Nice article in the journal about one of my favorite anglias of the gasser era. The Blairs Speed Shop Anglia. My love of gassers is not only the willys but the little short wheel base anglia. My hats off to Don Lindfors for doing such a magnificent job in restoring the car.
Willys, Anglia, Austin, 55/57 Chevy, 62/67 Chevy Nova, are the Heart of the Gasser World. Love them all, Lets Keep building them, like the ones with history the Best.
@hotroddon - Congrats on the feature! ... Issue #65 TRJ #65 feature on the Blair’s Speed Shop B/Gas Anglia delves into the car’s late-'60s and early-'70s drag racing history as well as its recent restoration by hot rodder Don Lindfors. Blair’s employee Jay Lindsley originally built the Anglia in 1968, campaigning it until “The Last Drag Race” at Lions in 1972 (and recording a best of 142 mph in 9.76 seconds in the process). It was sold, hot rodded, and street raced until Lindfors stumbled on it years later. After discovering the Anglia’s history, Don, who had watched it race as a kid, embarked on a complete restoration to its late-’60s guise. Featured alongside location photography taken at Bakersfield are historic photos of the car under construction and being raced over 4 decades ago.
