I am reminded.
Brian, a somewhat eccentric Yorkshireman, work colleague, and friend at a college in a London Borough had a similar picture at his desk. People used to ask, 'wow, is that your car Brian'; to which he would reply,' no it just gives me the opportunity to say that even Jupiter is culturally closer to Yorkshire than this 'sh****le.
He had previously owned a Javelin though before he had a thing for the XJ12.
Oh nice, Anglia 123E. I liked those - the 'fastback rotbox'. Nice wheels too, look like Minilites - I always liked those too.Apparently he competes in this one.

If it wasn't it should have been.Didn't they have a slogan "Yorkshire's
finest sportscar"?
That was the motor of my day, had a few of those 1500cc in the first 3 litre v6 in the last one i had.Oh nice, Anglia 123E. I liked those - the 'fastback rotbox'. Nice wheels too, look like Minilites - I always liked those too.
I can’t be certain, but I think this might belong to a friend of my father.From my files

1976, Melvin, afriend of ours brought an ex rally car, Anglia, bored out to1800, full roll cage, the works and ran it as his daily runner. It was insane compared to most other cars of the time.Apparently he competes in this one.
