1983MKIII 1.6 LSHARRY FENTON says...My first car, and the only type i ever want. have got an immediate thirst for a 2.8i. Even mine will hit 100mph, the sound of the small engine in a cavernous engine compartment is awesome and this is just a mint, totally unmodified 1.6 with 30k on the dash.

1969V6 any Haggarty says...This has to be the first performance car for the masses, it had everything you could ask for at the same price as a saloon.
