I still have a hankering for a Triumph Stag,plenty of 70s cheese with a V8 soundtrack.Or I dare say a early Mustang would fit the garage. Hotrod ? Their dimensions might work too. Nice Pop with Woolfies and a chrome Jag IRS

Ive dont the Stag thing, love that V8 cant believe its only a 3ltr

This is a great car, except for the size. Didnt you stretch your garage once before?

I must admit it does tick lots of boxes !!
Yes I did widen the garage, but this is my house and as you can see its the entrance that the prolem.
The yellow lines are the new conservatory .

convert something to RHD?

Alan Mann used RHD Mustangs in the 60's with I think Granada steering boxes.


there were two RHD Mustangs at the Revival last year.

How about a South African V8 Capri? Should be about the same size as the cortina.

Think they can be a bit expensive though!

[Bozwell]

don't forget they also did a 5.0 Sierra XR8 and a Granada V8. Big money now though.

Most UK aussie chargers were 318 v8 one was 340 v8 and you could get them with a 360

many Aussie, Aussie chargers were 265 I6 becasue that was the motor used on the race track in saloon car racing, so that's what the punters wanted

standard 265 gave mush the same performance as the 318 but went round corners better.

aussie charger in australia kinda occupied the same place in peoples hearts as the capri and cortina here

aussie charger is a big car (US compact ha ) but its 6 inches to a foot or so shorter than every other mopar made

it is however a little bit wider at the rear than a us A body

fits a standard 70s garage Just.

You need an aussie charger....
(barracuda is narrower but longer and so is Dart)
They pop up here from time to time
or ask on Aussie Car owners UK on facebook a number of them have passed through the hands of the guy who admins it called Andy harris he used to be on here but was a little disruptive from time to time
charger XL charger RT will be 265 6 cylinder charger 770 (i.e most cars in the UK) will be Luxury spec/GT spec 318 engined cars designed to compete in a niche market occupied by jensen at one end and reliant scimitar at the other i.e odd shaped cars with big motors that cost too much and used too much petrol in the oil crisis of the early 70s
