Hi and welcome to RR.
Great selection of cars you got there mate.
I've had a few Manta's in the past, just got to love 'em. Also had a mint Nova SR and a GSi too.
The split screen Minor looks superb. What is the spec on the A series engine?
The Firenza DS appears to be well tidy, what motor are you planning for it?

Nice little collection you have there! Looks like you have a good workspace too, good to stop the Vauxhalls from dissolving outside  --Phil |

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, were do i begin, The droop snoot is staying witht the original engine as from what i know it is a Blydenstein fast road engine with port matched 48 Delortos and cam etc. The engine that is the minor In the second picture is a 1293 with big valve head and mg midget gearbox (Quick enough when i was on my R's) The engine has since been removed but hoping to do a minor project sometime and will put it back in. The workshop atm is just a bare shell, me and my dad are building it slowly but we are getting there. And yes i am from Northern Ireland (ballymena area). And would consider selling the Hc, I contacted you a few weeks back CARMAD on jon44w.com. Small Word Once agin thanks for the warm welcome, will keep everyone posted |

Alright Scott - I never realised you had as many motors around you. Still love that Minor though. I hadn't noticed it was a splitscreen before.
