Just amazing - very jealous.

And chuckled at the sight of the Fiesta too!

Fantastic stuff.

It's funny, but what today would be considered utter bodgery was quite routine the 1960s. Glassfibre matting & a surform file could make anything.

The Jaguar triple-carb backfire was quite infamous. Stochiometric wasn't a commonly-used word; simply flood the bugger with fuel & hope for the best. And we think Renaults are inflammable today...
