This is my latest car, it,s a 1972 Lincoln Continental 4 door sedan, 460 ci ( 7.6 ) v8, good overall condition, although does need some work under the vinyl roof, but will sort that in the winter, meanwhile the mot is Wed 6th June and is taxed till Feb 2013 ( tax exempt ) interior good, engine good ( 55,000 ) miles, so thats the story so far, fingers crossed for the mot................      |

That is all sorts of awesome - have you figured out how many bodies you can fit in the trunk yet?  |

Lovely, I nearly owned the Mercury Marquis which shares a lot with this model, should have bought it but let the butterscotch paint colour put me off...
Plans?

Given the huge number of those in the UK... wouldn't have been from around the Scottish Borders, Galashiels/Tweedbank area, would it? A butterscotch Marquis used to be driven around there a lot. |

Happy Happy Happy, it passed the Mot today only needing one brake light bulb, drives fine etc etc, so it's now on the road and ready to rock n roll ( as they say ) ;D ;D oh and estimate you could get 3 bodies in the boot, it's rather large.

I suspect that it will be the same car, as you say, not common... It was down south I think when I was interested in it. Or Manchester. I forget

I guess even 12 is a good figure for an engine that big. Whats the output of this beast? I bet its got a squillion torks (as jezza would say)
