My 105E Anglia from 1968 had a pre crossflow cortina 1500GT engine.

1968? 1963 Surely?

[daveenty]

'63 car, OP may have owned it in '68, especially with the transplant he mentions...

[alancb]

My Frogeye with its original owner, Ron Taylor.

A very early one judging by the press studs along the top of the windscreen.

A drop of rain? Wet thighs a speciality.

Hi Mark,
How you doing and how's the Sprite? Can I add those images to the photographic database of UK registered Mk1 Sprites www.frogeye.smugmug.com
Also, the red stripe looks like the colours that Alexander Engineering used to use on their conversions.

Yes, it's an early one and yes the hood is rubbish in the rain.

Gary, Hi, long time. The Sprite is well thanks and of course you can use the pictures. I have some more on 35mm slides that I need to get printed. What's the most active forum for sprites these days?

[Mags]

I managed a quick and dirty way of photographing the slides I have been given by my Sprites original owners widow so excuse the quality.
Ron used to paint the Sprite every few years, I am only the 2nd owner so he owned it a long time (although I've owned it for about 27 years now)









And one of when it ran a Judson supercharger, sadly long gone now. You can see that anything that could be polished, was. The Rad was polished brass, the heater box is chromed (and still is)

I had one just like that back in 76/77. Bought it for £70 with a year's test and some tax. Only kept it a year or so as it failed it's next MoT.

Zephyr 4, the last year of these before the V4/V6 Mark IV. Was that Imperial maroon or Ambassador red? They were very strongly built cars - I drove a Zephyr 6 a month or so back and it was surprisingly good quality for a mass produced Ford.

Family picnic with Dad and his 2000 GTV, early 70's. Not quite sure how we all squeezed in!

[lesstatt]

As we are on zephyrs, here are a couple of my dads and me driving it in 1966 ish ?

[lesstatt]

A couple more but for some reason they have become reversed and now we seem to have a lhd car

Great stuff.

Great Zephyr pictures Guys.
Here is one I have shown earlier. Circa 1965 in Wales. Me [aged 15] standing by dads green Zephyr 6 - 310FOV. Great car bench seat, column change. Just back from Pendine Sands and my first driving experience outside my practising on Castle Bromwich Airfield. I found the change harder than a normal stick shift.
