Must be absolutely fuckin rapid off the line m8... I have a Focus Titanium 1.6 with an auto box, it handles great, but is so slow the chassis is hardly challenged. On inclines on the motorway the thing downshifts to 3rd if you are going at 70, it is out accelerated by anything with more than 1 litre under the bonnet, and to cap it all, if you drive it with even the slightest bit of enthusiasm, it bare does more than 25mpg.

Dick Longbridge Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Have we had this beauty yet? It's identical to one my parents neighbours owned in the mid 1980s, complete with back seat. I remember the fella saying at the time it was an unusual one because of the interior setup. I didn't realise it was a specific 'Double Plus' model though. I've many happy memories of bouncing around in the back of my mate's mum's ropey ex AA H.A at a similar time in the 80s. Want.

Cavcraft Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Potatographed Anglia van, anyone? Ford Anglia Van | eBay There's a fairly simple* way to buy it, involving flying to Portugal, examining it, paying two different people, flying home, then going to Birmingham to pick it up weeks later. So, in a nutshell, it involves going to a strange land where you can't understand the locals, putting yourself at the risk of being bummed/mugged/used a drug mule AND you still have to also go to Portugal. 'It is not being used since 1985' Neither's Birmingham, M8 Lord Sterling, Fumbler, Shite Ron and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
