I'll do them in size order:-
Mk 2 Granada 2.3 LX-
pros
It's big.
It can carry lots of stuff and four passengers in comfort.
Good towing car (with added 'Pump up the back end of the car so your lights don't point at the sky when towing' shocks)
Power steering and a decent sized engine make it an easy drive.
Cons
It's big
25 mpg
Can be difficult in small car parks
Series one Dutton Sierra (Ford 1600 crossflow)
pros
Two seats and a big load space
Great in traffic, small 'footprint' and fairly nippy.
Tight turning circle, great in small car parks.
Not very likely to be stolen (!)
Fibreglass won't rust
Cons
Only two seats
27 mpg
noisy (not a good noise!)
grotty paint
Vincent Hurricane
Pros
It's fun
Fibreglass won't rust
It's fun
It's noisy (good noise!)
Cons
25 mpg
Only two seats, but hey, who cares?
Hood don't fit very well, but who needs a hood?
Parts are sometimes difficult to find
Not as fast as it was, engine in need of a rebuild/replacement (110 000 miles since the last rebuild)
