Any such questions always reminds me of Trigger in Only Fools and Horses - he got a medal for using the same brush for 18 years, although he did have 12 replacement hands and 14 replacement heads!. There really is NO way that you can call the 1972 Escort that I had the same model as the 1994 that I currently drive. AND both are completely different to the last `Escort` off the production line.
