For pure fun it was my old Mk2 1.6 SWB with sliding drivers door. :D

For speed it was my Maestro Van, originaly a 1.3, stripped that out and dropped a Montego 2.0 EFI into it 8)

But best all rounder has been the Mk3 I have now, cant see any reason to get rid of her :D :D

Probably best for my purposes was the old company van I used to drive, a 'Y' reg Fiesta Courier. It had the 1.8 TD engine.
Was easily fast enough both for acceleration and top end speed. I couls fit my bike in the back without taking the wheels off and it gave 57mpg! :shock:

Superb piece of kit.

a toss up between a maestro van with a montego 2.0 turbo diesel in it (bloody quick and still economical) or my mk3 transit ambulance 2.9 efi

The WORST I had was a Bedford Midi. 2.0 Isuzu diesel. no performance, no handling, no comfort. incredibly noisy and difficult to get started.
