I didn't have my glasses on when I saw that and thought it was a wedge of cheddar.

Red Leicester, surely?

It's not a Mk3 though, an Si is quite a different beast altogether (rattly old CVH lump aside)

It is a mk3, well a 3.5 to be a pedant and they don't have a cvh they have a Zetec 1.6 which is a great little motor in them. 

I had one exactly like that, I loved it. 

Me and my lad who was only 7 or 8 at the time used to drive it to the end of the road and perform a handbrake turn everyday in it which he found highly amusing. In fact, he operated the bar perfectly and I did the rest. They handled like a dream as well, they must have been pretty stiff too as I drove mine 6 miles with my sunglasses still on the roof after various turns. 

Never had one second of bother with it but as it was a stolen/recovered unbeknown to me until a few days after purchase it had fucking 5dr seats in it!!! Cue access to rear via much handwheel turning and sliding seats forward. 

Twas my only compliant though. Mine was povvo spec as well, pop out sunroof and central locking, but it did have the all important PAS. 

Stupidly sold it for no other reason than I bought something else that was in truth not a patch on the old Ford and regretted it ever since, I can't even remember what it was but it was some dogshit vag product I think. 

£500 for that was a giveaway.

Didn't those pair of twats gus and will buy one of these as a non runner and it was a bendix unit or something giving them the grief? Apparently quite common on them. They went to some guys house that had literally every volvo known to mankind in it, proper old school take it off yourself kind of place we all love.

No way! 'Sad face' Fiesta IV was a quantum leap forward compared to puddingy MK3. 

But then I would say that as a 'proud' Puma driver. 

They were total dross, no sports model in the line up, fugly face, the little zetecs burned oil because even the dealers didn't realise they needed a thinner weight of oil going through them which was in fairness no fault of the excellent engine. They drove well too but boy really any better than the 3.5 model as that had pas and better engines at that point too. 

I can also assure you they shared almost every running gear component with a mk3/3.5 and the later mk5 as well as we changed almost zero tooling until the mk6 model 😉😉😉. 

IMO the worst fiesta ever made and boy could they rust!!!! A whopping 3-4yr model run tells it all,whereas its predecessor did 8 looking pretty much exactly the same all the way through. They were a huge flop in sales for Ford as well compared to the mk3. 

I thought the puma was great though and totally agree with you being proud of owning one, my jaw dropped when I first saw it in the free Ford magazine in work as I thought it was a concept car then a few months later they started selling them, awesome looking things.

My Mum would throw me out the house if I turned up with that thing... I wouldn't necessarily be stuck for somewhere to kip, however.

That one was showing as 1391cc though - is that not a CVH?  1.4 Zetec is 1388cc.

I  bet if you messaged about that  Merc  in Telford they'd say it was a typo and should be £1500 or something.

Oh no I didn't realise that was an option on them, I thought they all had "16v" on the back. 

That's grim if it is and why it's 500 no doubt.

"An incredible hand built wooden model of USS Ronald Reagan nuclear powered supercarrier"

"total length approximately 800 cm, height 91 cm and depth 126 cm."

"This de-constructs into approximately 4 sections and is possible to fit in a long wheel based transit van."

 

 

Right, who has a LWB transit, smokes crack and has a few hundred quid spare?

I think these are probably the best looking  50 ever made, and this  one has been rebuilt by 'the' expert in the field.  £4,600 reserve not met

That wasn't a turbo, it was a 1.7 Two Tone edition, it belongs to one of the club members who bought it on the show, it's been a Saga for sure...
