Default Mondeo citrine

Anyone seen one recently? Been doing some research into them and I've not seen one up for sale for years. Wouldn't mind doing a resto on one as a mini project while I'm building my 3dr.

I would imagine most of them went in the iron like most mk1 mondeos did

Always wanted one in Citrine Yellow lol. Guy on Retro Rides is restoring a fairly famous one, think it was featured in all of the brochures etc and was a special RSi edition?

Sure there is a pic in the abandoned Fords thread of a yard with 5 or 6 of them in it?

Love the colour, not so fussed about a 136bhp mondeo. Always remember folk having their cars painted in this colour back in the day and I expect if I'd been flush I'd have had my pimped escort van done in it when I was 17

Lol, must be the same one, the one that goes around here looked like it need a good few quid spent on it!! Not seen it for a while though, so might be getting fixed up...?

Although, more likely, it'll have been dumped on the side of a road, or in a field somewhere....

Which garage does he work at? I knew most of the locals when I worked at the local Ford dealer...

Ł17,250 over 20 years ago. That's about Ł23,000 today which I guess would buy a current mid-range Mondeo?

Used to be one near me when I was at school, naturally as 14/15 year olds we thought it was cool, I know they're 22/23 years old now but in that colour they've not aged well.

The school librarian had a white saloon with the arch spats and the RS 7 spokes that looked much better even back then.

I know of a rough one thats probably for sale, its missing its interior though as one of the previous owners striped it to make it a track car but never went any further.
