trying to buy.

**My dad's last job was machining housings for SaaB's Borg Warner auto-box. A task sub contracted to Rank Xerox.

That's a lot nicer than the new ST line diesel one I have at the moment as a hire car. Seems a decent price to get into classic car ownership. Wish I had a garage.

That's the problem, needs preserving that one - probably too good to daily it year round.

OSF tax hasn't hit those yet by the looks of it, so £1500 doesn't seem too bad to me anyway

Yep, and even at that price I'd want to know if it's had a clutch in its life or Cambelt kit/Waterpump change in the last 5 years or so - otherwise it starts looking expensive. Especially as the air con may also be broken...

I remember those early Mondeo's as being a huge step forward after Sierras and their ilk, how do they stack up now?

I've had both and agree the Mondeo was quite a big step forward. Very usable if you keep on top of the maintenance where Ford took their usual design/quality shortcuts.

I remember my dad being upset when he had to hand back his company Sierra and take a Mondeo.

If you think about the design iterations the Mondeo has had since, then it was probably Ford's Europe's biggest step forward... ever? Broadly speaking all the Mondeo has had since are increasingly silly styling changes and more interior toys. That generation introduced genuine aerodynamic design, front wheel drive, affordable multivalve engine, a proper driver's 'cockpit' and (I think) multilink rear suspension. The first gen Focus attracted a lot of attention but really all that was was just some radical styling, a better thought out body shape and a new suspension setup.

Another breadvan Polo - this one in C Formel E spec, which means 3+E gearbox and a stop-start system.

Personally I’d be putting the original wheels straight back on and getting £££cashback by flogging those split rims and enjoying some usable steering.

“New wiring loom back to front”

I don’t think you mean that the way it sounds. I hope not, anyway.

If I remember a 2.0 ghia estate in white to a 1.8 glx hatch in white. 

It might be that he just missed the estate. 

But to be honest he was upset when they stopped making the cortina. 

He's on his third focus estate since he retired.

incorrectly engined, using a polo one instead of the 2 stroke, and decadently trimmed in velour.

this is not a car for the proles, but one for a good party apparatchik.
