1959 Ford Popular 100e 2litre Fast Road/Hillclimb/Track For Sale

Welcome to my advert for my 1959 Ford Popular 100e deluxe. The car is highly modified and has been built to compete in Hillclimb events and for track days but is also at home as a fast road car. It has an MSUK logbook to compete in Speed/ Hillcimb Events in Sports LIbre over 1800cc class but could easily compete in as a rally car with minor modifications.
I have owned the car for nearly a year where the following work has been carried out, predominantly by Rally Prep Ltd who specialise in competition vehicle preparation. I have receipts for many ££££s.
It is fully road legal, tax exempt and has an MOT until July next year. Private plate is included in sale and has an estimated value of £1200.
This is a very regretful sale as the car owes me a lot of money but my young family busy job and lack of time to really enjoy it means it has to go.
Please feel free to message or call to discuss any questions you may have or to arrange viewing or test drive. Car is based in Truro, Cornwall.
