 Here we have Steve all the way from New Zealand, a nice Mid series PA
Quite nice scenery too.

She is not a standard car, as she has a 2 litre Ford Pinto engine fitted, and a 5-speed box, mated to the standard back-axle. This conversion was done before I bought the car. She was originally two-tone blue, but when I got her she was red and white, and looked sad!! Covered in scratches, etc. She had been laid up in a garage for 4 years.
The wheels, if you're interested, are rostyles from a P5 Rover with standard 185 15 car tyres on them. They JUST fit! However, you require a small spacer on the back to clear the rib on the drum.

Trevor has sent this Pic of his PA whilst on a trip to Belgium, here is a tale from that journey: Whilst on the trip to Belgium we crossed over the boarder into France to visit a town called cassel but it was on top of a hill the road leading up to the town was very steep with a couple of hair pin bends thrown in. Not realising how steep the hill was i approached in top gear losing revs, a quick change into second saved the day until we encounted the bend so down into first when we reached the summet all the locals gave us a round of applause and a few French cheers.

A 62 PA Velox looking spendid, this car has spent time as a wedding car before being purchased by its present owner.
The car did have some restoration and the previous owner sourced front wings from Australia. The car appeared in a local Cardif newspaper when it was used as a wedding car.

Im From South Africa , Town called Paarl in the winelands, no welding, still in original condition
i've had her for about 10 years , but she's been in storage whilst i was working overseas ( ireland). I just spent about R12000 on her 800 quid for a mechanic to overhaul the engine , gear links and brakes. i still drive her every fortnight but with todays petrol price who knows. She needs to be sandblasted on the bottom and treated with rustproofing , the window rubbers needs replacing and the wheels and white top needs respraying.
