Maybe; I've underestimated cars on BaT before, and the presentation on this one is pretty good.

This might be the most comparable car recently; it's a year older and has the less desirable S50B30 engine, but it's a real EU market car and has (probably) the more desirable interior.

But looking back on the scatter graph I revise my estimate up; I'll guess between 31 and 35.

Very lucky to have not had an accident in the first six months...

Capri? 5.0?

They all still hold a special place in my heart.

I still think Nick would be a much better driver if he had owned one and beaten on it in his more formative years. Opportunity lost.

I always liked the look of the 4 eyed foxes better for some reason.

This one checks all the boxes. Even with the 4 barrel.

It was like the LX 5.0 later body with a better looking front end and I think a better looking interior.

I agree that the 85/86 had the best looking exteriors, but the 86 was much more desirable than the 85. 1986 was the switch from carburetor to fuel injection and it made a big difference in how they drove. The 1987-95 cars had a much more livable interior, though.

But, then there's this.

kind of cool but the auto kills it.

Edit: snorkle is stupid since it is not good for actual real offroading with the terrible approach angle because of the engine hanging off the front
