check this out. No idea about the story behind it, but the pictures kind of tell the story. Some wild repair skillzorz there. No idea of the year but the photos and the style of the custom work suggest a general era... www.greenpete.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=8Last taxed in 1990. Sadly I doubt its a survivor today. I miss mine.

WOW, I used to own that rolled FD. Bought it in the early 90's, but as I was only 18/19, I couldn't afford the insurance on the V8. When I got it, the prop had let go and someone had made a new one out of a lorry prop, and to get it to clear the tunnel had used some uprated springs out back. Unfortunatly, they neglected to put a longer brake flexi on, and it was like a piano string! Had a stock Rover and 4 speed manual 'box that sounded awsome, and went like stink!

Sold it to a mate who kept it on his drive for a couple of years. Last heard of in about '93, supposedly being put back on the road, but according to the DVLA it no longer exists. Shame, as it was a reasonably solid one.

Got to admire the skills, but also the determination....
Chap who bought my Lexus V8 was going to shovel that into a Ventora.
