Saw the back of a V reg D9 today, which was white but had what appeared to be black plastic doorhandles! I thought 406s all had colour-coded handles?

As it goes Welton, I'd only just come in from my local, so yes, I had been drinking.

But no really, I wasn't dreaming or anything, there really was a page in the Ford brouchure for the "granada Taxi", jst like there was one ofr L, GL, Ghia etc. I was a Granada with no trimmings.

Really now....

Someone help me out here, I'm not dreaming

Aw, leave me alone, or I'll find the forum's bullying and harrassment policy.
