Sure thats not an ST24 rather than a V6 Ghia??? Also, whereabouts, if its local to you then its local to me😉

I used to have a Mondeo Si Ghia, which was a lovely thing with a full body-kit, alloys and wood-inlay interior.  From memory, it was possible to 'upgrade' the sporty variants (Si and 24 valve) to sporty+Ghia spec - effectively getting both improvement packages fitted to the same car.  That's what I was told about mine, anyway; it had all come special order.

I've had an Si V6 non-Ghia, too, which was basically the same car as the Si Ghia, but fitted with a V6 engine and bucket seats.  The interior wasn't as nice though, somewhat gloomy and lacking the variety of fabrics one found in the Ghia cars.

There is a house near me that is well known locally for having 10-15 older cars from the 60/70s in the back garden, this Cadillac is out front with a Mini, Porsche, MGB and various other piles of crap!

 

 

I'm still surprised how many people have Cadillacs just rotting away in their yards. The banger racers will still have a steady supply for years it seems.

I'm intrigued by this guy and his many MGFs. When I last went past the current count was nine (there's more not visible down the side road). 2023 shot:

 

 

Was next door the overflow car park ?

Nah, they've just decided to get back at next door by having an MGF that actually works!

I'm fairly shocked my driveway hasn't appeared on this thread yet tbh.

I had to do a double-take when I saw the Astra collection on here - I've been visiting Banbury a lot recently to prepare for my driving test, and that house is just down the road from the test centre. The Sherpa/Freight Rover on the driveway is still there, as well as a few other vehicles (must have a rummage on Steet View), but there isn't a trace of Astra now. Clearly old habits do die hard - but it does seem odd he got rid of the Astras after all that time, but kept the Sherpa. Still, maybe there's one stashed away in the garage?
