Collection has been featured in at least one of the Ford mags hasn't it?

Think the cars are all used for various events/TV and all sorts of things.

I'm quite sure it was mentioned that some of them are the press cars

Whoever runs / looks after that collection should be ashamed. Fookin state of most of them, and was going through their mind when they decided to put dust sheets on top of the already dusty and muddy cars

Sad to see some great cars wasted in storage in that kind of condition
