Struck me a few months back that I’d not seen one of these for years.  Always wanted one when they were current, but couldn’t afford one and ended up with a Renault Extra van for quite a lot less instead, and it was probably a better van in reality.   Use to do a bit of work in the Luton Factory back in that era and it was a little frowned upon to not run Vauxhall/Bedford vans.  My boss at the time still had a fleet of HA Viva vans, which he slowly replaced with Rascals🤦‍♂️.  Could quite fancy a Max as a classic motor, but it would need to be red or blue and I’d struggle to resist fitting a 1.6PEZ to give it a a bit of go.

These were famous for being the fastest thing on the road back in the day. Could easily outrun a Testarossa/911 etc.

This could be a good deal and a hell of a lot of bike for very little money, as it's £200 start and no reserve

Less than £3k and petrol-power. It would benefit from a set of those funky square-spoke alloys though.

That is fit.

I can’t believe that these are finally getting to the sort of price where I’d consider owning one; my mrs has been asking after one on-and-off. Her dream* could come true in the next couple of years.

Gone already

This one is in the same colour. But it does have the dreaded  PureTech 3 cylinder  wet-belt engine.

I like them too. 

I remember seeing a C-CACTUS concept car at a motor show (Geneva maybe?). It was full of good ideas to reduce cost and weight, while still remaining very practical. 

(Edit: it does look a bit like Chief Wiggum though) 

The production version was obviously more toned-down but there were still clever bits, especially the side protection - I'm surprised this didn't catch on. Weirdly we all still insist on fragile shiny metal, keeping Big Bodyshop fat cats fed. 

However the Puretech engine is hateful junk and should be eradicated from the face of this earth.

Since when did Mk2 Festers have round post battery cables?

Well that Fiesta doesn't have them. Just the original cables bolted to the round-post clamps.

A lazy bodge, but it keeps originality.
