Curiously small compared to the modern MPV behind it. But then again, l et’s face it, an American land yacht and an Irish C -road would not be practical bedfellows

This one has side trim from Fairlane so it’s a lower priced model. A quick Google search reveals it’s a Mainline, the lowest of trim levels.

I think I was trying to write here that Fairlane has different side trim. N ot that it has Fairla ne side trim.

It’s a pity it’s not a F
airlane. That model was called after Henry Ford’s estate which in turn was called after a street of that name in Cork in memory of his adoptive grandfather. It’s been renamed since, but what used to be F
air Lane is about 200m from where the car was parked.

Also the name of one of the shell companies in the Sitmar shipping group.

I’m not so sure. Top of the line trims always get preserved in bigger numbers and sometimes people convert low trim cars to high trim spec so I think it’s cool to see a lower end model getting some love too.
