      Just joined the site. I mainly work on old ford sidevalve engines but have many smaller projects in progress. I am based in manchester and I am lucky enough to have a reasonably large workshop at home which I am slowly equipping with vintage machines.

          Welcome to the forum Danny, I'm an Austin Seven man myself but all old vehicles and their engines are good.

          I'm sure you will find lots to interest and help you on here.

            Hello Danny,

            I was once offered a Ford Corsair in good condition with a spare V4 engine for £300.

            I bought an Opel Manta instead, I'm afraid…

                Welcome Danny. My first car was a 1949 side-valve Ford E493A Prefect coupe utility bought in 1972 for AU$120. These were unique to Australia i believe, with a locally built style-side rear grafted to the front half of a standard saloon body. Was a great little car, but needed more work to keep it going than i was able to commit so I sold it about 20 years ago. Mechanically pretty indestructible, but the timber-framed body was only held together by the paint. Geoff in Brisbane Australia

                  Our Morris Minor 'Woodies' have the same problem, the wood parts are still available but it's a big job!
