he has had many offers over the years to sell and turned them all down, he also owns some other very nice rare fords too so any offer would need extreme top money to make him even bat a eyelid

Hi, I've got loads of paperwork, including Clarksons business card and his signature on the Ford Press Garage release papers when took possession of it.
Cheers, Mark.

Ha ha thought so, I used to have k704 LMV (k18 JAE) or smokegreyturbo on ctor
I think it's still on the style selector under grey ones on the ctor home page.
I remember your car well
