Hi Phillip,
This is amazing thank you so much for your message! We feel so lucky to have found out the story and life of my Dads car.
It’s such a shame it caught fire, but the pictures are great, it looks like it was extremely well loved which makes us all so happy!
My Dad adored this car and loved working on it. He stripped it to its bones and did a load of work on it himself. His dream was to be a mechanic but then he found out he had Muscular Dystrophy in his early 20’s and that dream was no more. He started a family with my mum shortly after finding out which was his main reason for selling the car, he would have hated for it to sit around and deteriorate as his condition got worse and the time kids took up! He was the most selfless man and always out everyone else first before himself. Sadly last April at the age of 56 he passed away.
I can’t tell you how chuffed we are to see these photos so thank you!
best wishes,
Eleanor
