1300cc Mk1 Escort Van (white of course).

The reason I bought was in the back of it was a 1650 pre cross flow stage2 Engine, 2000E 3 rail box with mexico bell housing, 3.1 Capri Diff and a box of quad Weber DCOE40 side drafts.

The owner run out of money, so I pretty much stole it off him.

2 months latter the stuff in the back was in the front and underneath, loads and loads of fun  :)

1971 Marina 1.3 Coupe in Blaze orange with Brown Vinyl Roof  :D
Drum Brakes all round so that was a weekly adjustment to keep it vaguely stopping... went sideways everywhere including across a frozen lake in the west midlands... ;D Plod watching from shore not impressed but it was 1984 so got a ticking off and dont be so stupid sonny rather than arrested :o
Replaced with ex-plod Morris Ital 1.3 after 40000 miles, sold for what I paid for it :)

Mine was also a mk3 ford cortina gxl, 1600, 1973 vintage white with wolfrace 4 spoke alloys. I loved that car so much till some tw#t in a marina stoved in the rear panal and bent the rear panal so much that the rear doors popped open and would not shut. :(

Triumph 2000. B.R Green(ish) with a soft concertina type sunroof.

Had an Opel Manta Berlinetta at one point. Colorado Sand with a black vinyl roof. Reg No. UBX 399T.
One day I was driving through my home town behind an Opel Kadette. Same colour and vinyl roof. The reg No. was UBX 400T

Sunbeam Talbot 90. The brakes had packed up on it and I bought it for "scrap" as an early teenager. Drove it around off road for a while before getting rid of it.  It isn't one of the 17 that still survive!!
