My MOT man was asking if anyone knew the whereabouts of his old Challenger OHP 545M. He owned it in the late 70's I think.

thanks

Thanks for that, so it has been untaxed for approx 27 years. That either does not look good (as you say) or it is going through a fabulous restoration !

stranger things have happened, could be stored in barn waiting to become a find.

quite a topic on this car on rods n sods ended up having 4 wheel drive conversion by ferguson some time in the 80,s?? heres a couple of pics

Thanks for that Jim, I will find out some information about the car and post on here. He used to deal in Yanks, Jensens etc as well as a bit of saloon car racing

cheers

The previous owner is an MMA member I beleive, but doesnt frequent here very often.

The letter about the car from the previuos owner was published in Connecetd a few years ago, along with my bits on the 4 wheel drive Fury police car with the Ferguson 4 wheel drive.
