I'm pretty sure that was Steve Birchall's who competed in the Rover V8 Challenge with me

I worked for him when he owned Ed turners (Hotrod & custom car dealer) in Hayes High St

I used to live in Hayes and remember Ed Turners, used to go past there on the bus every morning and he had a Mk1 Escort in there, bubble arched with an Essex in it, started my interest in Mk1s, really wanted that car but at 16 years old it was slightly beyond my reach

I remember Ed Turners ,didnt they start a Hayes Cruise ,remember going over one night and the police sealed off the town and sent everyone home ,we all ended up at Heston services !

I went over to look at a forest green Mk1 2dr Cortina with 28i running gear that was needing finishing for about ~£2000 ,it needed loads of work ,there was some lovely pops there and i think a austin devon .

Good old days

Didnt i read steve still has the car and is thinking off getting it out again

[escamino]

Remember it in SM.

 

[sambo]

So people were ruining these cars way back in the 70's then! Lol.

[V8ian]

Steve Law, AKA Mr SpeedShack worked there, or worked from there IIRC

God....that is bloody awful. Whoever did that to the back of that mk1 escort needs putting to sleep.
