eddyramrod Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 37 minutes ago, Poweredbyhopealone said: I love these little things. Particularly how to modern eyes it looks like it should be a hatchback, but isn't. Putting a cooking B-series in a scabby one of these is probably my most often had car fantasy. They are though, well some of them. The Countryman model looked exactly the same as the saloon until you opened the back, at which point a two-piece tailgate revealed itself. Confusingly the Innocenti version (Italian and other European markets) had a one-piece lift-up affair. I'm sure the B-series transplant has been done, but as with the Minor, it's a big chunk of weight to dump over the front wheels. It's significantly bigger and heavier than the A-series they came with. I've had mad ideas of using a 2.0 Pinto or 2.3 Volvo 740, but really, a 1.6 or 1.8 MX5 engine and box would be a long way more than adequate, and somewhat lighter.

Cavcraft Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 5087 MILES ONLY PEUGEOT BOXER Electric van, spares or repairs Camper conversion | eBay Basically. it's an electric van, but the battery pack has gone. He bought a Jaguar I-pace battery (and some other bits) but helpfully sold the Jag battery. To try and compensate* for this, all the electrical drive gear will be removed prior to sale. TL:DR? It's a £1,250 van for £3,950 and if you do convert it back to diesel you're essentially faced with a ticking time bomb 2.2HDi or a spazzy 2.3 Iv*co engine.

I like them for being way over the top! The styling seems to be very American inspired so may be Ford decided to make use of the spare under-bonnet space for the spare and free up some boot room. I don't know if Ford ever had plans to fit a V8 and whether that was partly responsible for the long bonnet or whether it was solely inspired by style*. goosey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My second A40 had a mildly tuned 1275 A-series and that was plenty powerful enough for the car - unless you're going to start upgrading wheels, brakes and suspension I wouldn't have wanted much more than the ~70bhp that was putting out. eddyramrod, Braddon81, Bamboocarman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoverFolkUs Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 The most expensive Daewoo on Gumtree, you do only get 28k miles on the clock though.. A snip at £1495. That's what I paid for one some fifteen years ago when I bought mine on an 03 plate in 2007/8! It's a 1.6 petrol manual. Which was as dire as it sounds. Not quite the £howmuch tax bracket though as it's older than 06 and not an auto. Fuel economy? 30mpg if you're lucky 😬 Mmm, misery. I still never found a good reason for the little LCD clock being placed where it is on the passenger side. https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/2003-daewoo-tacuma-16-xtra-5dr-mpv-petrol-manual/1444365619 Erebus, Bamboocarman, AnnoyingPentium and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
