TDL760J - 3000GT - Reborn from a 1300XL
Graeme, from the Isle of Wight, has owned this Mk1 since May 2002. He's only the vehicle's second owner but quickly decided to change it from the original 1300XL spec. into a 3000GT car. He performed all the necessary modifications including bodywork strengthening and fitment of an early Atlas axle - of 3.22 ratio - along with the inclusion of 2.8 Bilstein front struts and vented discs. When it came to re-spraying the body he decided to stick with the original - an somewhat rare - garnet shade. Graeme took the car on the Ardennes Mountain Trail Tour organised by Classic Ford magazine in May 2003 and the magazine did a lengthy feature on his pride and joy in their November 2006 issue.
