Hi Amerikiwi some pics of my rear set up 105 springs straightned with links etc
sorry about scale
Thanks mate, very much appreciated. As part of the build, I'm considering changing mine from LHD to RHD so I'm not sitting directly above the exhaust heat plus with my local tracks being clockwise should have a slight handling advantage. Also will be running on E85 ethanol so that should be fun sorting out!
Re the exhaust, they do get warm sometimes. My little car (post#37) had 2ltr so ran down right side. Not comfortable during hot days, but a real bonus at Taupo winter series and on colder days.
While looking for something else I came across this photo.
Thames Valley Car Club, Quine Rd Hillclimb, 10-Jul-99.
Not sure who the driver is.

some Anglias from other threads including Trevor Eves breadvan before and after built by john Miles later wrecked
Nobody has yet mentioned Dick Butters from Tawa or Terry Huxford driving Anglia's in Wellington, from memory both 1200cc. Both were very handy behind the wheel.
Thanks El Coyote & 45 DCOE awesome 100/105e chev hybrid whats the story with this please

Original built by Alex Wilson in Wellington think 1966 who kindly provided the images. 105E front guards on 100E 2 door body. Have asked Alex to join forum, he has a lot of knowledge of who raced Anglia's in the Wellington area. Hopefully he will elaborate on what the original build was. The fastback on the trailer is I believe Gary Huxford's and there are a few images on this forum racing at Levin of this car. Should close a few holes on the history of this fastback. Alex says Gary shared the car with brother Terry.
Thanks for that Steve, I believe Gary shared with Robin Smith at times but Terry was not half bad himself in his own Anglia. Must have been something in the Huxford watercooler.
Re Alex's car, the original motor was a 265 (Not too bad Mr McKinney)and was then fitted with a 327 during the off season ,but before it was raced they changed the rules so the motor went into a powerboat to contest the Wellington harbour race. It sported a Jag gearbox and diff in a deal with Dannie Lupp.
The first ever run up Palmer Head saw the bonnet part company wth car. Alex was a very competent competitor in this vehicle as he later was in a kart and a hell of a nice guy.
Hey 105 anglia, you're a guy with considerable roaring season skills, how do I copy a photo from one thread to another, there's a picture of Neil Doyle in the breadvan thread that I'd like to put on my thread. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for that, I'll give it a go.
which post would you like brought over Fastback ,
I did it last night as per bry3500's instructions thanks. I'm learning new skills computer wise all the time on this site. I've got quite a few slides I'm cleaning and scanning that may be helpful to some people, I struggle to get them down to the size to fit here, but more practise and I'll get there. Thanks for your help.

Hi I just found this on Flickr can someone identify it and give some history?

About when would be talking, Bry?
Hi David , I was talking to 105Angria on the telephone today about this...Stabbing in the dark a bit here but I think it is a recent replica of the car in post #128, I can't find any reference to it before 2006. Maybe someone else can come forward with some details.
I was just worried that my memory might be worse than I thought it was. I left Wellington in 1985...
Might bring some insight in to racing Anglia specs and performance in there dayAttachment 6530
wow 100hp what publication is this from ,thanks45dcoe
carlo has a pic of his Anglia Van now, he may even post it for you.
With all respect to Fastback would love to see this version recreated. ,what happended to the Sprague car ?

Does anybody know the history of the original orange/white Franvevic Anglia ? Read somewhere if was povided by a " kind benefactor".
Was this the ex Ivan Segedin car ? Think his last Anglia prior to the Custaxie was built from the remains of Jack Nazers flying saucer
Yes, it was the ex-Segedin car and owned, I believe, by Warren Reid (who also raced it)
Not sure who owned the yellow Nazer car at the time RJF was racing it at the end of the 1966 season
Here's a bad photo of it at the "wrong way" Pukekohe meeting
Here are a couple of pics of my LHD Anglia (as found in the woods) in my workshop (still being renovated), as you can see a bit of paint on the floor makes a big difference. The spade leaning on the car is for removing the occasional visiting snakes, I carry them outside and let them go, they are great for keeping the rats and mice under control....
Steve suggested I should start a thread for the build of the Anglia but there probably won't be much activity until the winter as I am trying to kickstart my business here in Virginia again after being out of action for the last couple of years following my accident. So I'll stay on this thread for now.
You might also notice that I changed my username from Amerikiwi to my own name, perhaps some of you will remember me from past years downunder.
And thanks Steve for helping with the name change and resizing the photos!
Russ please try to remember there are gentlemen on this entertainment as well{farted how corse}
What was the symptons that youre cat was showing?
Horsepower,, Bob may correct me but didnt Geofs Anglia read over 150 on the dyno I have the printout some safe place

Yes the ultimate 150 from a one and a half Lt. just a pity the rest of the car coudnt take it ,when he beat Grants Mustang to win the pre 65 at Manfeild the body cried eneough over the diff???
