“Some 2.5 inch lowering blocks were added to
the rear at this point, and that’s how the car sits
today. I couldn’t be happier with it. I worked my
butt off on the nightshifts to be able to afford all
the bits I wanted on this car, but seeing it like
this makes all the hours and aggro worth it.”

Perfect finish
It’s been a bumpy road to get to this point, and
what may have seemed on the face of it to be an
easy spruce-up morphed into an incredibly
in-depth process.
What Connor’s ended up with is a beautifully
finished, thoroughly usable 105E; quick and
agile enough to be very entertaining, with a
flawless show-car finish. It’s not easy looking
this carefree, you know.

Reverse pedal box needed to move the master cylinders
out of the way of the Weber carbs in the engine bay.

The 1700 Crossflow is built to a classic
spec, with 45 DCOEs providing the fuelling.

A sunny day, a sorted Anglia and
some country roads to play on
— what could be better?
