Stanford Hall Auto Italia

nice pics 

I passed my driving test in '79, in a '78 2 door escort that, thinking about it, was very similar if not exactly the same colour as your sport . Now I know why I like the colour so much.

The escort sounded like a nicely tuned monster. Didn't get a chance to have a look under the bonnet.

I suspect some twin carbs as you could here the growl as it drove through.

  have you been lowering the sport bobby

Thanks for the pic Jay.  

Where did you find that?

Not lowererd anymore since recommision, but it seems to of settled down a bit since I first changed the spring's and shocks. The spring's are not standard. Think they are Koni spring's as the car I took them off had koni sports all round from the early 80's. Originally had cut spring's cable tied to the rear axle.

Handles really well at the moment and not overally crashy at all. Spax rear adjustables are well recommended. Well worth the money i'd say.

Will have to see what the koni's are like sometime.

Had some good fun coming out of Stanford hall through the country lane!
