Yes, wasn't that featured in Practical not so long ago? Fascinating car and very nicely painted by the looks of it.Penguin45 wrote:Possibly the "Saxon" recreation?
P45.
I'm liking the new GT project though, gotta love a Cortina! I wonder, if you leave a Datsun Figaro and a T-bird alone together for an evening of love and romance, would their offspring look like that?

Been collecting a few bits together over the past year including
bonnet/bootlid/wings/sils/rear arches ect ect

Yay! Lovely stuff.
Get on with it - we've got a long cold winter to get through.
