Passed a really superb Cresta on the way back from Mums this afternoon. Didn't get the reg but was in great nick and was a two tone grey. Not sure if that is an original colour.  :-\

I had the PB 3.3 litre Velox Hydramatic, bought it in 1972 from its first owner for £130.00 ! I was 18 & it cost me £160 to insure it traded it in when I bought the Escort Mexico think they allowed me £100 for it.

in order to use gears ,you need to get past the high security locks (anything that will fit in the key hole should do) and have a running engine  ;D

But you were lucky to own the far more exclusive Ital, Kevin........which was equally as good as a Lamborghini Espada but without the fancy price tag. ::) ::) ::) ::) :)
