Sunshine Classics 1990 - South Woodham Ferrers

[MattH]

After a conversation with Paul Jones, I have dug out my photos of the day I visited Sunshine Classics to look at Challengers, 3 years before buying my own one. This was in South Woodham Ferrers, Essex
The 2 1970 Cudas were, from memory, a Hemi and a 440+6 which may have been circuit raced by Tony Lanfranchi in the UK. The engines had been swapped between them in their racing career and I think they were being put back to their original places, i.e. matching numbers. Thats the story I remember being told when I visited 35 years ago.

The Challengers were for sale, £4,500 or thereabouts. I'm sure someone will have the old advert somewhere in a Custom Car magazine or similar.
They were imported by Sunshine Classics and registered with Essex plates (-HJ).
The yellow one I cannot remember anything about it.
The sublime 70 RT EHJ119H was I think in Ireland last I knew.
The orange 71 RT Challenger BHJ113J was my favourite, with stripes and Go-Wing. Last I saw it, may years ago at Santa Pod, it was looking quite sorry for itself having had some paint over the stripes.
There was also a red 74 with a 440 that I took out for a test drive, no photos unfortunately, it had lots of stickers on it and a vinyl roof I think.

I guess the 67 RT Coronet behind the Sublime Chally is the one that Paul Jones used to own.
Lovely looking car that one.
