Today's Times: Mondeo man has last laugh as value of 20-year-old cars soars Auto Trader said the Noughties revival challenges the common misconception that a car can only ever lose value once it is driven out of the showroom Ford Mondeos were seen as the car of choice for boring people but a trend for nostalgia has prompted a rise in demand Mondeo man used to be mocked as boring and uninspired. A middle-of-the-road “Mr Average” who probably voted Tory but did not mind Tony Blair and almost certainly owned a labrador. However, anyone who has remained loyal and true to Ford’s mid-Noughties family saloon is now having the last laugh because it is rocketing in value. Along with other unexceptional cars of this era, such as the Vauxhall Astra and Renault Megane, Mondeos are undergoing a revival in demand amid a growing trend for nostalgia among drivers. Research published by Auto Trader shows that the average value of a 2004 Ford Mondeo has increased nearly 50 per cent since before the pandemic. In 2019, the average Mondeo listed on the car-selling website sold for only £1,544 whereas this year they fetched an average of £2,298. Other mid-Noughties classics have had even greater price increases.

Different to the four cylinder engines then where the liners always stood proud of the block in order to ensure head gasket sealing.

I must admit I just can't visualise that???

Enjoy

Anyone know which year did Lotus stop using 6 volt coils? Silly not to as they're so cheap.

There wasn't a factory immobiliser on my UK car, I had to have one fitted before they'd insure it.

Beautiful looking car, I used to own number 4 of 40 in pearl white just like it here in the UK. To add to Filip's suggestions to look at is does it have an immobiliser that's acting up? Definitely sounds like an ignition problem though. Good luck & welcome to the world of Lotus motoring.
