They were based on the S type floorplan and Thunderbird go for later one if you can more BHP!! you can even find a handful of right hand drive ones that were offically done, This was back in 99 when Ford was going to sell Lincoln in the UK, Must have looked at Cadillac and said NO!

They won car of the year and as said above, based on the S-Class floorpan. However, all American cars are soft even the Mustang GT. Cadillac STS might be a good alternative too.

Theyre nice cars, the V8s use a detuned version of the Jaguar AJ-V8 engine, but they aren't prone to the timing chain, tensioner and Nikasil issues that the Jags are.

They made a handful of V6s with Manual transmissions, these are rare but nice to drive.. the proverbial "Hot Rod Lincoln".

Thanks all. I was interested in this one on ebay but decided to leave it due to the distance between me and it.
