I think it has to be my ultra rare 1300 Pre Crossflow for the Anglia. I got it on eBay for a "buy it now" of £35 notes. Now considering it's considered the best Pre Crossflow to have, and 1500 Pre Crossflows seem to average £120, I don't think it was to bad.

 

But, and there always is a But, I have never had so many problems rebuilding or fitting an engine into any car, than I have had with this one.

 

The fecker still isn't running properly
