Another bargain!

Were they a common car back in th'day?

I mean, were they as common as a mk2 Granada?
Or a 90s Scorpio?

I'm far to young and gorgeous to answer that, we need someone more 'senior'..........

I borrowed a mk3 zodiac to collect an engine for my HA viva from a local scrappy. It had the most nausea-inducing, soggy ride imaginable and the 'steering', went something like this.....

NAVIGATOR: Port 30.
PILOT: Port 30 aye.........
PILOT: 30 degrees port wheel on, sir.......................................
PILOT: Helm doesn't answer, sir.

I think that's a hideous mess compared to the original, which was classy, functional and tasteful.
My bro had 3 of these, the best being a 1962 3.8 mk2 he paid £80 for.
I had one mk2 and two S types which were really plush, though not quite as quick.

Happy days

runs on fresh air

[lozz]

looks tidy that,

runs on fresh air, idoubt it

[sirwiggum]

If it's running on fresh air they need to check their fuel lines and fuel filter housing for leaks.

Must be a nightmare to start.

Its better than the one "it runs on the smell of diesel"
Although the thing with these wee pugs is they did just about manage it, my mums 106 she would put £5 of diesel in and run the thing on almost empty everywhere, and it never stopped.

Ah, the good old days where £5 of fuel got you somewhere, if i put a fiver in mine it wouldn't start for 10 minutes because it would be to busy laughing at me.
