    Classic UK Fords

    Despite myself, I've become more interested lately in the classic British Fords. Specifically, I'm interested in the Anglias, as well as all Cortinas through the MK.III (esp. Twin Cams), Escorts through 1980 (esp. the Twin Cam models), Fiestas through 1983, and the early Capri models. Anyone know a good place where I can find more info on these?

    Ive got an edition of Ford Performance Mag and in the NZ section, theyve got a bit of a write up on this Capri with the 2.6L V6, apparently there was only 2 or something made...it had some racing heritage but i cant quite remember it now. The owner of this particular one had bored the engine out to 2995cc so it was making about 330-350hp, so it went like a bullet in the ~950kg body
