I got 110%, getting #8 correct, that they didn’t.
Front Grille? I wouldn’t have noticed that.
So, that is an Austin Super Se7en ?
but did you get them before they put the options up
Yep, I did.
Ironically I wouldn’t call any of them classic cars.Not even one 6 + cylinder model among them.Even Ford Zodiacs and Vauxhall Crestas.
Altough the Essex V6 did get put in a some Corsairs and a lot of MK2 Cortinas by more demanding owners making them aftermarket classics.
Would happily send the poverty 4 cylinder junk in the video to the crusher in the day or now.Obviously not strong enough for banger racing like too many, more deserving of the title, types, sadly were.
These are classics.
Opinions are like àrseholes, everyone’s got one. We know how reliable your opinion is, from the pile of rust that you cant fix.

We also know what your opinion is.You would have traded each of those in succession, both back in the day and now, for a MK1 Cortina, Hillman Hunter, Vauxhall Viva and last but not least an Austin 1100 with some extra cash the dealer’s way.
You should stick to sheep shearing not car dealing mate.

Sorry to shatter your illusions Carryfast, but I’ve never run sheep, carted sheep or sheared sheep; I have eaten lamb, if that counts for anything. I’ve never owned any of the cars listed in the OP, or ones you posted.
You being smarter than average obviously didn’t. What you got in your garage appreciating faster than Bitcoin on speed? A brace of Sierra Cossies perhaps? (£400k each at auction) or maybe a nice MK1 XR3? Do tell.
A rusted out old Jaguar that will soon be able to be moved with a stoffer and blik.
You protest too much.
The irony asking if a piece of junk front wheel drive Austin 1100 is a rear wheel drive 6 cylinder Ford Zephyr, or a Vauxhall Cresta bonus points for a 3.3 litre PB.
I bet you needed to give that question a lot of thought before just guessing it right.
I am? Pray, tell, about what?
Who asked that? The voices in your head, or just another random letterfest from your alternative world?
What question?
I missed that boat because I couldn’t get my head around the idea that an XR3 could be worth more than an Anglia.
Or a turbocharged 4 cylinder two litre Sierra could be worth more than a Granada fitted with a 302 or 351 V8 let alone an XJ12.
All moot when, like the Jaguar, the local Ford parts counter stores man wouldn’t have even heard of them let alone know the difference, to provide all the parts needed to keep them on the road.
It would also be impossible to insure it because no insurer would believe it’s worth that much.
Maybe that’s why you failed to become an international driver.

Once upon a time I think 50% of drivers missed that boat.!
After the Zeebrugge disaster nearly everyone you met had been booked on the boat but only just missed it. The booking list was longer than one of ______(insert joke here)

Carryfast missed The Herald by two minutes as his pager went off to hot to trot it to the Iranian embassy siege, he was the man in the middle.
It must be true as his photo is on the wall in The Cockleshell Pub in Poole where the SBS lads hang out on downtime.
Triumph Herald?

Anyone could be forgiven for not getting the idea that an XR3 could be a better more valuable car than a 1500 or 1600 powered Anglia.
Let alone a 2.0 Sierra screamer a better bet than a small block V8 powered Granada, or a 6.0 litre 5 speed manual XJ12, or even worth more than a house.
Anyway I might just be able to find you an 1100 for a swap with a 6 cylinder or V8 Holden or a Falcon if you’ll pay for the shipping.
