If you've got space and the facilities to take it to bits, probably worth snapping it up. 81k mileage isn't too scary. Definatley considered it, before I was a bmw nerd I had a succession of pumas, including a late 01' puma Black with them mondeo fake split rims, fond memories! It's not far from me either...

Imported from Switzerland in the 90s and with the same owner ever since.

That's hilariously fucking overpriced for the condition it's currently in, and being a left-hooker won't help it either. I paid £700 (admittedly on here) for a 1.8D with an MOT until August 2022 in similar, if not marginally better, cosmetic condition.

Later, Dad replaced the Commer PB1500 van I practised driving in with a Mk 2 van after I'd passed the test. Later, a M8 lent me his long-nose twin rear wheel Mk 1 to move house, which got nicked after we'd unloaded it. Ford locks were atrocious. grogee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
