Old bloody cars indeed. At least yours works, last Sunday my Impala's engine decided it didn't want to proceed in a seemly manner so it's off the road now until I can get it off to a reputable engine doctor. And I'm still waiting for my Anglia to go down south to my friend's workshop to be recommiss...

Years ago we fitted a droop snoot Firenza front end to an HB estate, it looked pretty good. HB Vivas were once my choice of cheap runabouts, I think the most expensive was 65 quid. None of them gave me any grief. Also had an FD estate, bit pricey at 100 quid, that served me faithfully for 2-3 years ...

Yesterday I took the Impala to its first show of the year in a small village, no problem getting there. And then it was time to go home, what could possibly go wrong? Oh. https://i.postimg.cc/02y9Nkk9/IMG-1234.jpg Bollocks. https://i.postimg.cc/hGPYLjYG/IMG-1235.jpg Left the show and as I accelerate...

I think that is a New Zealand plate, might be wrong though.

^^^Quite an abundance of the Mk2 & 3 big Fords there, at least four of each. They were splendid cars.

^^^By the Co-Op where the Impala once ventured into their car park so I could buy some groceries. I of course parked in the middle of two spaces. Like a cunt. Got tutted at by a middle aged couple in a manky Fiesta for doing so. Please note that we were the only two cars there so I wasn't stealing s...

We are only talking inches here....half a dozen or so in the random case of 1965 Bonneville/Parisienne. Year models also differ as you know - often quite considerably. Parisienne and Bonneville are just nameplates so it is difficult to compare like for like. Yeah I think it's generally about six in...

Think the red one was an impala, didn't get a better photo with folks in the way. 1960 Impala, same underpinnings as my 59. I bought a solid rolling shell 60 Impala 2-door hardtop for 50 quid back in 1986, the Swedes bought it for 550 quid so it's probably been restored and is cruising about over t...

Splendid photos there hugger with some mighty fine machinery. That Datsun 120Y reminded me of my late father who bought the lurid orange version brand new, KGW732P I think. I refused to be seen in it for quite a while. I felt sorry for that poor Humber with all that crap on it, also the Fury estate ...

I had thought about going to Stickney but completely forgot about it. Instead I went to the village of Moulton Chapel where they were having their annual fete/carnival/parade etc. Not a huge event but nice and cheerful with a few classic cars, off the top of my head me in the Impala, '78 25th Annive...
