I worked at a Ford dealership in Leicester in the late 60's and this is one of the best cars Ford UK ever made.The 1600 E was like a Rolls Royce.The walnut veneer on the dashboard and door tops was sheer quality with metallic paint and rostyle wheels it was a beauty to behold.

It is hard to believe that a man will dry store his car under temperature control, and take it out for 30 years. If he did so he must be a genius to know for sure that he will live 30 years forward.

I agree ,it was welded by a friend back in 1987 Iv put the car back on the road as it is but I did originally intend to fully restore the car 1 day and I think that's what delayed putting this back on the road so iv decided to enjoy as it is after being parked up since Aug 1988
