Good question.

HowManyLeft says there are about 15 from 1974/5. Any on here?

I'm still looking for the one remaining Mk1 244 GLT

Regards
Lucien

You would need to divide that off into saloons and estates of course!

15 is more than I would have guessed. I remember an orange '75 245 being for sale in Lincoln about four years ago. That's the oldest I can recall.
