Ford 100E 5cwt van - my first & only Ford 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

08 FL2 TD4 SE Manual in Rimini Red (Now Gone)

last car was an audi a4,3 years old with 60,000 on clock,got rid of 12 YEARS later with 162,000 engine slightly smokey,best car l ever had,NO problems apart from usual (new battery,exhaust,timing belt) NEVER let me down,no unexpected bills,l wonder if l can expect same with the freelander????

actually before the audi l had a reliant scimitar v6 3.0,also a fantastic car,more maintenance obviously,but used as an every day car for quite a few years,EASY to work on,powerfull and comfortable,a trully underated classic,just could not afford to have a fibreglass car properly resprayed (stupid money,but very time consuming),can still be picked up for very reasonable prices,deff recommend
