And I can't remember when I last saw a first generation Ford Escort
from the same era.
My mate a mile up the valley from here has one in his garage.
Of course, if it spends most/all of its time in his garage it rather
proves my point about any other surviving 1960s machines being treated
as preserved equipment, rather than being in full-time use like the 1967
stock.
It is hardly valid to compare a car, built to a design life of ~60,000
miles and ~5 years, with a train, built to a design life of many
millions of miles and ~30 years.
I thought Ford cars of that era were built with a design life of warranty
period plus 1 day...
