    Even though they were rare enough here,they were everywhere in the UK.
    and depreciated like normal.
    A friend of mine recently bought a cabriolet for €900 here,immaculate condition,1.4 with manual steering.

    I'm not a Ford fan at all but that's a super looking car.

    pity it's not the RS Turbo - they were silly fast with shocking torque steer and a very hard ride, but fun !

    I hate all those Escorts. No charm or character at all in my eyes.

    Lot of car for the money. Looks like decent condition and not a bad price.

    1.7 litre engine - I'd say this thing sounds great but isn't exactly speedy.

    Really looks fab though. You'd be tempted to pull the VW logo off and pass it off as some boutique Italian foray. :D

    Looks good, but for that money there's far nicer cars out there with a lot more power. From wiki:
    A car named SP1 was also built, but due to its very poor performance (only 65 hp (48 kW) with a 1600 cc engine), it was soon discontinued. The same problem plagued the SP2. In fact, a malicious joke at that time was to relate the "SP2" name with "Sem Potência" ("Without Power", in Portuguese).

    Nice car by the looks of it, Alpine alloys and the Highline spec to boot, but the fact that the NCT is out at the end of the month and there seems to be no NCT report doesn't bode well for it IMO.

    Still a true 80's classic, although being built since 76-77 there are a few around that are entitled to a ZV number and subsequent cheap tax.

    The reg is 89-W-1994, that would annoy me just a tiny bit that its not 89-W-1989 :o.

    That 635 was for sale last year, or so, same picture.

    Anyway it had 2264 hits in 20 hours and was sold. I have to say I certainly would have looked at it at that price !

    If anybody here is thinking of buying it I have an ECU that will run that car that can be borrowed to see if that cures the non start issue

    I knew I recognised the picture, just couldn't place it!

    It looks in good condition. 5 years ago these were going for several times that. Sign of the times - the classic car market is very poor these days...

    Indeed I do:D
    As the man said, sold now and the phone hasn't stopped ringing since the ad went up. She's off to Derry on a trailer with her new owner who will pay just £220 (sterling) to tax her.
    I had loads of enquiries from the UK and now I see why!

    It is a lovely car and I had some great years with it, but the 928 is a real hoot to drive and I'm very priveleged to also have the stag for the fine weather, so that and the extortionate road tax led me to move her on.

    I probably priced it a bit low judging by the phone calls, but after five years the car owes me nothing and it's gone to a very good home so well wear Kevin.

    Mark.

    Seen as I've quibbled over a mere €2 before, I'll quibble over £5, it's only £215 (for a large engined car in TC11)

    That's what I thought at first glance - but then I saw the metal rollbar. Thought I was oh-so clever figuring out it was a Stag of another Boardsie... but then I see the rest of the comments outing all the details!

    I remembered someone here loved RED cars, Hifive!

    This looks like a beauty for the cash.

    I wonder if the missis would mind if I traded in the family Passat Estate for this?
