Had the granny for just over a year, she was bough for a bit part in a film called 'Clubbed' set in the 1980s, she was an undercover police car. Here she is on the rig  A couple of weeks ago I did a shoot for Retro Ford mag with her, she will be the 'example' in the Buyer's Guide  Looked back into the studio and though, damn that's my car??  Bernice is going to be the 'example' in the Buyer's Guide, out in July or August I think. August would be better, it's me Birthday in August. In true star fashion she had a tantrum on the way to the shoot, on the M25, resulting in my having to put 5L of water in the rad. WHERE did that go?? No harm seems to have been done though.... |

Well I have to be completely honest and say she takes a good picture. I have just charged straight off the M25 before the studio shoot!! Directly before the film shoot I won it off ebay, went to Staffordshire to fetch it, drove back, then drove from London to Birmingham (3 times on 3 days) and she was as good as gold, apart from that water tantrum! I think the water pump is on it's way out, it's dripping.

I have to own up and say she's not a proper X, all the toys are there, but the leather had to go cos of the bad damage on the passenger seat. She's not injection and never has been, and the boot lid won't stay up cos of the two pounds of solid rubber that's been put on it!

Fred gets EVERYWHERE sometimes you just can't hide from her Hello Rob! Yes I am on Street safari, but never manage to plan far enough ahead to go on a Banger Rally. Would love to though. Granny wouldn't qualify for one though, she cost all of £350...... |
