Bit steep  ::)

I paid £200 for a blue ,3 door Fraud escROT with 12 months MOT ,couple of months tax and used it for a year and scrapped it for about £50
also picked another one up (burgundy 5 door) with 3 months MOT for £65 ,had to 'bean can repair' the back box and scrapped that 3 months later for IIRC £30

I guess the black ones fetch more than blue or burgundy  :D

See my joke.

I think they were all produced in white except hers. It also looks like it has a standard grill.

Perhaps your sought after Mondeo Titty X was formerly owned by the Queen. :)

Check out the log book. ;)

I had a 200 mile ride in a newish Mundano.  Even as a passenger you could feel the suspension was shagged.

But then it was a taxi, so despite being only 4yrs old, it probably had galactic mileage on it.

Driven an ST220. 3 litre V6 if memory serves. It went well but poor low down torque.

I think my Mondeo is an ex taxi so it's quite possible it's had a few old queens sat in it at one time or another.  :)

I still think £650,000 may be a touch optimistic. :D

Saw an ad a couple of months ago for a Rover 3.5 coupe (1972) which apparently once belonged to Her Majesty looked immaculate around 50,000 miles guide price around £40,000 that seemed very reasonable. Also a 1993 Rover 800 guide price £8000 even better .

Very popular with the government(s) of the sixties and seventies. :y

I think it was a bargain. It cost Andrew £12 million to get rid of his Escort.  :D
