Those Sierra's seem to be the latest casulty of the'crikey, where'd they all go?' list of disapearing cars.
The Capri looks very clean and tasty. Looks pretty Bodie & Doyle too in that colour.

Nice selection, Capri's and sierras seem to go hand in hand, maybe its an avoiding Excort tax thing ;D  Great. Really 10MPG? gulp, i was just considering one of those!  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Please don't let that put you off, its worth it, trust me. To be honest mines ex-police, I`ve no idea how many miles its covered (it certainly aint the 26k its showing!) and I don't know what the police did to it either, could have been chipped up or anything, it was an unmarked motorway patrol car, still has a really out of place blue rocker switch on the centre console which I assume would have operated the blue lights under the bumper (which unfortunately are no longer there). I have heard of people getting 20 + out of these and of course its all down to how you drive!

Yeah, thats what they say, I'll keep my options open and start cruising driving again, what a winter tool though. |

Great earlier this year when everything round here ground to a halt for the day because of a bit of powdery snow, everyone pulled over spinning their front wheels pointlessly and then probably wondering how an old Sierra was flying up the hill they were stuck on...

Did an insurance quote as a daily last night for one, not bad really £530, thats meant to be doing 8000 miles p/y, imagine how much that would cost! Why am i getting ideas about jacking one up on knobblies!

Why not, I`ve seen Transits like that, in fact I think Ford made them that way (not many) and the first one I saw was black with the bottom half in chequerplate and a bull bar (belonged to a private security firm) and it looked like like something Dolph Lundgren would design, but really good at the same time!
