Hello everybody

I've just joined up, along with my other 'arf, QueenBee. I'll let her tell you all about our English 32 Fordor, which, we've been told, is the oldest right-hand ddrive one surviving. It was made in March 1932 at the Dagenham plant and had an engine swap in 2000: it now has a 'big four'. It passed its annual MoT test on Thursday and after almost three years in storage is back on the road - hurrah!

Cheers Guys!

I hope to take the B to Good Friday's Wheels Day as it ahsn't been there for a good few years: be interesting to see what the reaction will be. In the meantime I'll have to set to with the interior, which is well-worn to say the least!

Yeah make sure you bring it out for wheels day richydab, I'm hoping to get my new 40 ford pickup in time. It's yet to be finished and I still have to fly to Edinburgh then drive it back to Portsmouth, tee hee!!

Got any pics of the 32?

Anyway welcome aboard dude!

Another UK four-banger powered A, eh? Flathead, per chance?
Be good to see it at the drags this year for the Four-banger meltdown, email me if you're interested.

Welcome along, by the way.

Indeed it is a four-banger and was at the Hot Rod drags in 2000, from my recollection!
