HISTORY:   

Was built with a 1963 Ford Fairlane engine 3,7 litre (225 cu in) Motor had a Cobra camshaft and two 45DCOE carburetors fitted to a cross over inlet system.  Transmission was a 3 speed with Borg-Warner overdrive and Hurst floor shift conversion through a Taunus P3 rear axle.  The car had a set of 72 spoke Dunlop competition wire wheels.  These wheels were the same type used by Ford for their racing and rallying Zephyrs.  Cooling was with larger than standard radiator and a Ken Lowe thermometric electric fan.  Brakes were front Zephyr MK3 discs and rear drums with vacuum boosting.  Engine output was 164 BPH (kw) at 4,400 RPM and Car Magazine test got 28 mpg.  Sadly the project was shelved in 1964 by Mr. Paddy Goodall who said the car would be a lethal weapon if in the wrong hands.  It is an exclusive and capable car with a strong appeal to the sporting driver.  In 1969 Bob sold the car to someone living in Zeekoevlei who had a serious rear end accident with the car.  The owner repaired it with a hatch back single rear window body style.  The rear spoke wheels were destroyed and dumped and the front wheels are long time gone.  The car traded hands a couple of times.  Bob bought it back about 30 years ago with the original motor, box and diff.  After the accident the car was re-sprayed dark red & black vinyl top.  The car still gets displayed at the occasional motor shows in the Cape Town area and still has the original reg no CA 742.
