Bless u, wondered which one it was
Oh yes please , ref the jenson pics if u can dig some out plse , very jealous
Wasn’t it something like an American engine, designed by Italians and built by the brits , never forget the sound of that engine , won’t be getting that from the new electric cars
But I bet there will be a demand for engine sound software as an option

Yeah designed by Vignale and then the brummie boys shoehorned a big block Chrysler V8 into it. Great looking car with the clamshell rear window, but iirc about 16 mpg if you were gentle and 6 mpg if you were in fun mode yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Have u also seen where they cut into the exhaust and then a shutter system opens / closes controlled by a dashboard switch to make it even louder
Funny enough the only mustang I’ve like is the very early ones, but then heard there suppose to be terrible to drive

U saying about mpg never forget my brother had a lotus Carlton , could watch the fuel gauge go down but knowhere near as much style as a jenson
Ah yes the famous rear screen , I imagine there eyewatering to replace
Indeed , all about fun , plus another car I remembered was the old rover coupe, another v8 I think
Still liked my old triumphs I had, vitesse 2 x litre , Dolomites 1850 etc etc

Interesting indeed and rare too. A fabulous Borgward Isabella, and the once ubiquitous but very practical Peugeot 404 pickup. Both now rare in such fine order.
The Peugeot 404 "bakkie"!!
As we say back home, "designed by the French, used by Africa!!"
This RHD drive model was only available in Southern Africa.
This version and the sedan version, I have very fond memories off!!2008 D3 HSE Stornoway Grey (UK)
2008 D3 HSE Izmir Blue- South African Spec. (Zimbabwe)
2005 FFRR SC V8- Java Black
1995 D1 300 Tdi Blue - (Sourced from the UK, shipped to Namibia, driven by me to RD Congo, then Zambia, now retired in Zimbabwe)
