I've been speaking to a curator at Beaulieu and she informs me
that red Cougar is on loan to them, owned by a company that has a collection of Bond vehicles. I told her I was interested in it and she is passing my details on, something might come of it...............don't ask ,don't get eh? ;)

That will be a really nice car when it's done. Cougars never got the aclaim they should have deserved as they were always over shadowed by Mustangs.

I spoke to Barrie Dixon(ex UK rep of the Cougar Club Of America and that car is in Safe hands with one of his UK mates.

When i last spoke his mate in the states has a 69 428 CobraJet XR7 Convertable for sale,Barrie often goes over to the states and has driven it and its a blast to drive.
