stephens_xpack Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 Nice car. You don't really see them anymore which makes it all the cooler
peterbilt Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 have you got round to driving it yet one day i will take fotos of mine so you can see
ann_capri Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Posted July 30, 2007 no , lee taxing it this week , but he will drive it more than me , ive only had 2 driving lessons and still got to work more on my braking , i only got it wrong twice this time , plus it has no power stering so it might take a bit of getting used to , so it will be quite back roads till i get the hang of the car
bortaf Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Just sold a 2.0 Mk2 hate to think what they would have been like if ford ever decided to fit a 1.6 mine was slow enough Looks right nice Had a 3.0 consul back in the 80's lovely motor
Miller Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Just sold a 2.0 Mk2 hate to think what they would have been like if ford ever decided to fit a 1.6 mine was slow enough I think you could get them with a 1.6 in Europe!, at least the Mk2s I belive. Love that Mk1, great choice of first car!
lee_capri Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 didnt no they done a 1.6 the wife 2.0l drive like armchair and is a very nice and relaxed ride still pulls a ton no trouble at all
Lilo_Capri Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 nice car and nice wheels too. they'll suit that car a treat.
Miller Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 didnt no they done a 1.6 the wife 2.0l drive like armchair and is a very nice and relaxed ride still pulls a ton no trouble at all Just begining to think I made it up, but theres a magazine road test of one on german ebay for sale and I just found this pic that I had on my hardrive. Think they were very rare, like our 1.3 2 Door Mk5 Cortinas. Really really love your MK1!
