Black mk2 xr2 was quailty handled like a go kart and had enough crankcase pressure it could blow the filler cap off when you revved it

Haha, yes, it was. I went to Uni with Hans who went on to become the staff writer. I suggested it as a comedy way of getting it in the mag. He did, and I ended up getting an interview for Revs off the back of what I wrote... fast forward 11 years and I'm the editor of a Ford mag thanks to a shitbox Skoda!

Most folk were paying that on shitboxes, first quotes were 5k+, but if you keep plodding on you can get a good price...
and I/C blew apart as standard plastic end tanks to above 15psi, you need to strap em up with a giant jubillee clip to stop that.
