sold a car older than me at work today!
it was a 1981 fiesta 1.1 L in typical 80's brown with browny orange seats (mmm nice) and with no headrests (crash protection didn't exist then i guess) it was so clean! not a mark on it i swear it could have left a ford show room today and be sold as new! it only had a genuine 42,000 on the clock and all the MOT's confirm this going way way back too!
we sold it for more than a R reg fiesta 1.25 haha which did make me smile. total of 300 odd quid! i was tempted to buy it and stick the thing in my garage for another 20 odd years!
still never mind i keep telling myself it'll be great for a week or 2 till i got over it's amazing condition and saw what it really is. a s**te old ford :)
