welcome to the board, man thats a cool ride, is that a ford anglia? A buddy told me that ford was building stuff like that in jolly old England back in the 40`s and 50`s. How long you been racing it? I have been reading from other sources and am finding out that there are alot of american muscle cars and dailey driver types there, then I thought. Thats cool.The austin healeys , and m.g`s have been rising fast in regard here with teh babby boomers too, early to late 60`s. I `ve been seing them on the road alo more then the muscle set , especially since the gas prices hit the rise. The car club imm in is an international group and we have a large contingent with us from there, winged warriors, national b-body owners. well anyway welcome to the board, and glad to have you here.

hi, the body is actually a toppolino body.

American cars are very big in England. only own american cars, ive got a 94 mustang which i am selling at the moment and the silverado for my daily drive.

i lived in Texas when i younger for couple of years so i have always loved american cars.

Ford did build alot of English type cars that people like to make into hot rods, the most popular is a Ford Popular known as 'Pop'. This is my dad's ford pop hot rod
