Never a big Xr3 fan.. the early Cortina and Granada were my favourites. He also had a vauxhall Victor estate. Looked like a whale. But his Wolsey 16/60 ?? Was beautiful, jacked rear end, big fog lamps and a boot rack was all the rage on the late 70's and early 80's... Leather and real wood....
3.0 Granada there's a gangsta set of wheels.I remember my dad's Viva's a two door and a four door... His best car was the Granada 3.0 V6 auto. It was an Xr3 killer..
It was, he said an ex police car.. dark brown velour interior..... Man it shifted when pushed... Was it the Essex or Colone engine with the carb?? I was only about 10....
It be tharrrt one! I remember the flying saucer air filter under the bonnet. I loved that car, he'd followed a van onto a dual carriageway crossing. The van slammed on and he slammed into it!!! Bent the chassis and ruined the car.. I remember seeing it in the garage carpark.. I was in tears...
Yeah...sorry about the creep in the back seat.Cool vid myfirst!!
Some of the later granny's and Capri's? I had a mate who fitted a 1.6 gearbox onto a 2.0 capri, wheel spin magic!! But no top speed..
or was it the back axle I don't remember
Indeed, but very tail happy!!
