Some years ago I bought a one registered owner, 1700 (seventeen hundred) mile, '72 Ford Consul V4 (Granada Mk.1 shape) which had been part of a collection of low-mileage cars. It looked fantastic, and had a genuine 'time warp' interior which even smelled new inside! Problem was that because of...
Ah thanks, guys. This is exactly what I was looking for! The P6 buyer's guide is especially useful and many thanks for all that info, Pilkie.
I really have no preference between a later TC and a V8, but I confess I do prefer round dials to the strip speedo on the SC. I shall be looking upon...

This 3500S had just 1 recorded keeper and had covered only 43,000 miles when I bought it from a local motor dealer / collector in late 1991 - which makes it all the more curious that it had disappeared off the DVLA...
Hi Folks,
My name is John and I'm new on here today.
I have been trying to trace an almond 3500S which I owned over 20 years ago, RUE570M.
