Just like to say thankyou to my wonderful wife and well done for keeping this a secret for almost 2 months until Christmas day and sorry for nearly giving you a heart attack evey time i found a car for sale! Also to her brother (Oldfordmorg) for giving it the once over and collecting it for her. Finally my next door neighbour Des, for trailering it up from Bognor & getting a ticket on it. Ive finally got a motor! Its a 1956 Prefect, 2L Pinto, 5 speed box, Capri Struts, 105E rear. Straight through with a cherry bomb Originally built by a guy into the custom scene (hence the stripes & 15" out back, 13"s up front ) Plans include - Rolling resto, a Period colour, bumpers back on and steels. As most people with a pulse on this site will be, im in awe of Oldschoolgeezers 100E and will be leaning towards that kind of style/spec. Just Leaves me to say happy 2008 to you all. Have a peek at the pics and thanks again to my wife Sarah.... love you loads! Got this on my birthday (23rd Dec) and couldnt think why????? .... then it all became clear. Half way through xmas afternoon, the brother-in-law popped out and I was ushered outside........ Boxing day, spent with a heat gun....... My son - Joshua, and nephew - Jake got stuck in too... Nasty blue detail..... Trip to Halfords..... Took those nasty 15" alloys off in preparation for some steels. Temporary measure, to see how much I can get a steel banded. Will post up progression on restorations.....

Thats friggin marvellous Eckie mate, got the look spot on!

looking good mate, great to see another model geek!

Was gonna be same as yours? Being one to be different, i may have to think of something else. Is that estate a member of your family?

Looking suspiciously like Autoart's 1/18th....?

Great job and you actually beat me to it. Bought an estate to do just that car!!! Well done

Possibly an Avenger?

Dont be shy or gentle Hang it out on round-a-bouts That looked fookin me-en-tal. 100E's, escorts & Corty's , fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la The air is filled with roars of 40's, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la I asked the missus for a slipper - fa-la-la-la.. la-la-la- la la la Not for my feet dear, what a shitter Fa-la-lala-la, la la la laaaaaaaaa.

Corgi..... worth a bit with the box and golfing figure with golf trolley. Either way its getting dished and dropped

Sooo difficult to share my love of old Fords without going through some geeky anorak Club or website Still..... it might happen one day Well said Petrol head... Respect to Posse for bringing us together.

Apologies for those that know..... or have seen a previous thread. Jim Clarks infamous 3 wheeling Lotus Tina has sold at Bonhams Auction for £136,000. The buyer can consider himself extremely lucky I had work that day.
