Poor thing.:sad:

I am in Spain right now so I can drive this back for some lucky* owner. Particularly as my family are doing my head in and a 20-hour drive home in this seems positively luxurious from where I am. 

 

Also, I might get to find out why it's been fitted with a draught excluder.

That is why Hamilton went faster in the Spanish GP last weekend. Those tassels really work.

BTW the car is up North in Basque country so not that far from the ferry ports to the UK.

Wouldn't have looked twice at one of these back in the day, but they're getting quite appealing now. It's a design the Chinese seem to have copied countless times in some ways, too, imho.

I don't think I'd every understand the prices of old cars when a  rough farty old mk2 Escort costs most than this.

Did everyone's dad own one ? Did they win some rallies ?  Did you fuck your first girlfriend in the back seat of one? Take all your mates camping in Cornwall, and drive back with no brakes ? Did you learn to donut in the school field in one? Did your mate roll one into a field, and get it back on the road within a week ? 

Or did the bastard landlord of the pub have one to take his growling dog to the park.? Which he bought 7th hand. The first owner being a factory owner from Wigan and the other 5 being unable to afford an oil change?

Again that’s not what I mean .  The Fords prices are driven by nostalgia but they’re basic cars . These big jags are   amazing machines and as much as I like old fords the run of the mill stuff is not.  Too me they’re massively under  valued for what they are .

That's not a great example of an S-type (wires AND whitewalls???!) but yeah, they still do seem like a real bargain especially considering how strong Mk2 prices have remained. And when everyone says the S-type is a much better car it seems like a no-brainer really. I should probably do the ropey old 60s Jag thing before the petrol runs out.
