This is a personal favourite. A wonderful exercise in restraint.

Funny car is immense! A bit of googling has left me with no more info on it though it the chassis might have previously worn a Topolino body.

This is a personal favourite. A wonderful exercise in restraint. Yes for me too,beautiful. Amazing these haven't commanded the same premiums as the mk2 escorts.

HB's have most definitely come of age. I do wonder if their values are about to go completely mental, now that mk1 Escorts are generally priced on a par with Lizzie's CROWN Jewels (if they were for sale)... Edit - interesting to see Vaughant's similar slant above, just a minute before mine. I do wonder if it's a case of they'll never command crazy dollar (apart from GTs, which are already massively on the up), just because they're GM and not Ford.

Indeed, I sent him the pics years ago (way back when we connected with dial-up and if you used the internet, it was only fair to make a website yourself). I can't believe it's still there looking just like it did back then: www.vivasandstuff.co.uk/

The Mazmanian Kadett ran in AA/GS so was a proper gasser.
The one in the OP is an AA/A which is a blown altered (wheelbase) car that runs on petrol.
All the gasser classes had to run standard wheelbase, hence why most of the gasser recreations would actually be altereds.
