JAY PS Posted December 12, 2010 Report Posted December 12, 2010 Started to scan some of my family albums My Dads old 1968 Transit SGX 272F ,just before BT changed it for a new 76 Commer van ! Amazingly this had been completly resprayed only months before this pic was taken ,you can just see the rust creeping back through on the arch !! They did get the most out them back then and most were resprayed before end of life so when they were sold off they got good money for them ,we were offered this for sale ,my dad could have bought it for less than £400 ! My First Car ,im here with FKT 982D at 11 yrs old in 1981 ,it had been our family car from 1970 (when i was born ) ,i still have all the panels and the engine is in my OGC car now ! When the A3 used to get jammed i took these !! My mate Dave and his written off Escort Ghia Spent a day cleaning another mates old Cortina ,the other cars in the garden were mine and dads ! My mates Capri 2.8i in 1988 -and one of his cortinas we resprayed
JAY PS Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Posted December 12, 2010 These more recent from early 2000 My dads old motoward van ,custom transit -in hindsight should have kept but i sold it to a rugby team who took it to europe ! Yes another AA van - My crewcab 150 di 93 Transit i owned for 5 years and was still around in bromley a couple of years ago I restored this Escort Rs in 2001 after i sold OVW (Granny ) ,i didnt own it long ,i hated the ride and i had driven better ! Not a Osf but was mega low mileage and immaculate ,owned it twice and its in a private collection somewhere in norfolk Same car but pic taken in 97 Has this Sapphire cosw 2wd for a couple of years ,it was sold around 2002 and the latest owner had it stolen in 2008 it was never found ,real shame This pic taken in late 80s ,mega chrome and murals ,stunning paint and i never saw it again ,was last taxed in 88 ! Pic from Slyfield
