Yeah, even mint they were a fantastic engine in a body that had all some of the elegance of a Mk. 5 Cortina. ;D

Mind you, the engine looks in a mess too. Wouldn't surprise me if some alloy parts had rotted through, and you know every nut and bolt will be siezed.

Engine looks huge too :o What's the V angle? 120 degrees? ;)

Maza's had a gold Cartier clock fitted. It appears a PO has removed safe in the knowledge that the car will never get road worthy and he'll have to give it back
