1954 Anglia for sale in B.C.

It is unusual to find another 100e for sale in British Columbia but this 1954 Anglia turned up for sale a day ago, I have no previous knowledge of this one but it looks interesting.

Re: An interesting VIN plate

Yes, it is kind of a novelty and I know you can easily buy the blank VIN plates, it makes it look a little bit factory.

An interesting VIN plate

I found the VIN plate to be interesting on this vehicle, we recently had a small rod show here in Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, the Anglia was quite nicely done.

Re: Crossflow Connecting Rods

I get it, there is so much made there and I know they can make good quality if needed but there is a lot of sub-standard stuff too, I think I will just use what I have.

Re: Crossflow Connecting Rods

Thanks Pete for the offer but I do have a bunch of rods here that I can use, I was just wondering why those aftermarket rods seemed so well priced? There is so much aftermarket, Chinese made stuff out there that might be quite sub-standard or not, that it makes me suspicious of buying anything these ...

Re: 1970 Lotus Elan S4 parting out.

Yes, Lotus spares are always good to have, I remember when I had my Lotus Cortina, one of the things that bothered me most was that front timing cover. The front timing cover contained the poorly designed water pump and when it failed, the whole front timing cover had to be removed. If I ever own ...

Re: 1970 Lotus Elan S4 parting out.

I bet there is a number of good things to save out of the Elan that will work on the Cortina, the transmission, differential and instruments or a start.

Nice, I try to find car museums whenever we are in the U.K. but I haven't managed to see any European museums just yet.

Re: Post up your current car status!

Nice collection, what year is the Mk2 Lotus? I had an early 1967 Mk2 from 1973 to 1984, it was a great driving vehicle.

Re: All About Me (Michael)

Looks very sound, do you find yourself overwhelmed with too many vehicles these days? I think that I may have to downsize my 100e collection to create some garage work space and time to devote to my other vehicles, there is one too many cars in there.
