Satsuma on Four Wheels

[John 2]

Came across a small vintage car show on the Isle of Man with this on display. A 1950s Ford Prefect originally (I think?) although I doubt that the colour scheme was in the original Ford brochure. Not so much a restoration as a re invention.

Beautiful car.
Judging by the gauges on the hood I'd guess it's set up for racing.

A very nice shot, he has been Tango'd...

Judging from the side hood vent it's a '49-53 Ford Anglia. Of course the Popular was the "upscale" version of the Anglia.

Nice shot.

After looking the model up I do think this could be a Popular. That custom grill was throwing me off.

Interesting customisations, are those MGB wheels?

Thanks for the comments all.

Hugely popular in '60s N. American drag racing. Usually stuffed with big injected/supercharged V8s.

Get the picture?
