Dad then got in to his Vauxhalls and unfortunately he's stuck with them. That said, he did have a couple of very nicely modded Mk2 Astra GTEs.
But the favourite, and they do say save the best til last, was....
Mk2 Escort. But not just any Mk2, oh no. An ex Ari Vatanen Rothmans rally car that he raced in 79. I fully understand rally cars get re-shelled and plates changed etc, but this had paperwork to prove the provenance. The car had been painted diamond white over the Rothmans livery, but still had a 2.2 BDA under the bonnet that returned around 3mpg on full chat! Crazy car, really was. Still fully caged, and had all the gear still fitted - twin fuel pumps, switchgear, co-pilot dash, arches, 2 up 2 down cibies etc etc
