I only have one ride. Sold the Anglia to Got_an_Anglia. I realized one ride for me is enough.
It is a 1950 Thames E83W 1/2 ton pick up. Only about 200 were imported to North America between 1950 and 1953. It was purchased new in Victoria in 1950 and I got it in 2003.
A few things it has:
cab stretched 7", wheelbase stretched from 90 to 102", Custom box built by me,4.3L chev with all the good parts, 4-71 BDS blower, turbo 400 c/w Gear Vendors under/overdrive, 9" ford, 3.55 gears with a locker. 11" discs all around, 15 x 14 rear and 15 x 4.5 Cragar S/S wheels now. I built the truck 95% by myself in my garage in 17 months and 8 days but who was counting.
Drove it 3000 miles last summer and am planning a trip from Calgary to Spokane and the off to Pleasanton CA and back up the coast hiway this summer as I have always wanted to see it.

As my handle says I have a 49 Chevrolet Sedan - Chopped, frenched headlights, section hood and air ride. This will be my custom ride looking forward to blanking the handles, puttin 49 Merc taillights in the rear, tucked in bumpers,frenched license plate and other mods. More to come.
Also have a 72 Monte Carlo custom frame off resto 2 years ago and the first car I ever owned. Body, paint and resto done by myself and my summer driver.
I also share ownership with my old man on a 51 Ford Meteor that is a conehead car but will be slightly moded at a later date. One day the plans are to lower it, duals and keep the original running gear with the 3 on the tree.

Well here are my prizes
67 Mustang, 390 Auto, drove it 3 days when i bought it.....then took it apart, 18 yrs ago
59 F100, 223 3 spd, great truck, needs rust repair, really should sell it to finish Mustang
52 Plymouth, wife's ride, flathead 230, great riding car, just needs small details.
Daily driver, rides hard but i love it.
Have to add the Boler because it too is a project....blast to own one of these. Always meeting new people when ever we camp. Hoping to have a hitch on the Plymouth. Bought the trailer that color....perfect match to the Ply.
