    Having owned & run American cars myself , I know how complicated things can get with years & options.
    The pics are all 73 Mustangs ( according to Google ) but no 2 look exactly the same , & of course there was a range of engine options.And imports can be even more complicated.

    Going back years but from memory I have had 60 Chev Impala , 64 Chev Impala , 65 Fairlane 500, Rambler 880 Wagon .
    In recent years I have been running 56 Dodge Caliber, 08 Jeep Patriot & am currently running 58 Dodge Avenger SXT 2.4 VVTi 4 speed Auto with Autostick. According to the site , I am only one of 90 of this particular model. Dodge pulled out of UK about 18 months ago .

    Nowhere on this site does it mention year of manufacture ..

    It states that 1281 Mustangs have been Taxed in UK so far in 2011 , plus 6 on Sorn.

    the 3 GLX hatches could be any year from brand new 2011 to wayback in the late 60’s .

    I think they can only go by what discription of the vehicle is on the Original registration document,

    There may be more 73’s out there but described as something else on their Reg.Doc.

    ie: there are 411 down just a Mustang Automatic……..some of these could be any year from 1964—2011

    I’ve had 5 Skodas ( Pre & Post VW ) Wife still has a 52 Fabia 1.4 estate. The pre vw were crappy fun , bought as hobby cars . My 05 Tdi Eleganze Superb was built well up to Audi standards only the quality of materials was not up there with the best. I also owned a very early Audi 100 nice car a bit of a cross between an old Auto Union & a Merc.

    I’m glad to see someone mentioned & posted up a pic of the Canadian Avro Arrow . I believe pressure from the USA brought about its demise . They needed Can. to buy US products & to protect their own aircraft industries . They didnt want competition too close to home !!

    Like the TSR 2 , it could have been a world beater!!

    Just heard on Local TV news that a 5 turbine wind farm ,to be operated by Scottish Power, has just been refused planning permission by the local council. It was to me set up in the Evesham area of Worcestershire.

    The UK has some of the highest & best tide flows in the world , so more research into this option would be welcomed. It will be less polluting to the eye as wind turbines. I also believe there is a future for Hydrogen Cell power!!
