    I remember seeing the sunbeam, looked very tidy. It was a fun day out down there. I think he is down your way, havn't actually been there yet as the car went on a trailer.

        Here is Moselys postcode SA19 6UH. It's a bit of a drive but lovely roads on the way up. he does o load of classic fords, I would highly recommend, done a great job. I think he is "dynoman" on here.

          Vince Mosley is the guy to set up an escort engine, gets my vote Luke

            Called in to see how the escort was looking today, it's all stripped down ready for the work to commence, and what started as a small job is quickly turning into something bigger with the extra bits I'm fancying having done. It does require some patches, mainly the wing tops but overall the shell is good. Here are a few pics

                                Having seen some of his work , you've taken it to the right place Luke. Alwyn does a cracking job, and properly.
