Never seen a 1.1 in a mk4 before, seen 1.4 CVH in a mk5 cabbie before (i always thought that was the smallest engine ford ever put into there escort cab's)

I'd pay someone Ł100 to get that thing off of my drive

Can't say I've ever heard of a factory made 1.1, or after factory 1.1 for that matter

According to my CAP Data book for 1987-96 there was a 1.1 hatchback but only 1.6 cabs.

I thought all MK3/4 cabs were a 1.6, then in the MK5/6 you could get 1.4/1.6/1.8
