It was red when it came in from the states, I recognised it straight away as I still had the Hot Rod magazine article on it. Think it was Steve Neimantis that brought it in and Donny with the Warpig owned it last I knew.

Thanks for putting the pics up - the White 68 Camaro is mega
Also the French connection mustang lives a few miles down the road from me and still looks pretty much identical , I always thought it was a Mach 1 until I saw it again a few years ago and realised it was a Boss 351 !

The highrise m2 van was Malt N Barley blues started life as a Zephyr which was in a pack of Trump cards. Loved it and Ford Fever there's a theme here.

Wow, that green TA is something, that would only be 9 years old. I'd love to know where that is now, its not on the DVLA checker thingy.

I believe that's the car Tony Jarvis has had stashed away since the '80s. He stuck it down a ditch, got all the parts to repair it but I don't think he's got round to it yet, or the '68 Roadrunner he was going to un pro street.....

Heres one for ya, the first cars to turn up at the first Chelsea cruise, all had Custom paint by Mechspray. The Pop was Duncan Purcell's first car, built many since and still doing it.

If it is that would make perfect sense, although it is on an N reg now and has been since I remember. I have also seen it in hibernation, as Shovel Head Rob took me to meet Tony in 2013/4 so I could measure a genuine TA hood before I cut a hole in my steel one to fit my scoop. He had lots of lovely stuff at his place, but the T/A is the king for me.
