Re: SIMPLY FORD FINAL DETAILS

The injection pipes are all moving as if under stress in the short time that it does run. The car has been laid up in a garage since the 90's and it has needed coaxing back to life. Our lo...

It was his dream to see his car running again and on show in the Paddock at Brooklands, all changed when he tragically died of a brain hemorrhage at just 47. At C...
