Very good Stormy go to the head of the class 😆 😆 😆 That was the very first car I ever had when I was 14 I bought one for 30.00 an original stocker had to junk it after my friends pulled a prank on me and I lost my storage. It cost me 15 bucks to have it towed away 🙁

Prefect WAS the Four door version…another “Prefect’ Dover stand out about the same period was ” LaRegina’s “lil Ole Whinemaker”

Hey Dino, having raced an Anglia myself, I’ve got a sweet spot for them ❗ Now when it
comes to a Prefect, I always enjoyed watching this one ❗ 😆

Frank… 😎

Just keep looking! I do, I’ve been looking for the “Cali Bros.” Anglia for years and did find a person that knew where it went when sold the first time, then the trail goes cold. My point is while looking you may find someone else’s car and can pass that info along. I’ll look for any old race car and then post that info. Good Luck. On a side note I walked into a restaurant to pick up my order and a guy at the bar yells out to me “I haven’t seen that shirt in a long time” I had my Dover drag strip shirt on, an we talked a minute. Told him about the website and race, got my food and left.
