XC351 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Hi, I've been visiting a bit to these forums for a while now and decided to introduce myself. I have lived in the UK and now live back home just south of Sydney in Australia. When we lived over in the UK I had and restored a 1973 Australian ZF Fairlane which I sold to move back here. We them moved back to the UK a few years later and I brought with me my 1976 XC Fairmont GXL. We now have a 1972 XA Fairmont Coupe, 1976 XC Fairmont GXL and a 1977 XC Fairmont Coupe. All 351 Clevelands and the XA and the XC Coupes are both manuals. I will be moving back to the UK next year and bringing them with me. I will post up some pictures in another thread soon. Regards Wayne

XC351 Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Posted December 9, 2009 hi those awesome big beasts will make our escorts, anglias, capris etc look miniscule! look forward to seeing your pics I used to own a '72 Escort Lotus but sold it for $80 back in the '80's before I moved to the UK. Wish I still had it. I need to make 10 posts before I can post pics of our machines but when I have met my quota I will post some pics. Wayne

XC351 Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Posted December 10, 2009 Welcome to OSF Wayne Just noticed from your avitar that you are in Derbyshire. That is where we lived and still have property. We were about 6 miles out of Derby, Brackley Gate to be exact. Wayne
XC351 Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Posted December 10, 2009 Thanks for all the welcoming comments. I don't know how much help I'll be around here as I have mainly owned and restored Aussie Falcons/Fairmonts (XA/XB/XC) and Aussie Fairlanes. I used to own a '72 MKI Lotus Escort and a '69 MKII GT 440 Cortina which are both long gone now sadly. Regards Wayne
