These cars are starting to see a real surge in popularity today as 30-something people start to re-visit their youth, and in the case of the mk3 thanks in part to its featuring in "life on mars".
These cars were reknowned in their day as a reliable everyday family car, but in the interim years any that have survived this long may well have been through a period as a cheap banger-for many years they were worth practically nothing as newer more aeodynamic machines took their place. so careful inspection of any prospective purchase is a must. Do not believe everything the seller tells you. Over the years I have owned one of every UK model variant and have experienced most of the common faults and problems with these cars.
Firstly, a brief potted history of what was available. The mk3 was a totally new model in 1970, and used at first the 1300 and 1600 OHV "kent" crossflow engines in lower spec models- Base, L and XL models.
