How long did you have it? I've got 2 mark ones along with the CSL. My blue mk1 has a RS1800 zetec and my latest is a standard 1600 xflow... it's a shame you couldn't keep both. Anyway, everytime you look at the CSL, you won't miss the old Ford!

I bought it in 1987 as my first car with a lotus twin cam fitted but being 17 I couldn't insure it. I put a crossflow in it (& sold the TC for £150!) until 1989 ish when I did a full 5 year resto on it. I sold it in 1995 but bought it back again in 2009 from the same guy! The crossflow was so slow so I fitted a 161bhp 1700 burton crossflow that was a nightmare in that tune! 11.7:1 compression! But 99 octane fuel and it was a rocket!!! Like I said it took a lot to sell it but financially it was the only way and I don't think I've made the wrong decision

My hat goes off to you... Twin Cam engined Mk1 as a first car! My first was Rover 216... if only we knew what would increase in value... that TC engine is worth a penny or two now! The CSL should increase over time... Well done and enjoy! |

Cheers! And yes I'd like to think that one day I'll buy it back!
