Interesting cars on Ebay

[c.a.c131]

A bit late on but, bluebirds were crap! Typical Taxi car here in the midlands....might of had the japanese reliabilty but still pants!

My dads older brother had a 1987/8 zx Turbo with twin pee shooter tail pipes at the time 131 S3 2000tc B89 NLA was in daily use.

Crap power for an 80's Turbo and when the 131 was wound up the bluebird never got away nor did it pass.

Me and the next door neighbours were left to school in my Dad's 131, and were picked up after in the neighbours Mk1 Ford Sierra , I have always hate Ford's even as a child. The Sierra was replaced with a dsl Bluebird, from bad to worse but lucky enough sometimes we would have to walk home and this was more fun then the drive home in the that hen box of a Bluebird !

I would rather drive a Regata all day long, then drive a Bluebird for one mile.

I had a more basic one of these as a company car in 1990....they were a lovely car when they came out and really gave Ford a bloody nose in the showroom battle ...until the Mondeo was launched..

This is an interesting opportunity for any fans of the car....

This is a rare opportunity. I owned a late one of these CD Spec for 10 months in 1998  :-\following an awful relationship with a Rover 827 Vitesse .

I was not impressed with the driving experience of my 2.0L Cavalier (30,000 Milies in 10 months) before my license was withdrawn for 10 months following some speeding offences.

When I got my license back I bought a 2.0Litre Vectra. Superb A Road and Motorway Car and vastly better then the Cavalier

Back in 1990 I was not lucky enough to be 'blessed' with a company car - I was driving my first 2000TC Series 3 Super XPE613Y as a daily driver - which after 3 years of hacking about in was decidedly tired which was much better than any Sierra, Cavalier or Bluebird - even when the Super was 'tired'

Your right about the E30 320i. I had an 86 Black SE Model between 1993 and 1997. It was a UK Car that was being used by an Expat in Portugal. With 2 owners, full history and only 66,000 miles it was a great car . Superb motorway cruiser, just watch in the wet  . A real lack of power under 3,800 revs was also a slight pain.

I sold it to my best mate with 132,000 Miles. I then had to look at the thing looking great and purring away whilst I suffered with the 827.

It was only when I got the 2 litre Vectra in 1999 that I thought I had a car comparable with the 320i.

Happy times

I do especially like this quote from the ad:

The car has the original service book with first service due at 1,500 miles which is a free service! Imagine taking it there to claim the free service 40 years later!

[bellamacchina]

I like that quote and idea too. This car was sold at auction recently, great to see another dull car survive and what a fun to see it again

Worth every Euro and some.

The colour isn't first choice, I always preferred the bright Metallic Green or Blue.


1978 was a great year for Fiat 131 Super & Sport, S3 132, X19, 127 Sport etc etc
