Rather miserable looking Astra F. Vauxhall used to get a decent amount of power from their engines at this time. This one has 69 bhp from a 1.6 litre injection engine. It is an "E Drive" engine though. :huh:

Good point. The carb 1.6 used to claim 90bhp. I wonder if this is a single point injection mingebag spec engine for a 'price point' trim?

Quite likely. My parents used to own a 1994 "California" limited edition with the 1.4 Hi Torq engine. 60 bhp. Perhaps this 1.6 E Drive was the replacement for that unit.

Kind of different I’d say, montego diesel started in 89.  When did they start making the mondeo, 3 or 4 years later and Laguna later than that. They also built decent TD engines for those, not nick a Perkins prima boat engine like they did to power the montego. 

Debateable.  The 1.8 TD in the Mondeo was hardly the stuff dreams were made of, and the Mk1 Laguna didn't get a turbo diesel until later in its production run - the early cars got a NA 2.2 16v diesel which was pretty hopeless.  Out of the three I'd take the Prima in the Montego to be honest.

Good call, I hadn’t realised the others were not quite as good as I thought. 
In that case Montego please 👍
