Don and Norma's remarkably original Sable V8-250 has always belonged to their family and still has under 50,000 miles on the clock. Kathy dubbed it 'the chocolate drop.'
Jack and Phyllis' Gunmetal Grey 2.5 Litre, with a grey interior. Complete with two fuel pumps - more on that later ...
Michael and Pat's glossy black V8-250 with red interior and wire wheels. With a stainless steel exhaust and rebuilt engine (twice!) it sounds as good as it goes (except when not ... see below ...)Next to it, Ian and Joyce's SP250, in British Racing Green with tan interior.
