I used to buy and sell cars quite a lot a few years ago ( prob about 10-12 years ago ) and mainly dealt with Fords and XR4x4's were always good sellers as nobody could afford the insurance on a cossie !!

Best car i have ever owned was a red mk1 XR4x4, D84NTU was the number of it and was in mint condition and felt as fast as fook at the time and not many cars could look near it, remember a mate of mine having a Mazda 323 Turbo and him thinking this was the fastest car ever.... until i blew him away on a race through a twisty windy section of road through a forest

Them were the days and im always thinking that i would have another XR4x4 if the right one came along, seen a really nice blue one for sale a while ago in Aberdeen area, cossie interior and escos wheels and looked in mint condition as well, was big money though IIRC.
