New owner of a ‘68 Cougar - in the UK!!

Hello fellow Cougar owners. My names is James I am 19 and have just purchased and imported a 1968 Cougar J code to the UK. The car is very genuine and original survivor. Runs good and goes through all the gears lovely.
I saved hard for this motor and just wanted to share it with some fellow enthusiasts😆

Hey James - thanks for telling us about your cat and posting the pics.

Awesome Cougar and I think you were smart to start off with a very original car.

Thanks Phillip!

Welcome James! Congrats on the new acquisition and may it bring you many years of driving pleasure!

Yes James congratulations on purchasing the car and it arriving in good condition. And on top of that it being a San Jose built Cougar also!!!

Now enjoy

I love it when a plan comes together! Welcome!

Welcome to the sign of the cat and enjoy your cougar.

Thanks for the welcome, I’m sure she will!

Yes welcome, I’m curious as to what part of the UK you are from? I travel somewhat frequently north of Manchester and love it up there.

Thanks!

Hi,

I actually live where your founding fathers left😆 The city of Plymouth on the Devon coast.
Love your 69 cat…

Thanks dude, I’m sure she will…

Thanks! Hopefully you will see more of me on this forum😆

Thanks!!

Oh yes all fell together perfectly. Took a few weeks to come over the pond but the wait was worth it!

Okay Jeff, I must ask. How to you know this is a San Jose car? Did I miss James posting the VIN? Or do you see something in the construction of the car that says San Jose? Or did you know the car before James purchased it? Curious minds want to know. Thank you.

And to James. Congrats on your purchase. I too hope that you have many years of pleasant times with your new Cougar. Two guys you might want to get ahold of England are Barrie Dixion in Manchester and Tim Glover in Wirral. You should be able to get their contact information off the CCOA website. Now go take that Cougar for a spin around the block.
