Asimo Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 That SaaB 900 is lovely, ticks all the 900 boxes for me, auto*, no leather, no turbo, 2 door saloon, a real colour. One I will regret not trying to buy. **My dad's last job was machining housings for SaaB's Borg Warner auto-box. A task sub contracted to Rank Xerox. egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why they went to the trouble of giving it quarterlights... were they cheaper than ashtrays? BL Bloke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had both and agree the Mondeo was quite a big step forward. Very usable if you keep on top of the maintenance where Ford took their usual design/quality shortcuts.

Very usable if you keep on top of the maintenance where Ford took their usual design/quality shortcuts. If you think about the design iterations the Mondeo has had since, then it was probably Ford's Europe's biggest step forward... ever? Broadly speaking all the Mondeo has had since are increasingly silly styling changes and more interior toys. That generation introduced genuine aerodynamic design, front wheel drive, affordable multivalve engine, a proper driver's 'cockpit' and (I think) multilink rear suspension. The first gen Focus attracted a lot of attention but really all that was was just some radical styling, a better thought out body shape and a new suspension setup. egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Another breadvan Polo - this one in C Formel E spec, which means 3+E gearbox and a stop-start system. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F303235820984 Personally I’d be putting the original wheels straight back on and getting £££cashback by flogging those split rims and enjoying some usable steering. “New wiring loom back to front” I don’t think you mean that the way it sounds. I hope not, anyway. davehedgehog31, GrumpyCat, Dannyk and 6 others 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember a 2.0 ghia estate in white to a 1.8 glx hatch in white. It might be that he just missed the estate. But to be honest he was upset when they stopped making the cortina. He's on his third focus estate since he retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Fiesta was their first fwd platform, and the fwd escorts which also had independent rear suspension, but I also think the MK1 Mondeo was their first properly competent design after a few years in the doldrums.
