Who remembers/owned a Ford Mexico (back in the day) ?

I was going to add, the back bumper has ripped off, but you can get replacement 3D printed ones off ebay. My Christmas Break project is going to be refurbing some of the old cars. I have two old JPS cars - motors are shot and will need replacing, but you can get replacement logos for them too. Probably time to learn soldering !

I found out when I set up mine again for my kids about 15-20 years ago, you also need new tires as old hard one don't grip!

Now the kids have all moved out I should set it up again.

Yes, that's on the list - plenty of places to get them these days.

I had a 2.5 manual Ghia X estate in a pinky red.

it was my first car after many years of having a company car. My last company car had been a 2.0 Ghia Granada, incredibly sluggish but comfortable.

I was 'given' a 2.0 ltr Granada as a company vehicle once. Twice a week my journey was Warrington to Wakefied......it was painfully poor on the rolling hills.
Fortunately they soon changed it for a 2.3 which made a massive difference.

At several classic car shows this year I was alarmed to see that many classics were sporting tyres with early 90s date codes!
