HISTORY FILE Built in Aveley By Fords Advanced Vehicle Operations factory this is one super rare vehicle, First registered on the 10th August 1972 when a local shopkeeper went into his local Ford main dealership and asked if it was possible to buy a Mexico with four doors. After a couple of phone calls to Aveley, they confirmed that they could build a four-door car to full Mexico specification for an extra £45 (quite a lot of money in those days). Perhaps they assumed that the increase in price would deter the potential buyer, but it didn't and the four-door car was ordered there and then. What makes this such a rare car is in that only six were ever produced by Ford, Four white exhibits went to the Jersey Police, Another one was a test and development car and this Tawney Brown model went out into the public domain, The specification for this model is exactly as per Mexico's in two doors. This vehicle was subject to a full restoration three-years ago by marque specialist, Tony Collins of Car and Classic Restorations in Herne Bay, and the quality of the work is evident today. The history file is comprehensive and contains everything you would want to see, substantiating its provenance including a letter from Ford AVO confirming that its a Mexico four-door. This level of detail is possibly as a result of the car being owned by one of the AVO Club Registrars in the past. The vehicles in amazing condition a piece of history along with the Mexico name and Ford badge, This will take proud stage in any private Ford collection for a Blue oval fanatic this is as rare as they come and only one chance to add it to your collection due to their not being another genuine example retaining the originality. With historic invoices and previous owners details along with AVO credentials you could not ask for a more documented timeline of a vehicles history, Truly remarkable.
