I believe that Mk 4 Mondeos that have the torquey Transit engine are quite rare these days, so maybe I could in for a similar windfall?  :)

Agreed.....don't take a penny less than  £150,000. :)

Seconded.  :y  The Mondeo MK4 is easier on the eyes, especially as a sporty estate, more economical and almost as fast as that Sierra.  I bet the fool that bought that Sierra is kicking himself for being lured in to bidding so ridiculously high on that ornament.  ::)

The Monsit Titanium X is a very under estimated motor car!  :y

What extra bells and whistle's do you get with the Titty X specification?

FTFY. ;)

Cheeky bugger!  ::)

I believe a variant of the 2.2 TDCi (Puma?) went in the Land Rover Defender as well, so it has a fine pedigree!  :D

Half leather sport seats, stiffer suspension, adaptive headlights, the weird thing where the left side fog light comes on as you turn left...

Swmbos nephew is doing a bare shell / nut & bolt restoration of a Sapphire Cosworth.
Hugely impressive work. It will be a lot nicer than a new one when he is finished it.
Kind of thing I would love to do if I had the time / facilities and skill.
Its weird being the same age as old people !

One car my missus always wishes we'd kept was a 1987 Renault 11 Turbo she really loved it but she collected points like they were going out of fashion! Traded it in for a Montego Countryman for her..😁
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.
