Something like this:-
I bought a 1 owner, Owned by a Mr stanley Ford, 1959 100e prefect, 3 speed, 1172cc side valve for £300.00 back when I was 17 (1990). The intention was to hotrod it.So I Bought a tuned Mk11 Escort 1760 Burton pinto with twin 40s for it. but ended up running around in the mk11 until i blow the engine racing a golf gti.The car followed me around for a while During house moves right up to the house I'm in now, still with the intention to put a modern engine in it . But just didn't have the money, time or ( Matt H to hand). So I sold it about 5 years ago.
Still got The Reg NUD222.But still wished I had the room to of kept it and rebuilt it One Day !!
