This looks ace for 1300E

There are a few Simcas, including this one for 800

A lot of stuff in the background not listed on the site,  including that U23

I feel a road trip brewing.

In the search for a used car for my fella, I've been perusing the Craigslist of the USA. 

He wasn't impressed by this...

Obviously a 'Inheritance Find' in a reasonably fancy neighbourhood. 

 

He bought a 2019 Passat instead.. We're still not talking.

Astra Merit Estate. I had one. I hated every single minute of it's life with me....BUT IT COULD NOT BE KILLED

£510 no reserve, in Worpleston which sounds Northern to me.

A 2 litre V6 ford engine. I did not know that.

And registered as 1593c c on the DVLA website.

Either the seller is an idiot and doesn't know what he's got, or there's something wrong with the whole listing.

Seems it's a bit of a chimera, since the 2.0 V6 wasn't available in the UK, according to the wiki.

Indeed, I don't understand the logic of putting it in; a 1.6 Pinto swapped for a 2.0 Pinto would have been much easier, and probably cheaper; and the Pinto can be tuned to produce extra geegees in an afternoon with a flat screwdriver, some sandpaper and a hammer. I NOES THIS

Yeh, but... The noise.

I went to Cologne as a passenger in a new 17M with the 1.8 v6. Impressed this (kid) as a very  quiet car.  Much later, the 4.0 v6 in a rented Windstar utterly failed to impress.  Wheazy, rough and gutless.
