I had one of these for a couple of years, cracking car for the money if you ask me. They're not without their issues of course, chief amongst which being a Ford is of course rust, but then what car of that age isn't. At £750 you're never going to lose a lot of money if it all goes wrong either way especially as bits like the wheels and seats will make you a fair bit back.
Re fuel consumption, I think it was best summed up by someone on here I read once - "little better than a range rover"! But hey, as long as you're not doing a mega mile commute every day who really cares!
Pretty sure they all had blue ST dials. There was a limited edition version, had different (heated?) seats as opposed to the standard black leather if I recall correctly.
Get some pics up mate
