The idea of winding those two up never occurred to me, honest.............. sm75

Anyway, I thought we'd agreed that we can use 'mark' designations to refer to basic bodystyle only, hence

Mk1.0 - nosecone style
Mk1.5 - nosecone + wraparound bumpers
Mk2.0 - smoothed front with quarterlights
Mk2.5 - smoothed front with one piece front windows
Mk3 - revised bumpers, tailgate and rear lights.

Dammit, I could have got pretty close to taking a pic like that once ...

Just realised I have a car of all 3 Mk's (although not intermediate versions), all three engine types, 1.4, 1.7 and 2.0 (although not injection) and an example of at leat one of each of 3 door and 5 door and saloon versions.

Is this a record :P (I'm sure not!)

That would also make a good photo, although getting them all together could be fun!

All we need to do now is find red 3drs of mk 1.5, mk2.0 and a van to have a photo of all different body styles of 3dr.
Finding a red MkI (MY77) would make it really good, the MkII (MY79) isn't a problem but a non chalky red MkIV will be.... sm4

If I do find a MY77, I'm really really hoping it WON'T be red - I need some variety in my 343 life!
