Morris minor Wolsey hornet Ford escort Morris marina (so called because when it rained you could moor a boat in the boot) Austin princess Ford Capri MG Metro MG Maestro efi Peugeot 405SRI V6 Ford Mondeo Subaru WRX Merc Ml And finally the first Vauxhal 2.0i SWB frontera closely followed by a LWB 2.2 I would prefer a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

Re: Before you had a Frontera......Starting from now and going back into history ....
My truck 1997 Nigara Sport Granada 2.0 Ghia (from new) Sold part-ex before it became a terminal MOT failure. Cortina (Series 3) Sold part-ex. Mini. Fell to bits and scrapped Lotus Elan S3 hard-top (1966). Sold for more than I paid for it. Still on the road according to the DVLA Vauxhall Viva (series2). Fell to bits but sold. My father always reckoned that there was one born every minute! MG1100. Got as far as Warrington when it sounded like all 4 big end were knocking ... scrapped. Triumph TR5. Chassis was rotted but sold anyway. Well, it was a classic! Mini. Fell to bits and scrapped MG Midget (series 1, similar to the series 2 Sprite). Fell to bits and scrapped Austin A35 van. Fell to bits and scrapped. Sumbeam Talbot 90. Threw a big end shell through the crankcase on the M4 Morris Minor (series2). Fell to bits and scrapped. Morris 1000 van. Crashed in Teddington and scrapped. Ford Popular/Anglia ("sit up and beg"). Ford Pop body and rolling gear with an Anglia engine in it. Crashed and scrapped. Not to mention the "works" vehicles; Transit, Viva van, Landrover 110. If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is.
Any similarity between prototype and production equipment is purely coincidental.
