Not many folk will drop 9grand into a ten year old V8 that’s done 200k miles.
It doesn’t look ten years old.
4.9secs to 60. That’s impressive no matter what you think of that as a metric.
Is it supercharged?
ULEZ compliant - hilarious!

We have contractors who routinely take their Hilux's for MOT at 200,000mile or more.75k a year is normal for them.
3hr drive to site. Work. 2hr drive to site. Work. 3hr drive home.
Do that 5-6days a week. Out the house 4am to 7-8pm every day.

500/600 miles a day wasn’t unusual

Does look very decent! Impressive considering the engines had a habit of grenading themselves at higher miles, I’m sure I heard?Looking at some of these I feel more impressed how my dad used to clock the miles in his Sierras.
He used to be a taxi driver mid 90s into early 2000s and had 3 Sierras. 1.8l he took to 200k miles and 2 2.0l 8v he took to over 300k miles. Did about 60-70k miles a year from memory.
Then he switched to Mondeos. He had 1 diesel that did about 250k miles then switched back to petrol as he found them easier to work on himself. 1 he pushed to 400k miles the last one around 200k before he retired.
Some of his colleagues would laugh because they would get Mercedes or Toyotas and say Fords were unreliable but in all that time with Fords he only ended up breaking down unable to drive home 3 times. Most of the time he would repair himself and nurse it home.
