Very nice yes

Looking to bolt on a K&N filter to mine... Rather sceptical of the claimed 18hp gain, but I gather the sound is nice.

UK/Euro spec from the mirrors? Radiator grille's different to mine - kinda like the Camaro decals along the skirts thumbup

it's a heritage grille IIRC (previous owner fitted it) and it is a UK spec <sob> so there are a few ideas being kicked round (US spec mirrors being high on that list!)

After the impulse purchase of the Crown Vic NYC cab in the summer, I seem to have become the owner of a matching bus. Arrives early-Jan.

WTF have I done now? Must. Keep. Away. From. eBay. When. Drunk.

I know that now, Especially since I've subsequently found that I don't have a licence to drive it as it's over 13 tonnes. So I've got to take my Cat C test to even use it. biggrin

Here’s our 1957 Buick Roadmaster 75
We’d just returned from Spa Classic last year and only kind of broke down once.

I friend of mine had a 58 olds that looked a lot like that. It had the 4 speed automatic with the tri power carbs. For an old boat, it was pretty damn quick!
