Nice project will make a nice car.

Anyone know of any other surviving 2.4 special editions from Power engineering out there?

Think they told Chris made about 300. Fair play to the guys they are digging all the history they can find on car over next few days.

A related piece of cossie history ready to be returned to it's former glory. Nice to see it being saved. Cannot understand for the life of me why anyone would of paid extra for that wood trim though!
Oh well, if we all thought the same way the world would be boring.
...on second thoughts it would be full of cossie powered Fords so maybe not all bad! lol
Good luck with the resto.

Are PE still doing the conversion then? Or have you specced and built it yrself?

What is the advantage of going bigger in cc? More power? More torque? Higher rev limit? And why go 2.4 instead of bigger turbo for example?

Very nice project great that it's being saved and not broken. I can remember this car years ago at ford fair and the sad story about the owner but I'm sure he would have wanted it too be used.
