Iirc it was the Tempera, we had a 1.9 TD estate and christ, it could easily wheelspin in second gear (not sure i should admit it
)It seemed all those 1.9 turbo diesels on Fiats, Citroën etc in the 90s went like absolute stink

They came on boost rather suddenly, so nothing, nothing, nothing, woahhh was the form (at least it made you feel like you were driving something fast!) Used to love driving my 405 bitd.

Definitely the Fiat Tempra.

Fiat Tempura, shirley, in recognition of the thickness of its metalwork
(We had a Gen-1 Uno which was even thinner, I swear!)

Looks like it needs a bit of fettling but hard to tell from the distance

Saw a V reg Sherpa van on a driveway this morning during then dog walk, but didnt have my phone with me. It looked fairly solid. I'll try and get a pic next time.

I drove around Cyprus and Lebanon in a Sherpa van quite a few years ago

I quite liked them in the dibble. Rough and ready, but superbly suited for hard work.
Have a look at https://www.aronline.co.uk/vans/leyland-sherpa/cv306-development-story/ , the development story of the Sherpa is really interesting. A real parts-bin special, but very cleverly done considering the very limited resources at their disposal at the time.

That’s there to catch the rust
