Mercury Grey 2.8i Special, I had one in this colour for about 4 years in the early to mid 90's.

It's currently for sale but is pretty expensive being very low mileage

£29,995 the link to the Ad is in my post. 

Dug out a few pics of my old one, D808RDV.  I remember going out for a day out in Paignton many years ago and by random coincidence ended up parked next to a mark 2 XR2 in the same colour with the reg no D807RDV. Interesting on checking the DVLA's system that the Capri was recorded as Grey but the Fiesta as Silver.

I bought this car in 1992 or 3 with about 30k on the clock. Sold about 4 years later with around 60k for not a lot less than I paid for it. Loved this car, standard but for the electric windows and walnut dash trim I fitted. The Door cards and dash had already been butchered for non standard audio by the time I bought it. I saw it up for sale 10 years or so ago (still with the same owner I sold it to) but it was on 120k plus by then and was in need of a full  restoration. I considered buying it back (briefly). It's currently showing as MOT expired in 2013 so not sure whether it survives or not.

I have heard it said that fitting rally arches on a road car is a grey area and never understood what they meant till I saw this. Look at those rears. Massive!

Is that little square in the window specifically for McDonald’s drive through???

Oh is that what that's for? I thought it was to flip the bird at the cops and Impreza owners without having to wind down the window.

I keep getting this strange feeling at the back of my mind that this Fezza wasn't always grey? Call me clairvoyant but it strikes me more of a white car to me? No particular reason.

Nah, I love the Escort, Buuuuut, I would rather it be one colour anthracite, not silver, lose the pretentious roll hoop and drop it a bit, it's not a bloody Pajero! Other than that you have a grey car I would build if I won the lottery, and wanted a grey car.

The car I lusted after before I knew was lust is, was the one in the Mexico ad. I don't think I could carry off the sartorial elegance that is obviously required to own one though!
