I always thought these things were quite nice to drive in comparison to the other stuff of the same age. 

My old man had a first generation Cherry, an E10 which was a hoot to drive, it was nippy and felt a lot like a Mini. When he replaced it with the later N10, I couldn't believe how shit it was in comparison. I remember thinking that the gear ratios had all been raised by the larger diameter wheels, but the body was also a lot bigger and although quieter it was incredibly sluggish, with the controls lacking any sort of feel. 

But other opinions are of course available.

I have sorely, sorely wanted one of these for a long time but reading old threads on here suggests they are badly made, thirsty, rust prone and have weird electrical faults.

I think the chances of finding a rear subframe for this FB Marketplace St. Helens based MOT failure are at absolute zero (X216 YWL for anyone that cares). If it was close to me and just above scrap money I would though.

Yes, but what are the downsides to XG30 ownership?

Very popular as learner cars when they were new, my mum passed her test in one.

I rented a V10 Econoline minibus on a holiday to Florida in 2007, was amazed how economical it was, we drove around for nearly a week before having to buy petrol. With lots of smoky u-turns and teaching the kids how to do donuts on Daytona Beach. Eventually filled it up and discovered it had something like a 50 gallon tank! Luckily petrol was about €3 a gallon and a dollar was 50p, wouldn’t fancy it so much at £7.50 a gallon.

I always thought it was mad they had a basically 7 litre v10 petrol in vans and pickup trucks although I think dodge had an even bigger 8 litre v10 that made less power around the same time.

That needs “ordinary van” in big letters on the side and a packet of werthers originals on the dash.

Family members maintained a fleet of these and AECs in period for a local haulage firm. A license and ownership of one of these is on the to do list. Storage, as always, is the limiting factor. What a beaut though 😍

If you did buy it, I'd pray that you found a subframe for it, then buy it off you once fixed

Mk1 Focus in fun 2.0 Ghia spec. Lots to like about this except 

"Last MOT'd and on the road in 2016...will need work to the brakes, possibly coil springs and new tyres"

so the £1500 price looks to be a factor of 10 out. Nhants.

Rust and painting bits like this then asking a lot of money. Numberplate rape too.
