Thanks for the add guys, Born in Greasby and migrated to Canada in Mar'78, Just picked up a 1960 Escort, looking forward to digging in to it!
Cheers
Richard
 
welcome - great car and somewhat unusual especially on this side of the pond - love to see pics!

OK that's unexpected - I was thinking you had the sedan. Not as sporty but, waaay cooler to my eyes. Is it complete? and does it run?
 
Yes it runs and complete, has passed the dreaded out of province/country inspection. Going to do a very slow restoration/upgrades!
 
Thank you very much.... is it me or has Google lost the plot in the last year, it all seems to be sponsored garbage that you now have to navigate through?
 
More pics ... day#2

Welcome to BCF, Richard! That's quite a cool little car you have! Thanks for the pictures.
 
Just saw the pics on the British Saloon Club website - good resource!

Is it a side draft engine? (I presume so) in which case an HS2 SU should work - and be easier to find.

OTOH Kip Motors seem to be able to rebuild carbs
