Better than Escort+cheaper too   :y nice looking car-I only ever seen about 3 in my whole life-either they were a rare car in it's day or they rusted away fast-like them though :y

They were pretty rare.Not that many produced.Nicer looking than an Escrot,and  VX rather than Ford,but tbh an escort handled a lot better.Firenza was bigger and heavier with a big heavy engine in the front. ;)

Dont get me wrong.Vauxhalls could rust just as well as Fords did in those days. :y ;D
My Chevette HS had a rust hole in a wing before it was 4 years old. ::)

IIRC there were only 199 Saloons and 99 Sports hatch made of these so very rare indeed. A friend of mine had a couple of these a few years back until divorce took them away :'( ;D

I think the seller of this one is very vague with his answers. He's been asked what parts aren't original and he's repied as far as he knows it's all original. Surely if your buying a car like this you should know your stuff ::)
