At first I thought that the $45,000 asking price was a joke! or maybe this was for 10 Ford Pops?
It is only for 1 car, however the seller has made some improvements that justify the price.
He has re-trimmed the interior with some surplus material from a late Austin Allegro, giving this car a more modern 1980's feel.
The non standard wheels may look tasteless, but I bet they improve performance.
I notice a clever trick with the wiring: keep the old wiring but cover it in some flexible ducting from Screwfix, this will ensure that any small fires caused by the original wiring failing will be contained....for a while...
The 4" chrome exhaust tail pipe will help ensure that every one of this vehicles 30hp will do its job.
He has fitted a new horn, and confirms that it works!...now that's a testament to the quality of a no expense spared restoration
I can see now where I've been going wrong with my own restorations.

Dave,
I assume that you have to subscribe to photobucket to see the images.
