Hi Mitch that Mk1 Ford Granada Perana was built in South Africa. By Basil Green Motors a Ford Dealer located in Edenvale, Johannesburg. He was a successful engine tuner and racer of Ford Vehicles, and also produced the famous V8 Ford Capri Perana. He also did conversions on Cortina's Escort's & the Ford Sapphire.

Mitch… easy to differentiate MK4 & MK5… the MK5 (officially Cortina 80), has the ridged taillights & wraparound front indicators

That MklV Cortina 5:10 was in concours condition. Love that V8 Granada, mint. I’ve seen a V8 Capri for sale on Classic Cars website. Love a Capri, a proper one, not the new piece of $hit that’s on offer. Love your videos Mitch 👌🏻 ❤

That grey mini has a Honda civic. 1.4 engine his son or grandson has a mini Moke. Recently met the owner at another car show, he was so modest and would show and tell you what he had done to the car top bloke. Lovely car in the flesh video doesn’t do it justice.

Hi Mitch another fantastic video getting too classic car shows in one day is amazing really enjoyed watching them can't wait for next one
@georgemorrison66892 ай бұрын
You lucky having so many shows near to you the first show some really lovely cars not sure about the black bonnet and wings on the Capri 185hp not sure about that sounds like its been on a wheel dyno and they have told him porkies, the MK2 Lotus Cortina in red looked great prefer white with the green stripe but nice and the RS2000 MK1 looked total mint, the other show my car the gold MK2 1600E just needed a roof aerial to set it off but a beautiful car, any way thanks Mitch for all your efforts much appreciated mate

the 100e and anglia are 2 different cars, anglia was harry potter's ride the later minis had to have a front mounted radiator to get though "drive-by-noise" regulations, it used the rad to soak up the noise from the gearbox... [and it got rid of the screaming fan as well]

Sorry I didn’t look around the Mk3 more but I did explain how it was great to see one and gave it a honourable mention! I was talking about brushing over the Tesla sitting next to it…!!!
