Just watched the Anglia one... Was I the only one to wonder about the wisdom of giving such a heavily modified car to a person who had only just passed their test? If the chat was anything to go by the engine sounded like a virtual full race job that was (is?) found in short circuit Hot Rods develop...

None hopefully... Going back to WD I managed to catch the Escort one, and thoroughly enjoyed it, like Mike I'd have preferred to keep the bronze colour (always felt it was a nice colour!)...

Forget the Gov mpg figures, they give no indication of the horrendous fall-off in mpg the MPVs (and 4x4s...

I would suggest that the Herald was more of a "ladies' car" http://www.itssolastcentury.co.uk/truck/sites/default/files/images/Triumph%20herald%20lotsw.jpg Couldn't resist...
