eSpace Original Specification (1994)

5Dr MPV 2.1 dT RN Helios 5-Seat

Price £18,458
Engine 2,068 cc
Power 88 bhp
0-60mph 15 seconds
Insurance Group 14
Fuel Economy (urban) 32 mpg
Fuel Economy (extra urban) 36 mpg
Fuel Economy (combined) 34 mpg
Fuel Diesel

So based on our £1 purchase it's depreciated at £1,318 a year since it was first registered in 1994. I'm assuming the 0-60 and fuel economy may also have suffered ;)

Engine technology appears to have come on somewhat in the last 14 years, despite having an engine 3x the size of my Smart Roadster (698cc), it develops only 7 more bhp and does 15mpg less... Of course being a diesel it can run on vegetable oil (if we ever get it started!)

Good stuff, Vegetable oil is less than a pound a litre at ASDA. Better not let Mr. darling know you're using it or he'll start taxing the stuff!
