Hi all,
Just thought I'd post a few pics of my motors
First up, my little Anglia. It's a 1960 Deluxe and is going to need it's first bit of welding this year. I would really love to get rid of the dents and give it a new coat of paint this year too.
It rolls along on a set of Mk1 Escort Mexico steel wheels, and it's powered by a 1300cc Pre-Crossflow which has an A2 camshaft, modified fast-road distributor and a nice pair of Stromberg CD150 carburettors bolted to an Alexander Engineering inlet manifold.
Get a few funny looks when it hangs off the back of modern motors in the fast lane of the A2 lol
Next up is my Rover. It's a 1972 V8 'S'. This might be up for sale in the next couple of months.
Now here's my beloved Capri. I feel really guilty because I've had it off the road for 5 years now, but two of those years I was unwell. It's all totally original apart from the wheels. It was stolen from Preston when it was three years old, and fortunately found the next day up on bricks minus it's Pepperpot alloys.
Nothing majorly wrong with the car, but it's starting to look a bit tired in places and could really do with a freshen up. This may well happen if I sell the Rover.
And lastly is my faithful, loyal daily driver called Trev. He's a 1990 Escort XR3i (EFI). I'm lucky to still have him as some thieving scum tried stealing him this time last year. Fortunately he's belled up and that scared them off.
I hope you enjoyed the pics.
Cheers
Jim
