What the heck were they thinking / smoking

I had a V6 in the late 90's and enjoyed it apart from the well known immobiliser problem. More of a GT as opposed to a performance coupe though. A mate of mine had one similar to BRG with the tan leather interior - looked smart

I had a V6 myself in Lazer tint red and the interior in Saddle leather.

That was the first thing I did after joining the FPOC owners club. you can either bypass it or remove it all together.

I regret scrapping mine 3 years ago, had it for 7 years, but still if there;s one for a good price then I'll look into buying one again.

First thing I'd do with that car is remove the body kit, slows it down scrapes everywhere and spoils the looks for me, then again I can talk either with my Probe with the jobs I did.

















Not everyone's taste I have to admit, Still miss thing so much, one of the first cars I've owned and tinkered.

I'll shut up now, once I start about these cars that's it.

I'll be quiet now.

Good colour and interior combo I had the pale metallic blue with grey cloth - not so I had to get rid when the first one came along - trying to get a baby seat into the rear was a nightmare and ended up getting seat belt extenders!

They were much aligned cars and owners got some stick but they're now regarded as contemporary classics. You don't see many around nowadays

The rear seats were nightmare leg room was non existent, to be honest I think they should have made it into a two seater rather then a 4.

It was a good combo, the car cost £142 pounds and needed a cam belt and water pump, I was 14 when I had it, that was my first car, but was never able to get it on the road due to insurance prices for the model.

It would have made your jaw drop.

There becoming extinct and it won't be long now till there all gone, I'm constantly hunt for one and I will get one again.

The only problem is trying to get a good one and the sills are still intact.
they do rot on those sills, but other then that a strong chassis all round.

Other common problem was the distributor, still got spares here and HT leads which I'll keep.

If I had to choose between the Rover 75 and the Ford Probe, I wouldn''t be able to there both great cars in there own right, depending what your looking for.

I've had plenty of stick in the passed, OH YOU DRIVE PROBE DO YOU, named after surgical instrument.

I've had it for a while, 7 years of ownership and I blow it away.

I know, showed my dad some of the old cars he used to own that was on ebay, Jesus should have seen prices compare to what he bought them back in the 70's and late 60's.

If he only kept he said, we would have been rolling on it, the Morris 1000 was my dad's first ever car with the wooden windows surrounds at the back of it.
