Who's driving that, Jack Regan?
I used to love that car as well MM - 3 litre luxury.
Also many moons ago I used to own a TR6 and I would have loved a Stag - it's engine has the most wonderful "burble".

I once had a Reliant Scimitar SE6 - 3ltr V6 with overdive on 3rd and 4th.

I got it for £400 from a couple of scallies on Selby Rd with 12 months MOT. On its next test the rear suspension collapsed getting it on the rolling road and the garage condemned it. I sold it for £650 as spares or repair.

The boys went down theauctions to sell the cars.......and didn't they do well!!!

Having paid about £60k they wanted £117k, they got......... £156k

I have bought quite a few cars from the auctions because they are cheaper, so long as you know a bit about cars, but this one was something special - Classics only.

Not a bad profit for a bit of hard work.

S*d the cars - I'm drooling at Philip Glenister.

I loved the Ford Mexico, because it was orange

[Workingman]

Ooh, a split screen Mk VII in what must be the best colour ever.

Thanks for that Lissie.

I couldn't make my mind up between the Stag and the Mini. It's a shame the TC was in washed out blue, had it been white or BRG they might have made £160k on the lot.

I hope they do another series.

A teacher at school used to have a Mk1 Escort Mexico. It was white with a thick red stripe down the middle - we used to call it the Flying Jam Sandwich.
