People get very upset about their Escort variations!

punisher5112 · 07-02-2020 10:21AM

What's a real Mexico???? Drug compartments for hidden stash as standard and a gun rack?

lassykk · 07-02-2020 11:54AM

Think we can all agree this is the Escort that you want

What if it was a Mexico MK6? Could be underneath all that glorious pink fibre glass

May be wrong, but weren't cossies finished with the end of the mk5? (mk6 being the facelift?)

Quazzie · 07-02-2020 03:06PM

If it's a genuine Mexico it's probably worth that money to someone.

For €1650 I’d rather do it in a big engined RHD BMW for the same cash. Imagine 3 or 4 lads in that skip going around Europe.

I'd light the back seat of that fiesta on fire while we were driving towards the ferry for the crack.

Interslice · 13-02-2020 12:31AM

What a tool. Fot that you could rent a new fiesta for a month and keep the 500 quid for no ferry.

I could be way off the mark, but I've never heard of a Panda Abarth.

Reg obscured so can't do a vehicle check, and description is one of the poorest I've ever seen with next to zero information (hoping to get interest with that effort is probably worthy of this thread on its own). :rolleyes: Looks to me like a 100HP Panda with 4 spoke alloys off an older Fiat Coupe?

I must be missing something? Surely this is a €2k car, especially when you can buy a genuine 330ci for €3k?

Not a 100HP either - not as it stands now. The 100HP had a 1.4 NA, comment on ad is that it is now a turbo T-jet engine. Plus the 100HP had standard Fiat single pots, the car in add looks to be on Brembos.

AFAIK there was never a Panda Abarth - Fiat were concerned it would take sales from the 500 Abarth

The ‘offset square plate for no reason’ has to add value too.

What's meant by "easily insured" too?

mondeo · 13-02-2020 01:19PM

What a waste of money putting a bloody 325 engine into a 316, it is still a 316. I suppose it's still taxed as a 1.8 to. I am sure there is extra structure rigidity built into larger engined models compared to a basic 316 which would worry me. Why didn't he just buy a bigger engined model and be done with it. Bound to be alot cheaper, unless he is some young lad who could only ever get insured on a 316, which he probably is looking at the square plate on the front and the blacked out tints.

It means it’s not declared as being a DIY drivetrain swap to a 3.0.

A standard 316i is infinitely more insurance friendly than a 330i or a Frankenstein conversion.
