Hmmm going to get lost in history again. Wonder if that would be the same collector that bought LP's ex GT for a 100K+ after it had been restored. I've heard Henrys Perana was also sold again minus the BDA and some parts went missing along the way. Grates me to see my friends years of parts collecti...

Warren maybe we can do a package deal if someone's interested.

1100cc also had 4.1 diff - the BW diff's are made of chocolate so don't put to much HP through there.

Welcome to AFM. Well what a find, how did the SA car end up in UK ? Mk2 escorts where manufactured in Port Elizabeth Ford plant. Production ended in 1981. Diffs where BorgWarner units - not sure if they where locally made or imported from Australia. U might find your car has the extra front strut su...

Where does he run his business from ?
