Hi, I owned the car in the early 90s, I nearly bought it back from the guy you did, cool to see it again 😊

Hello LolHare That's amazing to hear from someone that previously owned my car. Do you have any pictures you can post? I will be up your way at some point this year at a local car show, you might like to come and reminisce! I would certainly like to hear some stories about it. I have a few questions i'd like answering as well.

there are 2 variants of that type shape bottle, the one you have and the one more popular is with the filler hole in the middle, i cant remember the part no off my head but its embossed in the front however, someone already makes a repro of the one with the centre filler hole, and it usually retails around £55, but it has the repro company logo and not the ford part no on the front now if you could copy that bottle, complete with the ford number, at a reasonable price, rather than a repro name or nothing at all, ie it looks like a genuine one, then i think you would have a market, genuine ford NOS usually fetch anything between £200 to £250 a pop, theres probably a market for the one in your picture, but it would be a lot smaller, i have seen very good used ones go over £200, the original bottles suffer with going off colour, but they also split on their mount slides, small splits can be repaired, but wide ones deem the bottle scrap

Would have thought if you can re produce as per Ford original there would be a market for them. Restorers want an original and white but if you can achieve that spot on then I would say it’s a goer. I’ve just paid £60 for a mk2 bottle of fairly good condition, have seen mint ones go in excess of £100.
