Yep. Really happy with mine. It's running as well as it ever has especially now the Autobox has been renewed. The body is about perfect including underneath, I do regular maintenance and give the underneath a scrape and a light brush over with a heavy black paint. Course over the years I've spent plenty of money on anything it has needed, but I would need to make a huge financial step-up to get anything comparable, and can't justify that for a second 'hobby-car'. I've still got 'Aunty' and I can't bear to scrap it! I'm the same with my Bikes, a couple of old Bikes and one good modern Bike, but I only did 1800 miles on my main Bike last year.

craig was at a B&Q at the time then spend 6 hours cutting and recrimping the loom with twin & earth cable to get him home. barley running but it got him home but the damage was done. he sold it to a chap who then added 500 quid to the price and sat it on his forcort with a sign on it saying 'owned by the chairman of the ford scorpio club' lol
needless to say he never shifted it ( he did nothing with the faults) and scrapped it
