Believe it or not but my scrap man came round last week and we got talking about classic cars. He has been offered a Facel Vega but can't get the cash together. He has done his research but at 75k it is a bit out of his league. It is supposed to be mint though. Bamboocarman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Looks like the novelty has worn off for whoever bought this not that long ago. How much was this up for the last time? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/381201889081 As nicely done as it is I'd be tempted to take it back to the bright yellow that it used to be.

Cavcraft Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 The money shot... 2.5 diesel! Lord knows what the engine is out of, doesn't look like the best choice (2.5Di) or the second choice (4 headed GM thing) but like the man in the built up shoes, I stand to be corrected. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1989-FORD-THUNDERBIRD-WITH-DIESEL-ENGINE-LHD-/161662300919?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item25a3d2f2f7 £210 with an hour and a half to go. danthecapriman and Bamboocarman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting outside on the drive of an East Anglian bungalow it looks like old Jags used to look, with a crap 1972 respray and years of gentle decay and knocks and scrapes from old boy ownership.
