.... is a GRP bodied 1929 Model A Ford Tudor, P5 3.5L RV8 with BW35 auto trans, E-Type Jag IRS, Cortina based IFS and everything else from all sorts of 70's cars.

Certainly not to everyone's taste but I hope you like it.

Not my taste!, but truly magnificent all the same. What a cracking motor!

Thanks, Perry, but I can't take credit for it all. I bought it like that.
I will take credit for the engine dressing, though, as I did do that

.
The car was featured in the Custom Car mag in Dec 87. It was painted bright red then.
It got it's present colour scheme in 1989 and the paint is still good 22 years later.
I was going to change the colour but I've had so many good comments at shows I've decided to keep it as is for a while longer.
Besides, wherever I go in it there are all these young ladies who ask to have their picture taken with it and I can't disappoint them, can I ?
