At the motor auctions the other day, and saw this..

[Gabbastard]

Not something you see coming up every week. Up for auction next week as it didnt sell apparently

http://www.intercitymotorauctions.co.uk/stock_new.aspx?lot=175&site=glasgow&salenumber=2888

The things immaculate. Now, bearing in mind that all early ford engines used the same gearbox mounting pattern and many used similar mounts....

And should be left completely standard and kept in an immaculate condition... That's what you're saying isn't it!

Sweet car, saw one the other week but they are rare!

[Gabbastard]

Not sure too many people would cry about a V6 getting replaced with a V8. :P

Ahh man you're right, and I'm not exactly a purist type person, but when you get such a rare old perfect thing, something just screams out that it needs to be kept original and perfect...
