Good looking car but......

Another friend bought a Spitfire ahorty after I taught him to drive a manual transmission car. A 1961 Ford Anglia. There was one in one of the Harry Potter movies and it ended up in a tree.

Worked on many Heralds, Spitty's, MG's Jags, TR's and Mini's.

Also raced a TR-3, a TR-4A and 2 different Mini Cooper S'.

Fun cars, wouldn't want to depend on them to get me to work in the winter, although they usually did.

I see you have a Mini in the first photo. That was one of the most amazing cars I've ever owned, driven & raced.

Beautiful restoration by the way. Congrats!

with your background.

I'm still waiting for the final installment. They take an old Mini and keep the body relatively intact and stuff in a Toyota Celicia drive train.

One comment in an issue was. It is amazing how they work them selves out of self imposed problems...
