Guest sexychevette Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Your cars pretty choice man i recommend a good dose of matt blacking washed down with a nice, warm red vinal interior. And also Red wall tyres The other day i was rumaging in my shed and found a book about this here car. Its called 'The Gregg Book of the FORD "PREFECT"(10h.p.)' by Ellison Hawks, publised in '48 reprinted in '52. Its a full on owners/service manuel, 140 pages long. It deals with maintainence etc and even teaches you how to drive it If you have any Chevette or other Vauxhall parafanalia i will swap it for said book. Otherwise i'll just give it to you. That is if you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I aint got no Vauxhall or Chevette books though bro it is a cool beast,is it gona be running stock engine? blank or white with red vinyl seats Stock engine yes, cause it retains it's originality and the things runs mint at the moment now anyways. haha good to see some of these things still around... i had a 49 prefect for a little while. if i remember rite it said 8 or 10hp on the chassis plate scaryest suspension i've ever seen in my life so i got rid of it... (there well knowen for rolling... ask any old guy) Yep, they're known for it because they have 2 springs. They're sprung with leafs across the car. As in one set for the front, one set for the back. Notoriously unstable. Oh yeah Fully dig that VW!
