We used to customize these, Twin cam engines, 1650 crossflow lumps. and finally squeezed a V6 ford lump. The good old days.I also really like the shape of this, my first car--The Ford Anglia 123e. This is the Deluxe version with a 1198cc engine.

Frank Cannon could sprint like a whippet. I always wondered about that.At 6'1 and 68 kilos I don't think so.
Only when they rolled him down a hill.Frank Cannon could sprint like a whippet. I always wondered about that.
BTW, 68 kg has got to be wrong.
beautiful car, shame it doesn't produce a very favourable google search result!For me the E-Type is my all time favourite, but the Growler is a very close second.

My Dad had the 4-door version. I was reminiscing about awhile ago and the search came up with a few photos of that. Can't help but agree it is a good looking car.I like the estates, & would also be very happy with a Skoda Rapid S110

I actually did it. Sprint engine in a TR7. Much better suited to the car than the standard engineI came within half a day of buying a Sprint to move all the bits in to my drop head TR7 when I was 19 but fortunately the breakers yard screwed me over on the deal. I think the TR7 would have looked great on the Sprint alloys, but considering how much of a twitchy handful it was standard I'd have been so much twisted metal round a lamppost if I'd actually got the Sprint engine running in it! Replaced the engine with another standard one (head had gone) and sold it on using the money to buy a Mk1 Escort with a 3.5 Rover in it. Lovely car.
I had a K reg one. Had a Rover V8 in it a previous owner had dropped in - together with the bonnet bulge of a Capri to clear the carbs.I agree with @stumpy66 View attachment 94262
Mine was this colour and R reg too. Should have kept it.
Gorgeous, not quite a petite as the 289, but still highly desirableFor me it's got to be this AC Cobra
