That looks fantastic, not sure about a Vauxhall engine in a Ford.

Racing a 9 second Vauxhall Viva estate running through with a 10.4

Loads of footage of it in this video of when we travelled over to Malta last year
Ended up winning the 10.5-11.0 bracket class running a 10.6 in the final
In 2008 we won the Open 2 Class which has some seriously quick cars in
Including a 8.5 second cossie mk1 escort and a High 8's Low 9's Cossie Fiesta

Very nice! I do find it amusing that your Mk1 escort is doing roughly the same 1/4 mile time as a Veyron

Ah I thought so!

Nice car, needs a Rover V8 in it and bring back the old days.

I have fond memories of our family friend Steve Green racing your Dad in his 100E, his Pop and then the Rover.

That was a while ago now and I must of only been about 14 or so when your Dad sold the Rover to Murray.
