Magnificent Rustbucket Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 The Australian Ford LTD was officially sold in the UK at certain Ford dealerships in the early 1980s - Quicks in Manchester was one. They had a very high spec indeed and a 5.7 litre V8. They were nice cars. I wonder if there are any left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 How Many Left lists 12 LTDs in the country.There were apparently 16 in 1996 so that's not too bad going. Magnificent Rustbucket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Rustbucket Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 That must be a decent survival rate - they were always rare cars. I like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad D. Conelrad Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 What kind of fucking moron thinks it's a good idea to install a fucking ninety fucking decibel siren in a car which goes off out of nowhere while you're driving through a major junction. A fucking moron who probably thinks they should use the nuclear attack sirens to warn you of light drizzle.FUCK this thing to fuck scruff, Junkman and danthecapriman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the dark satanic mills of the early industrial era, the north's premier* airport and the emissions from Stuart Maconie's mouth have thus far failed to improve Manchester's climate, I fear you may be on a hiding to nothing with a couple of V8s.
