benham3160 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Firstly....Not even going into this one, mine was this colour, with a blue drivers door. Bought it when I first worked in an MOT bay for £20. I had one of these too! Felt like a luxury car after the T*lbot. None of that modern 999cc FIRE engine stuff for me though. I had a rapid 800cc OHV!!! I then had one of these, in that colour! 1298cc Simca OHV engine, same as the one out of the Talbot. Wasn't a bad car to be fair, had 130k on the clock when I got it, drove it for another 20k with no issues. THE FIESTA PHASE I had these two bad girls together! Juliet I, and Juliet II. Both 120k mk3 Popular Plus's. Bought as a "joblot." Even had identical rust patches! £100 a pair, both with about 3 months MOT!!! Benham Finally Moves to OHC!"Sooty" Dreadful poverty spec 1.8D mk4 Fiesta. Bought from father in law, and within a week dropped her belts. Simply couldn't be arsed to repair her. (The one on the left)This was "Bev" my 306DT, tuned up quite a bit. Pretty rapid for an old diesel, (aprox 125BHP + lots of torque,) shredded her clutch at 240,000 and was deemed and uneconmocal repair. **tear in eye** "Marion..."I bought Marion when I was a student nurse. I needed something cheap (£150,) and cheap to run. Marion fullfilled both roles prefectly. She'd done 200k, but had a complete history. She happily munched away at 2500 miles a month for a year, with only a battery and a shed load of oil changes. Wonderful Isuzu lump was old, but willing, never returned less than 600 miles from a tank, even when provoked. Even passed an MOT first time before I got rid of her. Recently sold. Then Sharon........ Can anybody beat that for a list of shite cars? There has also been a 1.5D Corsa-B kicking about during there too, and a rather nippy 1.4 mk4 Fiesta, just shame the Fiesta had both a petrol, and an oil drinking habbit!

Lee_2f2f Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 nice history, guessing that the escort has been given face lift, looks like a K 1992 MK5b with 5B mirrors and a mk6 front?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benham3160 Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 nice history, guessing that the escort has been given face lift, looks like a K 1992 MK5b with 5B mirrors and a mk6 front?? It appears to be made out of bits to be honest..... I've never seen a mk5 with a mk6 front, aparently people do swap them..... She's also Melina Blue, which I didn't think came in until much later....... Regards,Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
