Why didnt he rent it to them
and then get them to put it back to same order it was before they had it |
A mate has worked on several (producer); he did the Bentley rally one and TWO were used. Both were scrapped afterwards.
It's some weird rule they have. |
Anyone notice the Esprit's wheels were changed from the V8's original 5-spoke ones to the vanilla model's type. Just before the ferry crossing section.
Wonder why? |
I guess the originals got buckled and they had to fit a spare set...?

It's a car, why should the Mustang forums be bothered as I bet their own users have trashed more this year :)

It wasn't an option that he was given. Anyway, I think it's comon knowledge that the cars are generally quite fubar'd once they've finished with them so he didn't want it back. Apparently the Mustang forums are not too happy about him selling the car to them.
there can be only so many Mach 1's around How much did he get for it |
I'm not sure how much they paid him. When I speak to him I'll ask.

Finaly got roudnd to seeing it last night.
Wow what a bunch of thugs? What a great advert for the people if argentina. i bet 99% of the thuggish mob wern't even born at the time of the war. |
I take it from JC's commentary of events that the 3 amigos were not part of the convoy that was attacked and were it safe and sound elsewhere?

A fact which appears to be dependant on whose version if event you chose to believe and true ti firm you've chosen to believe the other side. ;)

The rest of the world inc Africa, cant believe we should lay claim to Falklands STILL
|
In times of war which the Falklands conflict was. All legitimate targets are fair game. Which is why the Argentina saw fit to launch exocet missiles at ships in Falkland sound.

I do find it a bit strange that they would scrap them afterwards. In fact I am sure I have seen a picture on the net somewhere of the Bentley being cleaned after being ragged around the stage, not sure they would bother if scrapping it. |

They tend to be development mules which from memory, have to be scrapped by law. Hence why Top Gear end up with some of them, nice bit of free advertising for the manufacturers and saves them having to scrap the cars themselves.

I can sort of see their point
there can be only so many Mach 1's around How much did he get for it Yes it was the last of the non-emissions control cars, but it was also hideously ugly and massively overweight thanks to all the unnecessary additional steel used to make it look less tiny next to a Charger :rolleyes: |

Correct. No mention of a second car though.
http://www.carsuk.net/what-happened-...took-rallying/ Interesting that the article was written in 31st Jan 2013. But the tax ran out July 2014. Why would it still be taxed 18months after it was said to be scrapped? :wonder: |
