You sure did Tony.
I have no pictures of the F27 as it is now but here are a couple of photos of how it looked before the last owner stripped her down.
I bought it as a rolling chassis minus the alloys.
In addition to the chassis I also had the Screen, nosecone, roll bar, front & rear wings + a few other components.
Also managed to purchase the original full set of wet weather gear ( As shown in photos )
Was a factory built chassis, most of the running gear was either new or as new.
SVA'd in 2003 & correctly road registered, in fact still has current MOT.
Based on Cortina mk3 donor parts, she has a live rear axle so not exactly space age technology but I am sure that it will be more than capable of providing me with some fun.
At the moment I am looking at fitting my Vauxhall Redtop engine & Omega gearbox in to provide a decent amount of power.
That said, I would dearly like to see another V8 engine installed, if I find v8 engine & manual gearbox combo at the right price I may very well change tack.
the good news is, I still have my Roadster & am now in the mindset of seeing the buid to the end.
Should be a lot easier for me as I will not have to prepare the Roadster for IVA until I am good & ready.
I now view the Roadster as a longer term project to be completed as & when.
