    Re: My sons first old (classic?) car purchase

    Bloody Hell, that's in not bad nick at all! Was gonna say "where do they come from" but having also driven one of those 1.3s back in the day, I can understand why you'd keep it in the garage and never bother using it unless you really, really had to...

    Funny though, isn't it, how stuff like that, which was commonplace and practically a disposable item, is now suddenly interesting! Good on No. 1 Son for tracking it down and buying it! There's a fella round here who I sometimes see in a quite well-preserved two-tone-green Vauxhall Chevette saloon - Y-reg so 1982. Wouldn't have touched it with a bargepole back then, but now it's weirdly attractive....god, I hope I don't get like this with wimmin, or I'm doomed...

    Nice one... a bit after my time with Fords but this appears to be a really genuine car.... and easy to work on !!.... get on top of the minor bits that need doing and then keep it !
