Had to pop out this morning to drop a prescription in, on the way home passed an immaculate Ford V8 Pilot , haven't seen on for years , two a penny when I was a kid.

I don't remember these at all but then I'm barely out of my teens.

First 'big' car I can really remember as a kid was the MK3 Zephyr 4......Zephyr 6.........and Zodiac.

My cousin had one in the 50's, 3 speed gearbox, handbook said 'Anything over walking pace use 3rd gear'.

Put any of those next to an astra now and they'd look small.

This V8 Pilot with a Scorpio V6 engine in it used to be knocking about around my way .... a local autospark did the wiring. It featured in a couple of motoring mags at the time.
A nice looking car & a real wolf in sheep's clothing!

Remember the first time I ever saw one , they must have had the biggest headlights of any car at the time, they were huge.

Used to expect to see Al Capone hanging out of them. I was born in 44 and a rich bloke in the village had a black one when i was growing up. Memories.
