Ive been looking for one of these for years!!

[falkster]

Ever since I was a child I have always liked these, my uncle had a 1300e escort in the same colour and Ive always wanted one but one never seemed to come up - last night it happened!!!

Now, how do I tell the wife??

Purple Velvet I think ?

Oooops!!

Retro cool!!! Love that dash.
Silly question perhaps, but is that original paint then?

[falkster]

The colour is original but it has been restored a couple of years ago.

How do you tell the wife? In the immortal words of the Buthole Surfers "It's better to regret something you have done, than to regret something you haven't done."

It is easier to ask forgivenes, than permission.

AFAIK. The colour is Aubergine.

Looks like the manifold is glowing red like a race car engine !

[Blakewater]

Car manufacturers should do more interesting colours like that now rather than just boring black, grey and silver. A friend of my mum was disgusted because her husband had bought a Mazda Bongo camper van without telling her. Now he should feel guilty.

Very nice,

.... And what did she say? Or chickened out?

Right at the last minute in my experience. Why prolong the agony in your ear?

I'm going to slip it in when I can! I've got a pretty good wife that doesn't give me any grief but 8 cars (she only knows about 5) is enough to push her over the edge!
I have made space in my kitchen, Sarah wants an island made in the same style as the kitchen but I was thinking a Suzuki X7
