Just found these - scanning through old slide transfers...

My 1967 Victor 101 FC. A little surface rust as you can see! Roof and boot were quite clean - the rest was very flat.
Ford Transit carburettor, dynamo changed to an alternator.
The rest of it was mostly stock - shame I had nowhere to store it at the time it to sort it out.
It went to a demolition derby 'race' for £30.

A biggish car back in the day. Sadly, like most other cars of that era, they succumbed to rust earlier than they should have done. I recall the aerial on my Cortina falling through the wing.    Wheel Arch liners weren’t a thing back then so all of the water and dirt got trapped in the corners.

Yep.

Although by the standards of 2026 it is positively small.

I had an uncle who owned a 1965 C reg 101, and it always seemed large.

Be it cars or people there are far more 'fat bastards' around today when compared to the swinging sixties.
