your first car

Was it from Ford or was it sprayed by another party?

He owned the car (D811STM, listed as ‘grey’ on the government website) from new and I certainly don’t remember him having it repainted. On Ebay, there is currently one of the same colour for sale plus a black one and a red one (at £38k!), and there are some other red ones on Pistonheads. Seems unlikely that they’ve all been resprayed!

A D reg would’ve been the newer shape that came in a variety of colours.

I’m referring to the original RS which is what I had and which is what the ex-Princess Diana car is.

Ah, that would explain it!

Looks like a Morris Minor on steroids.

1972 MG Midget, the rustiest thing ever. Even made my dads Alfasud look good on that front.

They were right, she hated it.

Hi Ford Anglia 105E

Lowered the car all-round and stuck 5.5 J wheels all round / Dunlop SP68 tyres.

Installed a 1500cc engine / Weber twin choke carb / 1600E gear box ( car was fast for 1970s ) but no idea what the top end was !
