Fast Fords: Ford Fiesta ST & Ford Focus ST

February 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Some cars that won’t make it to posters on kids’ bedroom walls, these two hot hatches are together just exciting enough for a post. deJurriaan took some pictures of the Fiesta St on Scheveningen a week ago, and only a day later I spot the Focus ST while on a walk though Dordrecht. So let’s [...]

Mercury Capri (’91-94)

January 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment

Feast your eyes out on this tupperware cabrio! You can spot cars on the strangest places, I ran into this rather unknown car in front of a day care centre. I can’t find much about the car on the internet, but it appears that this car was only produced by Ford Australia… It is a [...]

Ford Capri GT (Mk1)(?)

January 13th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Once famously promoted with the slogan ‘The car you always promised yourself‘, but I don’t recall promising myself a heavily pimped, overstated, orange two-seater European style Ford Capri coupé… Obviously, the current owner of this car is a dedicated Capri driver, and has spend much time and effort in creating a car that is both [...]

Ford Mustang Coupé (1967-1968?)

January 9th, 2008 · 6 Comments

We haven’t seen a car on Coolhaven for a while now, so let’s go back to my lovely neighborhood. Fellow author Waizfisz is in the market for a nice first generation Ford Mustang, so you would expect that he would be posting American muscle cars here all the time. However, he seems to be enjoying [...]

Ford Taunus 20M (1967)

December 2nd, 2007 · No Comments

As promised when I posted the Taunus XL, I had to dig up the old pictures of the Ford Taunus 20M which was spotted before. And it is a good thing, because this is quite a nice car. I am especially fond of the front of the car, the grille is just brilliant! It is [...]

Ford Taunus XL (1969)

November 26th, 2007 · 8 Comments

Let’s stay with Ford for a while. On Coolhaven, I spot this green old Taunus XL Automatic. Comparing it with pictures online, I would say it is a 1970-1976 Taunus TC. Especially when I look at the bonnet of the car. Sure enough, the headlights match with the older XL, but that $%&(*^ hood! Is [...]

Ford Ranger (1st generation)

November 26th, 2007 · No Comments

Well, this car may be quite common in certain parts of the world, in Rotterdam it is kinda rare. And I like this Ranger, particular the colors and old school looks. So, enjoy the pictures of this old pick-up I won’t bother you with specs and loading capacities and all. Just enjoy it for what [...]

Another Ford Mustang Coupé (1968-70)

November 19th, 2007 · No Comments

This poor Mustang is a bit run down… It could really use some spit and polish. Its spotted quite a while ago but never made it to the ‘new’ site. The Continental triggered something in my head, I suddenly remembered these pictures. If you are after a really nice example of this American muscle car, [...]
