No idea. It wasn't this particular one,
just the model and colour.

One of my parents friends had
the Scimitar GTE, which was the first car I ever drove - it was an auto, he used to let us pootle around the private roads of the estate he lived in in it, when I was about 8 or 9.

Also the first car I ever went 100mph in - as a passenger, I might add.

I loved that thing.

Famously Princess Anne drove that model for a while.
The engines were the same as in the police cars on Z Cars (Ford Zodiac) but with the Scimitar's lightweight fibreglass body they were like shit off a shovel.

I almost wrote 'the Princess Ann model'.
twas a good piece of kit.

It's somewhere on my list of might get one one day cars, as they're still cheap as chips, but they were a bit shoddy even when they were new, so not sure about a 30 year old one.

As you'll know they were made from whatever was
available that happened to fit so yes, they're cheap as chips for a reason. Don't think I'd buy one now.
