The early cars 'Pre Airflow' came with alloy doors and bonnet, along with A-frame rear suspension. They then lost the A-frame and the panels became an option. I'm not sure if all this happened at the 'Airflow' point or gradually...Talking to a mate of mine who is into Mk1 'Tinas he seems to think no one knows but plenty think they do

I would be happy with a Mk2/3 3.0 S Capri with a Cleveland in it (Alloy block Chev would be more suitable but would like to keep it Ford). XR4i with Cossie running gear std height. In Custom Car years ago there was a E93 Pop with a slight roof chop fitted with a Pinto and Escort running gear, I'd like the same with a Zetec. Corsair with a Zetec would be good and that leads me onto....

.......a bit of Aussie muscle ? I like a lot of the old Falcons some look better than others due to watching lots of old Bathurst videos they all look much better in race livery though or Mad Max spec..

And as I'm entering the world of fantasy a GT40 as good looking as the Ferrari's it beat after a bit of work.

[kiwi rs]

I'd have my mk5 cortina s back or my xr4i.
