1275 A series is that? Anybody driven one?

I’d like to see a bottom-spec-1980s-rep-mobile race between one of these, plus 1.3 Versions of the Cavalier and Sierra.

I never knew these were A-series powered. Wow. What a life that engine had - A30 right through to Montego some bit of engineering.

Friends company ran a Montego as part of their company fleet when new. People who used it were really surprised they really liked it - that was how low perception of BL had fallen.

I'm now pretty much certain* that during the 1990s Mazda designed and built exactly one of each type of 323. I'm not sure I've ever seen two alike? For example this is a new one on me

4 door saloon? I thought they were all hatches and rarely more than 3 door? It must have cost an unbelievable amount in tooling!

Are these not quite a lot of Ford underneath? I have even seen a Fiesta Mk3 with a Mazda badge. Looks a fair buy - only worry that that wing damage has not caused other issues.

No, these are pre ford, this is a BG, same as the ex Vol red three door and my old pop up lights one.

 

Same car underneath, just a slightly different shape.

A late BG at that, replaced in 1994 by the BH (or BA?) by this version of the saloon, not that anyone noticed...

edit: I'd really like that one just posted, but have no need or justification for it!

edit2: It's seen plenty of sparkly stick though - and probably needs more next time.

I'm pretty sure this shape was available with a rear wiper, at least early on - thus joining the likes of the Ford Orion, Subaru Impreza and Peugeot 406 in the (sparse) ranks of saloons with rear wipers.

I've had a saloon for the last couple of months and I really miss having a rear wiper...

Be like me.  Mazda Montrose 626 Coupe:  https://www.autovillage.co.uk/used-car/mazda/626/mtz_14991_51364228?fbclid=IwAR3YFc1em8LOL-t4ZZavvzMydseo-4X_wOZfahH40wz3AOQja9ProxzZXwY

I think that is cheap for what it is.  Makes you remember how elegantly everyday cars could be styled - as opposed to today's ugly bug ball. Not sure if the was Italian styled - possibly Pininfarina? Just lovely. A sweeter nicer easier age IMHO. And at 10-15 years old these kind of cars were such great banger buys...those were the days...Great visibility and probably nice to drive. Needs a new owner to tuck it up in a warm garage.

Sounds like the challenges are mainly cosmetic; nothing nasty in the last MOT and its had some mechanical work.

A Volumex HPE is definitely on my bucket list. 

If you're seriously after one, PM me and I can send you pictures of mine which I'm tempted to sell.

Golly.

I’d love one but space is a challenge at the moment ... but I’ll PM you later anyway ...

We've had that before, and it still looks good.  I'm sure it was cheaper last time though!  I'd love to have a crack at that tbh.  Haven't got eight quid, never mind eight grand.
