Re: Anglia

Welcome to the Forum, I am sorry to say that I can't find any history on the dealer other than a lot of newspaper adverts, here are a few of them. I too am a fan of the Anglia and Prefect and have owned a variety of them over the past 25 years, here are the three that I currently have, one is hiding...

Re: Ford SideValve Owners Club Information Correction

I think I might know who you are but a real name would go a long way for the benefit of all the members here. I am glad to hear that the club will now export, I used to get quite upset years ago when they advertised that they export and then flatly refused to send it to me in Canada.

Re: Ford Cortina MK2 Auto - Potential project or parts only?

The earliest Mk2 Cortina's still had 1500 non-crossflow engines but they also had the later 6 bolt, lip seal crank. If you are lucky, that block could be the coveted L block that will take a good overbore to bring the displacement up and still be a rev-happy motor. I don't recall the details offhand...

Re: CL-Ford Cortina Lotus Bumpers - $250 (CA)

I bought a nice stainless steel set of bumperettes years ago for my 100e as well as a stock set of Mk1 Escort bumpers, the trouble is that it's difficult to get the mounting brackets just right.

Re: 302 Powered Mk2 Cortina BAT

That video does hint at the potential of the Cortina and I am convinced that it is quick without seeing it at full tilt, I just noticed in one of the photos that the driveshaft is somehow rubbing against what looks like a seatbelt bolt, that must make some noise?? https://i82.servimg.com/u/f82/17/10...

Re: 13” tires

I found it to be quite difficult to find performance 13 inch tires in North America so I ended up buying mine out of the U.K. I think this firm might have changed hands in the meantime but this is it now, I ended up with these 5.5 x 13 wheels and 185 x 60 x 13 tires. I have yet to put them on my car...

Re: James - Could You Please Delete the Spam Messages?

There are at least two of these pathetic losers on our forum so far as I can see, time to flush the toilet. I have even been getting private messages from these mouth breathers, these two to be removed.  https://i82.servimg.com/u/f82/17/10/84/53/enfo_f10.png https://i82.servimg.com/u/f82/17/10/84/53...
