As a student of Coventry Lanchester Polytechnic, in the 80s, I can attest to the fact that the engineers from Coventry, were exceptional in the level of mediocrity that they displayed. 

 

Me too!  When I joined to do my HND it was Cov Poly but by the time I left it was Coventry University

My parents graduated from there in 1982. If you were around Lanchester Poly at that end of the decade you may have encountered by dad drinking one of the local pubs dry

going over the block next week at Mathewsons, this metro vanden plas  GS isvery very clean, save the o/f back door which is starting to go and a couple of carpark dings, 33000 miles which i would think is genuine, given that the floor is spotless.

I've just looked at the price of that Metro van.  Fuck me, HFM?  I got a fraction of that for my perfect, unrestored, genuinely as-new Cyprus example!  Have things changed that much in eight years?

at last, the metro having been a but of many jokes and general appathy has it seems finally starting to become a proper classic car.

no doubt the silly values placed on early Festers and 205s is, like the Marina and Avengers getting dragged along cos RWD Escrots  been daft money, the Metro is starting to get expensive.

MGs, Vanden Plas cars and vans, cos vans usually were driven into the ground and very, very few are left now, have gone up in value in recent months.

but if it stops nice cars loosing their engines for mini's than that is ok for me. even now 1275s have been getting their engines raped out of them and the remaining numbers of Metros have been falling off a cliff!

Not tat by any means but the latest iteration of the evergreen and really rather capable Lada Niva, cunningly updated for the modern marketplace complete with* seven speed auto box, touchscreen control centre, electronic damping and heated leather.

That's completely  buggered and there's no chance it'll live again. The likely end is a couple of oval laps if it doesn't collapse before then amazing.

Group buy?

Yes, sellers tend to be greedier.

This is going to bug me now, I am sure there was a period press photo I saw of a 2.0i S with RHD, but the internet is so big I can't possibly find it, is there a website where you can clearly see what was sold where? 

As a reader of every Ford Cars issued from April 1975 until sometime in summer 1995 , I can assure you there was never such a beast promoted or sold in the United Kingdom. As other’s have  mentioned 1.3/ 1.6 and maybe 2.3 diesel was your lot. The MK1 2.0iS was quite a rarity anyway , the only one I’ve ever owned gave up it’s engine and box for my Dad’s Spartan in around 1998, he might even get round to fitting it soon. I might dig it out of the brambles it lives in and sell for thousands due to RWD Ford tax.

Saw this 3 door Sierra 2.0i a couple of years ago in a village near me. I have seen it a few times since, noticeable by the Cosworth (style?) wheels20210705_203417.thumb.jpg.35397dfaa69569e4b18e3e8df396bbf8.jpg

As well as these in the rear shelf..20210705_203447.thumb.jpg.9ab77c82cf72a0eabc45812135ad3bbb.jpg

Very nice, no doubt lack of rust helped by the lack of salt on the roads. Not sure if its a "S" though. How can you tell if its not badged as one?

To be fair, I have noticed that!
