Only two registered keepers since first UK registration in 2018
Highly original with quintessentially 70s styling
Recently used as a daily driver
The Appeal
Introduced in 1965, the Ford LTD (Ell-tee-dee) was introduced as the highest trim level and largest car in Ford's repertoire - in fact, it was amongst one of the largest cars on the market. Second generation cars like this one are over 18-and-a-half feet long, and loaded with executive comfort. The result is an American land-liner that's bound to impress anybody when roaming the open road. Just avoid narrow hairpin streets!
This Ford LTD has been well-maintained and used as a daily driver by both its current and previous owners. Wrapped in metallic champagne and kept very close to original order, this car is ready and waiting to indulge the lucky new owner in its 5,766cc V8 burble and attractive, quintessentially retro colour scheme.
