Collectible example of the retro-styled 11th generation Thunderbird, Low genuine mileage with history, Sensational specification, Superb condition inside and out, , Introduced at the end of 2001, the 11th generation Ford Thunderbird was one of a series of retro-styled cars to emerge from Ford's "Living Legends" design studio, which used inspirational design from cars of the past to influence the brand's future direction., The strategy was the brainchild of Ford's Head of Design, J Mays, who had introduced similar themes in his previous role at Volkswagen, where he delivered the New Beetle. It came at a time where retro was king in the cart industry, with models such as the MINI and the Jaguar S-Type also exhibiting old-school styling cues., Indeed, the Thunderbird is actually closely related to the latter. It uses the same Ford DEW98 platform as the Jaguar, and while the engine under the bonnet wears a Lincoln badge (it also featured in the Lincoln LS Sedan) it's actually a 4.0-litre Jaguar AJ V8 unit with 290bhp. A great engine that suits the Thunderbird's performance character., This one is a special example from the final year of production, in which the only Thunderbird offered was the 50th Anniversary Edition, specced with absolutely every option imaginable including alloy wheels and a hardtop, complete with retro-styled "porthole" window., This one has been in the UK for the past 10 years ...............Part Exchanges Welcome................, Visit our website: www.platinumautos.co.uk.
