That car A is bloody filthy. One of the nicest mk1s I've seen.

Still voted for car E though! I think the rat rod is a really cool car, really original idea and the period luggage on the roof rack is awesome.

Good Luck!!

Hehe.. I thought that would happen. I personally love the Zeph. He turned it into a coupe for god's sake. That's freakin awesome enough and he has also slotted 8 cylinders of the best in that big hole at the front. Crikey.

Anyway thanks for voting for my car even though Car A attracted your attention.

thanks so much to all you guys. We will wait and see now when they announce the winner. Actually there is still time to vote, since the UK is behind us we probably have up until midday tomorrow to send votes through if anyone else wants too. [:p]

I called the Editor and said that if the Rat didn't win we would systematically destroy all English sporting teams when they visited our shores.
He said I sounded pretty tough for a guy half way around the world.

Seriously, the Rat is a very unique car that more than deserved it's places in the hallowed pages of CF. Interestingly the Rat's look is very different to the other 11 cars....making the chances of a high finish/win pretty good.

Well done B and hope to see the Rat on the road some time this summer.

Cheers,

RJ

P.S. - Anyone else in Aust got a similar styled beast? Let me know[;^)]

That Estate is my favourite Mk1 Corty in Australia. I dream of one day owning an Estate. I remember seeing photo's of that thing the first time it rolled into a show and I flipped out. At that point I don't think it had the bonnet scallops and that is the only thing I'm not sure if I like about it, but super cool car in my opinion.

Love It ! Love It! Love It!

Old topic resurrection.

Just for the fun of an update on this car......

I sold it! It was a sad sad day too. I had the car over 15 years and sold it about 1 month ago.

The good news is that the new owner intends to completely restore the car. I saw the car 4 days after he took posession of it and the boot and bonnet were already off and stripped ready for primer and the roof also had been prepared. I'm tipping by now the car is a fair way along.

So for me it was bitter sweet as it was sad to see the first car i ever bought driven off by a stranger, however I never would have got around to fixing it up the way it deserved.

Now it's onto bigger and better things for me.

Time to own something with a big block
