Didnt want to show my one solitary car after some of the stuff in this thread, but I shall. Probably not even considered 'classic' by those who still clearly remember the late 90s and Max Power.



1989 Vauxhall Nova with the sixties Opel OHV 1.0 engine. Nippy for engine size still IMO and makes a nice growl when pressed.

I bet that's a lot of fun on the right road. Keep it another few years and it'll be a rare car with a lot of people remembering how they had one

nice colour. . .4 doors though ? don't know my Fast Fords but are real ones only two doors ?? I mean no offence by the way, great looking motor

I doubt you'd know from the drivers seat though?

Given the choice between having a 4 door, or no Escort at all, I'd have a more door in a heartbeat.

I think the date this was posted may be relevant. Apologies to jcf if it's the real deal!

It is surprisingly fun even being a poverty-spec base model. Going to take it hillclimbing (see other thread in Club Motorsport forum) this year hopefully. Won't win classes but be a good laugh!

And that R5 GT Turbo here is just....:O Droolworthy!!

They did 4 door RS2000s in Australia (hence somebodies 'down under' comment I imagine), although I seem to remember they were basically a 2 litre four door, rather than having special 'motorsport' modifications like a Type 49 shell etc. of the proper 2 door.

I like the four door Mk2s more than I used to, but I don't think I could get have one myself.

A personal favorite, that looks superb.
Much nicer drive than the Fords of the time.

Lovely.

I've only ever had one Lancia, a black 1600 HPE, but it was a really nice car.

[Mr. Magoo]

didn't get far before engine seal went and spewed oil all over the clutch....nothing terminal though.

She's looking good though Alec. Do you go to many events? Perhaps bring it to Burghley House on 27th July? 150+ Astons and a few Lagondas going and it would be great tp see some older cars too. Thread here. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Ha - thank you - appearances can be deceiving, she's no show pony. I've yet to do any distance testing yet so I don't know how it behaves on a long run. Obviously the engine seal wasn't up to much!

Lovely car Kevbo!

Never seen one of that age without the increased height outer headlights (which I thought all the European cars had to meet the then current legislation).

I saw this car / you today, as I was disentangling myself from the A371 diversion. You don't hang around do you Thought "oh here comes a nice P6" then saw the plates (which I still don't like BTW )

I was in a black Monaro which you may have clocked.

Weird blast from the past. What prompted you to dig that up?
