Welcome, nice car!

Do you own the service station - that would be handy!

While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

Welcome to the forums.

Definitely a neat & clean car you've got!

I think you'll be able to find pretty much everything on these forums, and if there's no info about it on here then it more than likely can't be done!
