Millet 4,497 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 It was Malt and as you could imagine it was my pride and joy with it being my first motor..it did not die there though..the engine had just been rebored to a 1400cc so i decided to by another fiesta with a knackered engine..and transfer everything off the ghia onto the new shell it took me a while but i got there in the end..it never drove the same after that though with it being a different shell.. . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mate of mine had an immaculate 1.6 laser in silver. It was a stunning car until he wedged it fast between both banks of a country lane! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simoman 110 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I passed in February 1992 and my first car was a montego 1.6l, it cost me £1,250 for the car and £1,500 for insurance, it also caught fire on the way to drop it off after selling it...............

I loved the sound of the old v6 Essex engine, my mate had one. It was a battered old thing but it sounded amazing roaring away down the street.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
