It was a great family car at the time. As I say it got written off, bought a Rover 400 and the rest as they say is history
Nice one and from new as well, when they came out they were pretty pricey I think.

I have too say I like it, its cheap too run and goes well, very light weight.

Rover 400 again there gem my dad had two of them in 1996 and again in 1997.

I'm big fan of the mk1 and mk2's the history they had and the styling is just something too admire.

I didn't think I'd like the Mk6, I bought mainly for me and my girlfriend well ex now, she was going for her driving lessons and if she had passed I would have put her on insurance with a 1600 engine its was going too be pretty cheap.

I very nearly sold it last week, after selling my astra van and needed a car too get me about, transferred everything too the escort and driving it for a few hours.

I quickly changed my mind.

I can appreciate this Mk6 it may have been common front wheel drive model but it kept us going.
