I was in St Just, Cornwall this weekend and spotted this at the beach. I thought it made a nice change to the usual surfers ubiquitous VWs (not that I have anything against them!). A local saw me snapping away - apparently it's his mates car. All of the mechanical restoration was carried out buy the owner, he thinks it was painted by a pro elsewhere. Overall, it looked awesome!    |

Simply perfect, I wouldn't change a thing. Any idea what motor its running? Judging by the vents and pipes I would hazard a guess at some kind of V8?

I hung about nearby (having an immense breakfast for those who care :-D) hoping the owner would turn up so I could ask him just that but sadly I got dragged off by the group I was with. I'm guessing it's a V8 though. |

I'm off down there myself on Saturday for a fortnight, I hope we get a few days like that. It's a Connie, not a Zephyr or Zodiac, so it might just still have a four-banger hidden under there. Whatever's powering it, it's quite possibly the nicest motor I've seen this year.  |

Nice Connie convertible, are those export rear lights I spy? And five-stud wheels make me think 'Mustang II front end'. Looks like an old Steve Kirk 'Custom Profile' come to life! |
