Is the NC really the barge of the family?

Pfft, if it's a pissing contest you want, ya'll got nothing...

3/4 tank of fuel, spare wheel, factory trim, no driver.

Correct (apart from the ND).

I had a mighty boy years ago, same colour too. Wasn't bright enough, so I painted it Ford GT Yellow Glow. The rear is light, I could lift it until the front bumper hit the ground. They lift an inside rear wheel around any corner. Btw, that would have to be the quickest paint job I ever did. Scuffed it back, dried it, pushed it into my brothers garage, masked it and pulled off anything easy to remove. Paint, unmask, screw bits back on. And drive off. I think it was under 2hrs drive in, drive out.
Mine was a mighty 3 cylinder with 2 speed auto. Slow, and slower.
I think it was the first car I learnt to corner fast. There was no choice if you wanted to keep up with mates in V8 cars.

At the risk of going further off topic, it's wonderful. And by that I mean it's objectively terrible, but it's good fun. Now rocking a big block (1L 3cly from a Swift) and 5 speed, and actually keeps up with traffic now.
