Had that 8v twink in a transit and really liked it. Less so the fuel bill when fully loaded with motorbikes and family tugging a caravan from London to Wales, though to be fair it would still pull 80 on the flat and broke a ton less laden. Miss that van. The picture in my mind of it sitting on the depollution ramps still brings a tear.

I had a couple of smiley Transits with that engine.  A blue SWB which would do the ton, and a white LWB high top minibus which wouldn't, but would out-accelerate most vans up to about 70.  That one went to purplebargeken and ended up with Arthur Foxhake.  Neither was an economical vehicle.

I then had a Mk6 Transit with the later 2.3 twin cam - that thing absolutely flew.

Happy 2022. I'll add to the Ford DOHC conversation by throwing in my 1990 Scorpio auto. Not fast but it was reliable and reasonably economical for a big car. I seem to remember it having a sophisticated (for its time) engine management system, much more so than the older V6. It was quiet too.

"Very clean for year"...

🤣

It was a marginally entertaining prospect at £450 but £1200 now with 4 days left... Jesus

What an awful time to be into drivel

Here's another one for a slightly more realistic £1300, Stretton. I expect 25mpg is out of reach in these.

These go through engines if they use the CAVE code IIRC. A lot are running on replacement engines.

Cracker of a Sierra. Why was the 2.0 twin cam so hated at the time? 

Google it. It was shite and blew a lot thanks to under development by ford.

When new, I remember the Twin Cam feeling smoother and faster than thePinto , this was usually in Granadas. I head a few Sierras when 5-10 years old and only ever had one head gasket go. Even then it was still running fine , just using a lot of water and showed up on one of those bubble analyser things. I just swapped the engine for a low mileage one, took half a day including looking for spanner’s etc- and I’m the Worlds worst mechanic.
My Mrs had a beautiful 2.0 GLSi hatch on a J that when we picked up my brother’s first Sapphire Cossie, actually pulled away from it up to to 120 ish- but then what do you expect from £2000 Cosworths- that ended up with 300 bhp supposedly, then got nicked!
