Ok, it stays - I was feeling grumpy yesterday. However, my view of the debasement of the word 'classic' still stands, and however good the Mondeo is/was it won't be a classic in my eyes, Peter. Most (but not all) mass produced cars aren't. I think that for such a car to be regarded as a classic it has to be technically innovative - Issigonis Minor and Mini come to mind as examples although they otherwise wouldn't fit my idea of 'classic'. On the other hand, I agree with Bluebottle that a few examples of any car should survive; hence my preference for the term 'collectable' to describe them.
