Ford Sidevalve Special
This is my fathers car, it required a bit of TLC and an MOT. Yes, that is a Willment over head valve conversion; I bet that gets you older gents drooling into your pints of Best Bitter!
A brief specification is as follows:
Bespoke chassis and bodywork, modelled on a Lotus 6.
1956 Ford Pop 1172 engine with 3 speed box. 1958 Wolsley 1500 front suspension, steering, torsion bars and uprights. Originally fitted with Wolseley steel wheels, but now fitted with Sprite knock on wire wheels. We have fitted lights and mudguards so it can be MOT'd, even though technically it does not need one anymore.
