It actually to second one I've had given me
A couple of years ago I was given a 1994 16v Probe, full Ford history, tax'd and MOT'd and a full tank of petrol
The chap who gave me this one had moved on and bought himself a different car. He didn't want the usual ebay vultures picking over it nor did he want to drive it down to his local scrap yard so he posted on our forum asking if anyone wanted it
