Pictures of decently Modified cars [Vol. 2]

But... but... a '64 would have been a Series 1 which had the glorious 6-cylinder, plentiful, especially now with so many E-Type specialists.

Nah, let's chuck in some crate Ford.

SBF = $ not a lot

Jag 6 pot = $ a shed-load more (one might imagine)

I'm torn over that DS... I love them, and the idea of a big engine in it appeals, but those wheels just ruin it for me...

I think the DS is one car that is ripe for an electric conversion.

1. They are all about wafting
2. It is not a great engine in the original car
3. It looked futuristic at the time (and still does to a certain extent)
4. There are lots of them

If I were to have one car (made reliable, restored and all that), I'd have a DS in a heartbeat. If it was electric (and I could charge it easily), I'd definetly have one.

I'd argue this above - I'd have a DS over almost any supercar. That said, if you were to offer me a choice over a DS or a Delta Integrale, I think my head might explode

I'd have a Citroën DS Décapotable in my lottery garage:

Love this. Would need to do something with the interior.

That is awesome.

As mentioned above the B-reg is a bit of an odd-ball, registered as a 'Ford Escort' in 2002... but it sounds like its essentially an 5200

Be interested to see what / if it actually sells for here, thats got to be the best way to own a classic Ford Escort - the MOT history is exemplary too (no worries about rust either!)

PS frontline have a similar one with v posh accoutrements, but im sure i have posted that at least twice here

The idea of driving fast in a frogeye and having an accident is scary, add a tuned lowered without a roll cage no thanks. Nicely nodded, would go for a proper paint job if it was mine.

The K20’d e-type they’ve got will upset a few people too.

Bah! different strokes etc
If you go to muttleys FB page plenty of people (like me) love it, rat look can be good on the right motor

Question: Are side exiting exhausts legal in the UK?

I think they are fine, as long as they arn't hanging out side of the wheelbase / footprint (ie: Caterham / Westfield / Cobra)

I had one on a Sierra Cosworth - I believe the rules were that the exhaust doesn't protrude outside the "footprint" (as above) and had to be behind the "centre" of the car. It got checked a couple of times but that was always the least of my problems with the Police during those times

How about a 3.8 XK engine in a sprite?

Buy that and the e-type with the ford v8, then put the XK back in the e-type and the v8 in the frogeye.

The Mercedes SLR has got side-pipes just behind the front wheels...
