1967 Mercury Cougar.

I'm actually tempted :lol: But then again I don't have garage space for it, it's probably about as reliable as the weather and a 1960s 5.7 litre V8 is sub optimal when fuel is £1.45 a litre. :D

Plus the body is clearly not straight.

£2.50 a ticket though.

Plus they've fallen foul of the ASA in the past and hold no gambling / lottery license.
On the other hand the ASA ruling has meant they have to offer a 'free to enter' option, as explained in their terms
