My dad paid £30 for my 54 Ford Prefect, in 1966. 1172cc flathead 4 making 36 BHP, 3 speed with no synchro on first, vacuum wipers.
Drove it to university. Surface ground head to raise compression. Repaired rocker panels with glass fibre, then painted them with orange emulsion paint left over from decorating sisters room : it creates a sort of bubbly finish , and I thought that together with the light blue bodywork it recreated the Gulf Ford colourscheme. Sold it for £60 6 months later and bought a Ford 105E Anglia which was a revelation in comparison.
