Name That Ford

[Rich T]

Just wondering if anyone has had a stab at naming the model of your car and got it totally wrong?

Ive only had the car about 4 months.

 

First off was my boss who is old enough to know better.

Is it a Triumph!?!?!?! 

 

Second, his son who in his defence is ony about 22.  Nice Cavalier 

 

Number 3.  A commercial tyre fitter who works for the same company as me.  Mid 30s??  How are you getting on with the resto on your Fiesta? ( He was stood next to the car when he sead it lol).

 

What you got?

I find that ladies of a certain vintage around here all know what a Mk1/Mk2 Escort is, possibly because over 50% of the local kids in the 70s and 80s were conceived in the back of one.

That could be a whole new thread in itself?

Not so much a single thread, more a whole paternity suit..............

 

Something which might be fun at the fitting, but the bill is extortionate

My colleque at work owns a 1969 Opel Kadett coupe, and we often park next to each other at the parking lot or at local shows. Lost count of the times people  said, look 2 old Opel's parked next to each other. hmmmm . . . .

The best I've had, was a guy in motorbike leather clothes saying, That's the first time I've seen a Vauxhall Viva with a Ford engine in it . . .

My other car is a Morris Minor and a couple of people (wife included) have referred to it as a Beetle. It's quite low and has a 4" roof chop and one genius I overheard said it has been widened. (It hasn't.)
