The Red Barracuda belonged to Steve and Lorraine from Edmonton.
Of course now I remember. I've no idea where the Duster went though.

The Duster had sat for many years when somebody found it and made a start on sorting it out, I sold the guy some parts maybe 15 years ago I can’t remember who or where….

The red Superbird was John Castleman’s, original petty blue car it ended up with Pete Wiseman before going back to the States.
Was that the ‘bird that Jason owned for a while, forever searching for a bench seat?

I remember driving it to the DVLA office in Romford to register it, I asked the girl if I could have a 6 digit reg and she gave me XMD 44M. Good luck with that in these faceless chat bot days.
