These big jags are amazing machines and as much as I like old fords the run of the mill stuff is not. Too me they’re massively under valued for what they are .

barrett Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 That's not a great example of an S-type (wires AND whitewalls???!) but yeah, they still do seem like a real bargain especially considering how strong Mk2 prices have remained. And when everyone says the S-type is a much better car it seems like a no-brainer really. I should probably do the ropey old 60s Jag thing before the petrol runs out.

vaughant Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 On 5/25/2022 at 5:33 PM, SteersWithThrottle said: I never at any point said they were awkward. Having never driven a Berlingo, I can't say what differences if any there are between one and the Peugeot Partner I drove. What I can say is that the gearchange was like stirring a bagful of spanners in treacle, the clutch, brake, and accelerator pedals felt like they were connected using sponge cake, and the steering seemed to be via a steering box made from lego. The most annoying thing however (apart from the 62mph speed limiter and g-sensor/tracker/fucking back seat driver fitted by An Northern Council) was the complete lack of any adjustment for the driver's seat, which I find utterly unconscionable, and extremely uncomfortable. Our VW Transporters are a much better drive, a Fiesta Mk3 diesel van was pretty good, though had a weirdly low ride height, resulting in several encounters with Fleet Enforcement querying the load level, the Corsa E van that replaced the Fiesta is a nice little thing, though it takes forever to warm the engine up, and many people liked the Transit Connects we used to have, including me. I've also driven both petrol and diesel Transit Mk3 and 4s, Merc Sprinters, ERF C and E series trucks, LDV vans, Astra vans, even an Iveco Luton body when I helped the SIL move house, pretty sure the Partner is the worst of the lot. Well I can't argue with that description other than to say you must have been really unlucky and ended up with a total wrongun. I've had 2 now and maybe driven 5 more and while I agree with the steering thing ( bit of a tadts) I found/find the rest of the controls really good but then maybe I've been lucky? Can't fault any of the other vans on your list though, but then I do love a van 😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first owner being a factory owner from Wigan and the other 5 being unable to afford an oil change? 🤣🤣🤣 Awesome. My mate had a Mk2 cavalier 1.6d in that off red colour they all seemed to come in on an E plate. We drove off to Oxford for the Ford fair, me in my mums fiesta auto which was my only working car, a few others in convoy and my mate in the Mk2. As we pulled out of Swansea one of the lads asked him if he could pick this girl up called Lisa which he happily did as she was fat and single and a bit of a girl, exactly his type. Trouble was she lived on quite a steep hill and he boiled the brakes on the cavvy going downhill. Balls. OK, let's think about what we're going to do, perhaps phone the AA, try bleeding them etc but when she came out of her house squeezed into her very tight black jeans with a clear view of the undercrackers he claimed the brakes were suddenly OK. Drove all the way to Oxford and he admitted he'd had to pump them most of the way if he had to brake hard but the temptation of young Lisa was too much. Still, he had a good evening with her as I did with my mrs of the time..... And someone rolled a car in the camping field.... And we managed to drift my mums auto fiesta.... Without a Mk2 jag in sight 😉😉😉. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Longbridge Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 This lives a few doors down from me and is a clean little thing. I don't know the lad but I've always liked the look of the car. His advert is a bit shite - the hardtop isn't shown but is ready to bolt on, albeit a different colour. I've no idea on values now as we sold our fourth mk1 a few years back now. It looks sound for £3k. I reckon he'd flex on price too as a newish Kia thing has recently appeared so I bet he'd prefer the £££ in his account rather than the Mazda sitting around... I could probably squeeze it onto my drive for a couple of weeks if required. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/371014021532398/?ref=facebook_story_share LT84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're looking to move to Europe in the next 2 years or so, most likely Spain or Portugal. Is it still the case out there that you can buy a car from anywhere in the bloc and re-register it quite easily? A friend of mine used to do this frequently as he reckoned older cars were way cheaper in Germany than in Portugal where he lived. As he worked offshore he'd simply fly into Germany from the rig, but the pre-agreed car and drive it home over a few days/sometimes "a 1'nner" depending upon where in Germany it was but I've lost touch with him.
