Who has any? My stepson & girlfriend seem to be hankering after one.
He had a Mk1 Fiesta a few years back as you may or may not recall. More recently he had a motorbike which somebody pulled out in front of a few weeks back. No serious injury but it looks like the insurance compensation is going to be spent on a small classic & the sights seem to be set on a Toledo. I don't know anything too specific about them bar a good prod at the body parts & a general drive around noise & shakability test. Prices seem to be around the £2.5/3k mark.
I've seen a tidy Mk1 1300 FWD for that which l would plump for over the later car but thats me & l guess they're a little more complex than the later RWD car. I do have good recollections of the BSM Dolomites l had my driving lessons in, l'm guessing they were 1300's. They seemed nice, comfortable little cars.
What tips are to be had from you chaps?
