Does anyone have a copy of the early 70's Fast Car (could have been Auto Enthusiast ) magazine which featured Dennis Leech's Boss 429 Mustang? Been on the look out for this for a few years but with no joy....?

I went to the 'Special saloon' day at Mallory in August last year. Have there been many other meetings since? I heard they will do more depending on entrances. Any likely in the future?

Speaking of Anglias does anyone remember a guy called Graham Ford ? He drove a red Anglia in mod saloons in the '80s. He lives in my parents road where the Anglia still lives in his garage unused in about 20 years.

Are you sure that the name is Graham Ford?? Graham Wood lives northfleet /swanscombe area, Has had a spaceframe red anglia for a very long while. Is this the man? Used to /may still have a white modded road anglia,also +2 Elan if I remember correctly. Worked at Ford main dealers Northfleet /Swanscombe area at one point (may still be there)>

Quick resurrect for something significant.

I am not going to post a link but the 'Mega Bertha' project, or part of it, is currently on ebay!

The images show body moulds etc but I am guessing there is no chassis or engine!

Still judging by the amount of bids, clearly there is a will to bring it to life?
