Have you started working on the mex yet? Would be good to see it on the road again (even if I don't see it in real life).

Funny you should mention it but as soon as the driver's wing turns up I'm taking the front off, engine out before it goes to an Escort specialist just over the border in Cornwall to do the repairs!

All things being equal - on the road by the Spring!

Good to hear it. Wouldn't mind seeing it one day, if you're at any PH meets when I'm down that way (we go on holiday to Dartmoor most years).

Thought that this thread could do with an update biggrin. What with these of times of downsizing, it would be interesting to hear if anyone can beat the best of 62 so far.

No woohoo for me at only 26 (five cars - a 2cyl,3x4cyl,a 6cyl, three bikes all v2)

Off to browse for cheap V12's...
