I have to share this, I know any petrol head will appreciate it! A mate of mine came over yesterday in his ford anglia, he's had it now since I was at least 20 and it was his first car! I hadnt seen this car in years and the last time I saw it, it was boasting a massive 1100cc crossflow. Now 17 years later its one of the best sleepers about.... Full bare metal respray and something special under the bonnet completely standard interior Then for the really cool bit ! Lotus 1600 twincam on twin40's The noise was amazing but he is still running it in after full rebuild so I have to wait for a proper ride! The work that has gone into this car is just unreal... Hats off to him

Now that is gorgeous, as standard looking as possible under the circumstances which is what I like.
Tell your mate he has one fantastic car there. Although he probably knows that anyway!

Perfect!, That's the car Ford SHOULD have built! Just spoke to him and apparently ford made two lhd models with this engine at the dagenham plant and they were used as runarounds! This was before the engine ever went into the mk1 lotus cortina I have posted the link to him, he really knows his stuff with these cars ... hopefully he will join

I always think Anglias look best with a period feel to them and that's freakin' perfect.

I love 105E's and that is absolutely superb IMO. I love the fact that it's period correct, the colour, the wheels and trim. Stunning. I WANT THAT CAR!!!
