badge enginered mustang

True in some ways yes, 3 inches longer than a Stang and more luxurious too. Mercury was Ford's sister company and i think i'm right in saying that the Cougar won car of the year in the States back in '67? Alot rarer over here than a Ford too

 

[maddog]

Its a Mustang colour - Grabber Blue.

 

[uber cool]

Nice ride, lovely colour :mrgreen:

MADDOG that's a seriously cool ride. Matchbox did one in a light metallic green when I was a kid and it was always my favourite toy car.

Look after it cos it's sooo nice.
