"The interior is original and good condition. I
had to buy a NOS steering wheel off eBay because the old one wasn't
there. It
had a Japanese steering wheel in its place, talk about sad -- it
had to go. The air cleaner was gone but I got one off eBay. The engine
is a 361
golden
commando, numbers matching, original bore size. A lot of the chrome
has pitting which I have found replacements for. Eventually I will
slowly restore this car, but at the moment I am having too much fun
driving to pull it off the road. It is a pleasure to drive and the
looks it gets driving down the road from people is a lot of fun.
As far as I know there are 4 Sport Furys in NZ. I have always been
into cars
of the 50s, the best car designs ever; there is nothing like the
finned era. I like going to swap meets, classic car and hot rods
shows."
An interesting side note -- Peter works
for a
company which builds fiberglass ambulance bodies fitted to a Mercedes
316 chassis.
