Bought as a replacemnt for my first car (an A35) when I was 19 I have done around 95,000 miles in this Oxford over the years. It was standard when bought but was soon lowered and the flames added a while later. It was off the road for three and a half years between 1999 and 2003 getting new sills and various other bits including an 1800 engine from a Marina TC. I never quite finished the bodywork then and after a couple of years further use it came off the road again 18 months ago.

The poor old thing has lain forlornly outside our house for months now with no progress made at all. The last thing I did was to rip all the interior out and take it over to my mums loft for safekeeping. This was in preperation for the new weldathon to commence but that has only just happened. The impetus was deciding to buy a very good engine last week that I have to go up to Bradford to collect but it will be worth it. More details on that to follow. In the mean time I've been out with the ...read more
