Chid 6,374 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Don't talk shite malt the mk1 and 2 are the best closely followed by the 5 , not a feckin 3 there bottom of the list , though I wouldn't of minded a savage :smile: Must say the mk5's was nice, think they did one called a crusuader with a 2.3 lump under the bonnet? What size engine did the MK1 lotus have in in chid? I would think they would fetch a few bob these days....... 1560cc it was based on the old consul classic block Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chid 6,374 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Aye the crusader would be the mk5 version of the savage (which was a mk3) love the old fords lol would love a mk2 done up grp4 style but with the vauxhall redtop engine in it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the_stig 6,614 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Fell of my chair when I saw the value of this. Had a MK1 1974 plate when I first passed my test but mine was a little 1100, bet that would be worth a few quid these days now too http://www.ebay.co.u...=item589499ae7a you can put what price you like on it -- will it sell .. i must have had 6 or 7 mini vans over the years -- i think there silly money now days .

Malt 379 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Loving this thread, taking me right back! Mate of mine used to have a thing for the old kadett coupes, had a few of them over the years. Best one he had was fitted with a 1300 crossflow, used to shift for a 1.3..

gnasher16 29,617 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Opel Kadett ...cor blimey that brings back memories,breaking down in the Rotherhithe Tunnel on the way to Millwalls ground only for the gearbox to fall out coming over Tower Bridge on the way back we must of been about 19....just walked away and left it f****n useless thing !.....Then had a Vauxhall Victor that was even worse !.....funny times. The mk 1 facelift capri took some beating for looks in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
