I will go for free tax and keep MOT's going, I would anyway for safety and peace of mind, even though mine's only modified a little bit!

I will be there, barring flood, famine, and plagues of locusts!

A proper boat! I would far rather own that than a plastic Princess! as you said, a great feeling of pride to have been trusted with it's re-commissioning.

Well done Jane! you deserve it after all your hard work getting your Mk3 to how good it is

No pics, but it would be my 1957 Mk2 Zephyr, I got engaged and 'sensible' sold it and bought a more economical Morris 1100, well we learn by our mistakes, with the money spent on constant repairs it would have covered the extra petrol cost........

Iv'e got two Cortinas, a Mk3 modified a lot (not caged) engine, transmission, suspension and brakes, and a Mk5 Crusader estate which is original, could be the way to go, one for days out and shows, and one for track events........

Good coverage of the Duchy Capri club show!

If too many were missed the hand would get a good talking to from a thin piece of bamboo! - I soon remembered to use them!

I understood that the MOT exemption was just being considered by the government, I reckon they have bigger fish to fry to fry than this one! if it goes ahead it will take a long time to get organized, testers, testing stations paperwork and several thousand white collar staff to organize it!

Originally fitted to Mustangs, mine was fitted to my NASP Cossie 265 brake with nos well over 300, with no probs, Mk3 full weight Cortina it made 13.1 on the strip.

Thanks for that, just seen one on ebay for £1,200, and wondered if it was a realistic price.......

What would be the current value of a Sierra T5 cossie box in good condition these days?

I could be a case of electric engine or leave it in the garage! by that time its bound to be anti-social to burn fossil fuels, a bit like smoking now.........

Formula E engine in an OSF? sounds like a plan, there should be a few old ones by then!

Thank you! too many of em now!

I will be 93 by then so not bovvered! we will all have been deemed obsolete by robots then so no need for travel!

apparently the pressures are not compatible as they are controlled (on modern cars) by the ECU so back to te drawing board!

I've got all the bits and pieces apart from the Pinto pump and bracket

The electric direct to column unit does not fit on the Mk3,4,5 Cortinas as there is not enough space for the unit under the dash, the mechanical bracket and pump that is fitted to the 2.0 Sierra is the one I need, but they are like hens teeth! I have a rack so the remote hydraulic pump seems to be an easy option.

Has anyone used a electric hydraulic power steering pump and reservoir to drive an 'old school' rack that is usually driven by a mechanical belt driven pump? I'm using a Mk4 2.3 Cortina rack, and was thinking about using a Mini Cooper pump.

The nasp 2.4 Cossie YB produced 265 brake, but it did cost £6500, with the NOS guess it was well over 300 brake, power costs money! cheaper fix is with a big turbo, but I didn't want that.

It can get a bit messy around the Devon coastline now and again!

A big thank you to Chris and Scott for organizing the tour, the venue was good and the tour around the moors was great, I'm looking forward to next year

Excellent pics! all the cars looked stunning

It deffo makes a difference then? I've looked at getting some a few times,
