Classic New project!

Picked this up couple of months back. '84 Vogue, has been fitted with Perkins but will be changing that for a 3.5 Efi. Body isn't too bad, will need repairs to footwells and rear inner wings. Worst part is rear chassis legs, will have to have a better look when boot floor and tank are out.
Being from Yorkshire the registration is quite appropriate.......'A Lad'
Sorry photos aren't great....think I need a new phone!

Hi, it's a Perkins 4236 turbo. Was fitted in 1991 by the previous owner. Not run for years but some fresh fuel, bled the system and it fired up no problems.

ahh the perkie!!
excellent workhorse engines, nothing beats em

It would be good if another Classic was saved & junking the knocker in favour of the proper V8 even better, though the efi variant wasn't introduced until October '85.

Nice looking motor, have fun.

Yes, would originally had a 3.5 carb engine. Thing is I've got a good 3.5 Efi engine sat around doing nothing so won't cost me anything to swap it and i can then sell the Perkins.

Unless anyone has a carb engine going cheap.....?
