Nice and basic and a good price too. Good base for a fun little hot hatch.

I have just realised, I have come full circle.
When I started driving, I aspired to something with power steering, electric windows, electric, leather seats, air con, turbos, mega power, in car phone (it was the eighties), etc. The most luxurious car I could afford at the time was a 1.6 L Cortina MK 4 with a scrapyard sourced interior from a Ghia stuffed in it.
Now I have a car with all of the above, (indeed these features are pretty much standard, nowadays), I yearn for a revy naturally aspirated engine with a manual box in a lightweight car with the only concessions to luxury being perhaps electric front windows and a sunroof!

There are some RHD ones of these around too, and some with a V8
They are cheap because yee-har Yank lovers don't like 'em and especially hate RHD Yank cars.

Love that - the interior, the nudge bar, the side mouldings, the colour, the three door body style, the flaky K-series engine.Just quintessentially late 1990s.

It's already had the modified head gasket fitted so it should be ok. The K series isn't a bad engine once it is sorted. Although the more torquey TD4 lump works better in the Freelander.Just quintessentially late 1990s.
However, my inner cynic is wondering if the reason for sale is because the head gasket blew and the new gasket was fitted but the head is warped so it is still losing water. Hence the sale only 150 miles since all that work was done.

Just the perfect seaside runabout, whether that's for the house in Sandbanks or the beach hut in Blackpool (I don't know if there are beach huts in blackpool, but whatevs
).
