Future Classic?

It'll be a looooooooooooooooong time until the Ka is a classic mate

Is she taking it to Simply Ford

I drove a KA when they first came out, and they actually drive ok.....Still not sure if I like them though

You can hear a Ka coming from a mile away, those little Endura-E pushrod engines tick like a bag full of nails, every single one of them!

Hi,
The KA is a great choice to have as a first car.

I like driving it for a small car its great fun Perhaps next year for Simply Ford. My Son might go in his Focus (my old one) or his mates Fiesta ST.

Not this one, it has the better Duratec engine. And its a great little engine with loads of torque for a 1.3

My son had a Corsa 1.2 which is a bit more of a lads car. IMO the Ka goes and handles better than the Corsa

The Fiesta ST is a future classic imo, as the XR2 is/was.....Providing the lads today don't write them all off

The Mrs has a 1.6 Petrol Focus Zetec, good cars although a bit boring.....

My first car was a Datsun 120Y, so anything beats that!

I agree the ST's will be a future classic.... Most will get written off so the ones that survive will become collectable. The Focus Zetecs are a little boring but good reliable work horses

You don't see many Datsun's around now, I bet one of those would be worth a small fortune now!

Hi Neil.

Great news your daughter has passed her driving test mate and has joined the Blue Oval Club

Ermmm....I presume her KA has a 'Blue' Oval rather than a 'pink/purple' one

All the best

Test drove an automatic 120Y 30 years ago as a cheap runaround.....I didn't buy it

My girlfriend at the time had the 100a....

That's what I thought.
This ad was posted in March, and I can't see it selling soon for that price.....

Great news Neil , best hide the Capri keys though, save any little mix ups
