1964 Ford Prefect review from UK and Ireland
"A right rin din'n old motor!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor failures have occurred from time to time, mainly with carburation. Ropey original 1.4 engine, therefore this was replaced by the current 1.9 Cortina engine in 1971. I have never had to have the car towed home to date, so pretty good, really.
General comments?
A real driver's car. Good handling, excellent power, and loves the open road. Comfortable interior, still in original state. The car is in pristine condition throughout
