    Re: Tawnys mk1 mexico

    I can see why you are miffed about not hanging on to your mexico as its a very good example & looks a similar spec to mine , contour seats, wood pack & radio all with the optional metallic tawny brown paint. I have been told only 60 mk1 mexicos were made in tawny brown. cheers tawny

    Ha ha not much chance of selling the mexico Tim , I went out in it ragging around Derbyshire lanes on Monday afternoon & theres too much fun to be had yet , it still keeps me on my toes. Anyway I bought another big arch mk1 then sold that then bought another mint shell that's getting the treatment for a track / fast road beast which is well under way now .

    Not sure which one I like best: Anglebox or Escort? I'm sure my dad would prefer the Anglebox, but they're both great.

    Definitely don't sell it!

    Yes its a genuine AVO Mexico so quite rare now & with all the extra work done its not worth selling as where do you find another , that's why I am building a std escort shell to track day & generally get some abuse without wrecking a rare car.
