Parked nonchalently in a retail park local to us. Interior was equally immaculate. 1989/F Mk4 Escort RS turbo Its driver was a young chap. Kudos to him.

Now that is a set of wheels; my ideal car in 1989. From memory they were about £12k new back then (£50k in today’s cash). Worth not far off that now in mint condition.

A Mk3 RS Turbo - white, with blue decals - is not too far from us; I've yet to photo' it, as it passed me each time whilst I was driving.

Found a very similar one to the black 1989 version for sale for £40k.

Hmmm, that second bottle probably will be past its peak if left beyond this evening. ;)

That's very tidy. It's good to see younger folk having an interest in these cars.

The sporty Escorts were never really on my wanted list. I had a Fiesta 1.1L and would have liked an XR2, but my preference would have been an XR4i.

A slightly weathered Mustang parked in the main piazza in Stia, Tuscany, at lunchtime today. I'm not sure how old it was....the Italian ZB registration indicates a vehicle that has been imported from abroad.IMG_20261004_131410.jpgIMG_20261004_131326.jpg

My Uncle had one, I had not seen him for years and rocked up to a funeral in one. So my brother & I greeted him outside and it was all car talk, nothing about his deceased!
