i have an 'R' Mondeo Verona 1.8LX, had it since it was brand spanking new. Picked it up at midnight in the old days when 1st of August was the big day. Verona is a special edition that comes with Air Con, Metallic Pain and Alloy wheels.
Absolutely worship the car, paid for it years ago and it's a diamond. Full service history, drives like a dream. Missing nothing that newer cars have. Never intended to keep it this long but it's such a boss car. Had it 9 years almost and it's only done 75000 miles....I reckon it could see more another 9 years easily!
