Finally the FSO is uk legal

[SambaS]

Well its done. The FSO is now fully road legal and on UK plates. Just got to fit a cd player so I can play Waterfront and then I dont think I could be any happier well, untill I get the Sapphire Cosworth anyway

[irish boy]

Haven't seen one of those in absolutely years. Where do you start with parts? readers car section thread needed!

[GC8]

Youre easily pleased! Aim low - reach your goals and exceed your expectations...

[SambaS]

Lol something like that, I've a few cars tho. Cosworth next, then Mondial then Diablo SE30. That would be in an ideal world obvs. the Cosworth is achievable and a Mondial isnt much more, but I dont like to trade up, I tend to keep them all!

weirdly all parts came from my local factors, calipers, handbrake cable etc. The same factors who cant get bits for my Ford Escort! Ha!

[ruff'n'smov]

Love it.

A taxi driver, where I lived used to have one with a karoke machine in it ...lol...same colour too

Im sure i heard or read somewhere that the more modern one's have rover's k-series in them, do you know if that the case ?

Book now running.

I have next Tuesday as 1st breakdown

[SambaS]

I believe they put them in the later version the Caro yes. Also the Pug xud diesel engines. And they made a 2.0 Turbo version for motorsport but dunno what that engine was. Oh and a mid engined Lancia Stratos one was built too ftw!

[SambaS]

It had issues with the carb around MOT time. I have breakdown cover. Its all good

Start a little thread in Readers Rides on here or perhaps on Retro Rides.

Not seen one in years. In my ignorance, I thought they were only on sale in the UK over a limited timescale. 88-91. I didn't realise they were bringing them in in 1984.

[SambaS]

1978 they started importing them I think, at least that was when they were first manufactured in Poland

[MJK 24]

We still need a Readers Rides thread!

Looks to be a very straight and genuine car. There must be a story to tell somewhere!

[GC8]

They started to push them when the Sierra was introduced IIRC. The adverts were designed to appeal to potential Cortina buyers.

• added to readers cars*

[Garlick]

I'd drive that. Well done sir.

I think you might be confusing it with the Hyundai Stellar.

[GC8]

Now you mention it, I might be!

[pistonpie]

[SambaS]

I've added it to readers cars... check that
