1983 Elford Turbo - Ex Patrick Motor Museum

[chc]

Great idea - I'm in !

very nice/ we should have a elford meet next year, see how many we can get together

The thought did cross my mind but there was nothing for me to hold on to other than the door (as I would have slid down it only to finish up on the floor in a heap - haha) and oh what a sight that would have been

You shall she her in the metal one day for sure as I do intend to get to some events nxt year (at last).

If you notice the car on the trailer, there is very little room either side between the door and the trailer wheels ......... yes you've guessed correctly - there was/is only one route in & out of the car. Well this didn't bode well for a 6' wide oh I mean tall elderly person and if only there had been a digital recorder there at the time - what a picture it would have made and definitely what a laugh watching me struggling in and out of the hatch ...... what a head banging experience that was.

Ok Cliff, you can stop rubbing it in now
Seriously though, that car is just stunning, I hope to see it in the flesh (metal) one day.

Did you not consider the Dukes of Hazzard style exit via the window?

Well 1st job of the day was to change the alloys over with new tyres .........







then I thought perhaps I might clean the engine compartment but when I opened the bonnet this is what I found ... so I thought I wouldn't bother just yet






Think I'll send it for a check up first

Question guys - I thought the fan was supposed to have been changed to orange when the Elford conversion was done

I might park at the gate of the field where you meet and peep in!…..

Question guys - I thought the fan was supposed to have been changed to orange when the Elford conversion was done

no, fan and engine was stock for the Elford. The only rotary with the orange fan was the factory 12at as far as I know.... I had a 12at fan and used it on my black s3 when I converted it to an Elford which was why it had the orange fan. I only used it because it was the only good viscous fan I had.

Surely the only good viscous fan is dead, lol?
