Barchetta Ginestra's B

Now I know what I'm doing, here are some more...

Well done Will. Brilliant photos. Look forward to seeing and reading more about you car.

Looks great - didn't know you get those wheels on the face lifted mode.

Thanks for your comments. You're right, Patches, the Mk II didn't come with these wheels, but they're my favourite so I bought them and had them fitted. I much prefer them to the multispokes.

I think I will take Steve's advice and start a thread about my B - I enjoy reading other peoples'.

Love broom yellow (mine is shine grey) and prefer the facelift to the original so will follow your thread with interest. Hoping to make a number of mods this year to make mine just what I want. If the plan works, will start my own thread.

Nice B!

I do like a B in yellow. One of my previous MK2 Escort's was in yellow,
and I loved that. he was nicked named Mellow Yellow

forgive my B ignorance but..

Whats the differences between a mkI and mkII B?

ps> lovely car as well, not keen on yellow myself but they are great little cars, wouldn't be suprised if i end up owning one at some point

Hi blu73,

There are a few minor differences between Mk I and II, but the obvious thing is how the bumpers look. Compare mine to the one here.

I see you have a nice Punto GT. I used to have one of those - yellow of course
I loved it! I often wonder if it is still going...

Here it is too...

Thanks, I love my GT, she's quite special, so rare to see an original one now, i'm currently returning it to completely as it came from fiat

you can check if it still has a current MOT, its not the be all end all but if it has a current MOT then you can be mostly sure it is still on the road.

Just stick the registration and manufacturer in here

edit: quite like the facelift B, don't think i seen one b4 in the flesh, makes it look a little less boat hull like at the front (no offence to early B owners, they are still very pretty)

Thanks for the link - looks like the GT is still around
I've wasted the whole evening looking up every car I could think of - most of them no longer with us sadly - had fun doing it though.

lol, i think about half of my old cars still live, did exactly the same thing when i found it.

Not many GT's left in UK anymore though, only 563 including ones that are SORN
