Anyone can restore a classic, it takes a real man to cut one up.

Is that Trevor's old one. If so I have had a passenger ride at SCR running 11.22. Mrs D also had a passenger ride at 11.23, told her to lose weight if she wanted to catch me. (Surgeons tell me the scarring will soon heal and I should suffer no long term physical effects!!!)

I think you'll find that SurreyMustang and Trevor are one and the same... It'll be good to see the car out again.

Looks great Trevor, Whats the new spec and when are you out in it ?
You do'nt have to tell if it's a secret :-)

where u based?

[SurreyMustang]

Registered office is in Godalming, Surrey. Workshops are close to the Meon Hut crossroads in Hampshire.

I love this car, despite not being a big ford fan. Oner question I've often wondered is about the blower scoop. Is it not restrictive? Seems there's a very small area for a filter (assuming you run filters) that could strangle a motor that I'd guess is pulling 1000cfm?

[SurreyMustang]

No filters. I just rely on the rotors of the blower to crush the bugs before setting light to them!
