Hi Glenn,It was 4 years old but in reality only 2 years old as it was not sold to the first owner for 2 years after it was made in late July 1990 . It was one of the last 2wd ones to be made before production of 4x4s started.
It has been used all the time weather permitting , I have done about 60,000 miles in it . I must get some recent photos up as it still looks mint with its original paint. A lot have been resprayed now but I like the fact its still original diamond white.

I crossed the 10 year mark back in November. Can't believe how quickly that decade has passed.

Even with the prices of today ive no plans of ever selling..

Thanks Glenn, the only change I am making is putting amber front indicators back on as the clear ones were only for your 4x4s. Years back I swapped them over as clear indicators were all the rage. I managed to get 2 brand new old stock amber Ford ones from Germany.
