MK3 Cav was my first car and it was great. Bought it cheap with mega miles, added mega miles, sold it to a mate who added more, and eventually it was scrapped.....because of the alarm going wonky :lol:
Looked a bit like this......without the stripes and lights

Then bought this:

Also had this along the way:

Sell? I told myself I never would, but realistically I had it 18 months and it went up in value by 50% (after a little TLC here and there on my part) So, I was getting married and buying our first home, and I had a car in the garage worth a substantial amount..... :(
I sold at peak, so I don't regret it. I'd have another as they are a great sense of theatre every time you go out, but I'm starting to feel the same way about my lude TBH and there are a LOT of cars you could buy for the Stangs money. Like a nice Jag XK for example... :scaredtoss:
