Thats a helluva long way for me to BAT. Especially since I don't OWN A T to bring and Uhaul would probably not appreciate me B their T to England. TASTY find though.

That is sweet. I like the sound, the color, the flares.
The grille reminds me a bit of an early Civic grille.

I learned to drive in one of those in '74.
Same colour.
I hated the thing after I lost a drag race with a Peugeot 404 :D

...sounds better than a twin-cam! And reinforces my desire for a hot X-flow powered Cortina.
