Yeah - sold it two weeks ago (God now its just hit me ) and you can see the rear end of it sticking out in the escort pic (the one on the right) pic taken before it was sold obviously.

Still, hard as it is to swallow I have to accept that I have to stop increasing my fleet as its bad for the cars and for me as its quite a strain keeping so many cars not to mention expensive.

I suppose people would prefer a car that's five years older, for obvious reasons -- there won't be a huge number of MKII's in that category though, since it only hit classic status this year.

I was always more endeared to the MKI meself, so I'd only go for a MKII if it was perfect, and officially a classic. You qualified on one but not the other, thanks anyway.

There's a couple people on Carzone have marked their MKII's as 1975 just to get into classic search results. Twats.

I has almost completed a thesis on data protection, 2 things to note:

1) The number of people who can access the national driver and vehicle file is huge (councils, motor trade, etc etc...)
2) Data protection law is well and good, but really not much practical use if someone has access to the files and choose to abuse that access. Chances are you will never know one way or the other.

No more database discussion - I'll delete/edit the posts that do.

Start a new thread if you're all that concerned.

After you've owned something for 5-6 years, it loses appeal

Not sure if your asking me, but its the same as all other classics really. It drinks fuel, but its not the kind of car you'd use every day. Cheap tax, classic insurance etc

Perhaps. But if the beauty is more than skin deep the appeal can last a lifetime. I see your Mustang as a beatiful car, although I suspect a large part of it is the powerful imagery it brings of late 60s americana - full of idealism and optimism.

Is it a dull car to drive? Has it some glaring flaw that gnaws away at you the longer you own it? Very disappointing if it does, I must say.

[Ivan E]

Yes I was gs39t. It looks the part, and I have always liked those cars. Wouldn't mind going down that route myself at some stage, its just a bit too expensive for me at the moment.

But I can see why you would become bored with it. Not that particular car but any, if you have that strong an interest in cars, its always hard to stay settled with one.

I don't just drive mine I got it in bad order and keep improving on it more often than I drive it which stops me from getting bored with it, then listen to her ROAR. Will never be finished.

Some token eye candy to brighten this page.
It's my car alright, but, sadly, only when I dream - a 300bhp Alfa concept that never made it to production






Those Mustangs (esp. the blue one) are stunning.
