I'll bet Dave or someone in the MMA does. The reg no looks familiar to me , but I can't place where from. Probably somebody's old photos

Looks familiar as you say Tony but I can't place it.

The number plate is no clue to me as I can't even remember the numbers on my own cars let alone others. :D

This car was bought by a guy in Scotland last year. He posted pictures of it parked on his drive on this site, but I can't remember his user name. There was a thread on here I'm sure! (Or was it the MMA board ? God I'm getting old)

He had it up for sale a few months later, saying it had to go...

Thought it looked familiar. :roll: :oops:

That book wouldn't be Muscle Cars by Richard Nicholls ISBN 0 86124 234 3 and published by Bison Books Ltd in 1985 and reprinted in 1990 would it?

Never heard of it.

:lol: To know so much of something you never heard of makes me puzzled. :s022: Is there something fishy going on? :s005:

Yup, right on spot!!!! That is the book! (See scan below) I wonder if Kowalski_72 knows that there are two pic´s of his car in that book? I think I will send him a mail. :nod:

Thanks for mailing me Christer! Not been in here for ages,too painfull! Yup,that was my car,I rebuilt the 318 with early heads,and edelbrock manifold,Holley 600,new shells etc,tidied the body a bit,gave the doors quarters and bootlid a lick of paint (was a Mercedes colour)new tyres,brakes,then had to let it go....still hurts.It sold on ebay after 1 bid for £4500.. :worry:
A chap from Nottingham bought it,and is currently doing a full restoration,including new quarters and stuff,can't wait to see it finished.I'm glad in the end it went to someone who is doing it properly.I still have a copy of the book its in.I got some info from the owners son,from the time the car was pictured,and it was brought in from the 'States new by a serviceman.

Here's a pic of it,just before I sold it.
