At 6'1 and 68 kilos I don't think so.
Best looking car of all time.

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.

My last one had 10inch wide tyres on the back, along with just about everything else.

Frank Cannon could sprint like a whippet. I always wondered about that.
BTW, 68 kg has got to be wrong.

For me the E-Type is my all time favourite, but the Growler is a very close second.

late addition, I always thought the Z8 was a stunning car and was built like a bespoke unit. they only made around 5,000 so those still around must be worth a few quid

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 engine
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.
Saw it again a few years after I sold it. The new owner had swapped the V8 for a Triumph 2400 straight 6
It also sort of goes in my 'old Italian cars' category as it was done by one of the Italian design houses. Pinnifarina?

Gorgeous, not quite a petite as the 289, but still highly desirable
I take it you've seen 'Gumball Rally'?, with the scene in the Los Angeles 'storm-drains'??
Best part is from about 1.45

It reminds me of the Morgan Life Car, but I think I'd prefer the offering from the Malverns

It depresses me to think about it but here are a few of the cars I owned and the prices sold for.
E Type £1,000
MK2 Jag £250
S Type jag £400
MGB and GT loads from £500 upwards
308 gt4 £7,000
308 gts £24500 sold 6 years ago, now worth £65,000++ I think. it was the one given away by CE on TGIF
Silver Cloud 1 £5,000
Fiat X/19 loads of them around £1500
P Reg Range Rover without power steering £2,000 maybe less
Fiat Strada Abarth 130 £5,000
Capri 3.0
VW camper vans £1,500 That brings pain and lots of it I sold loads of them
More fast Fords than I care to remember
That will do for now as I cannot see through the tears.
I was a busy car dealer from 1976 through to 1988 when I moved up north.
