I know nothing about cars. I would have said, "that's a pretty <insert color of car here> car.
My car has been insulted!

To me they all just look like something off the set of Starsky and Hutch... 
And as such... if they're circa that era and that old they'd be a bitch to keep road worthy to pass the MOT over here.. and extremely costly to insure.

A fully restored 60's era 'muscle car' can sell for over
one hundred thousand dollars!
Hey CB you are right about one thing, those cars wouldn't
work to well as daily drivers in your widdle island nation.
They spew pollution and drink petrol like there is no tomorrow.
Most guys that own these things have them as toys.
They drive something a little less outrageous to work everyday Oh I dunno like giant forty thousand dollar gas hog SUV's?
Tell you whut there is nothing like mashing your right foot down and feeling four hundred-foot pounds of torque at your command!
One of my vehicles is a 5 liter 92 Mustang and it is lots oh fun to let her rip that is until it's time to pull up to the gas pump

A mid-life crisis with wheels... but by and far...less expensive than 'the other woman' option that comes with the mid-life crisis.
When I hit my middle years..I want a Black 'cuda with a blower
**Model shown without the blower - some assembly required **
432ci V8 with 655 ft/lb of torque without the Blower

Gone forever with any luck.
I do so love me a good 'Mer'can muscle car.
When I still had my 1967 Cougar, fools kept calling it a Mustang. I smote them regularly. My old stomping grounds in those days had more 1965 - 1970 Mustangs per capita than any city in America. That's probably why so many confused my glorious Cougar with its wanna be cousin, the Mustang. God I miss that car...
