Brought this at the weekend of fleabay,seller is putting mot on it ,but i have been told it is a very rare production model,it is 1 of 18 estates produced for the uk market,and is now1 off 12 left on the road,it is due to the colour infra red,which was only done for 2 years,but now the even rarer bit is that this was an early production estate with it being the only 1 to have the cream leather interior.

Still one of the prettiest estates ever made.

Our traffic chaps had a pair some years ago, both of which are now long gone...

Circa 1996, my Uncle was given a white Mk2 Mondeo 2.5 4x4 to break when he was a Traffic Sergeant... Complete with reflective side stripe, light bar and mocha leather interior 

It was a Ford factory demonstrator that they ran for a month.

Still not as rare as 3.2mv6 estate,, when I sold mine there was only 6 left..  But for some reason your mundain is worth more, so chick it in a barn for 10 years, then we'll be millionaires Rodney

Surprising that the 220 only gave out 226BHP, as my 2.0 Ecoboost is, reputedly, 236.6!

Don't forget the mighty 3.2 V6 Omega, 211BHP!

Any modern Turbo 2.0 4 pot has more power than older 3.0 6 pots.

Aye,My posh Vectra pushes out 260bhp and it'll chip to close on 300 without any other mods

Its an old engine, built in a time when petrol engines were getting no development.  And also from an era where cc could be used instead of silly turbochargers.

Remember the 3.2 is a penny pinched, knobbled version of the superior 30yr old 3.0l.

That said, I'd much rather have a 30yr old NA V6 than a modern, nasty small engine petrol turbo.
