    What is it? Paint it black and put KGB lettering on it.
     
  20. English Ford, I believe, circa late 50s. Was one in one of the junkyards here years ago, I should have saved.
     
  21. I think it's an early 60's Anglia.
    First thing is to start designing wheelie bars...you're gunna need them.
    It should be fun on an 1/8th mile track...1/4 mile, not so much.
    Nice that it came with some plants to add to your garden.

    Looks like he when out on a limb when they put in the power plant!
     
  25. It's a late 50's or early 60's Ford Anglia or Popular as they were called in Europe.
    It was a very popular car in Europe when new.
    They fourdoor version was indeed called Prefect.
