UK Torino Owner

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hi All, 
New to this forum and to Torino ownership. I'm in the UK and own a 1973 Torino Gran Sport with the 351w engine she's in Golden Ivy with the tan interior and vinyl roof. Hoping to network / gain technical help and advice as well as finding suppliers of pattern parts / NOS Parts / used parts. Most mechanical items are available in the UK but trim is particularly rare and there seems to not be many companies producing pattern parts such as lighting lenses / reflectors / exterior trim. This is big business in the UK and allows the UK classic owners to keep their vehicles on the road / looking good and at an affordable price.

I particularly like very stock vehicles.

Looking forward to posting some piccies when allowed.

Thanks for having me.

	Welcome Nick! Is your Torino a fastback or formal roof car? This is a great forum for technical help and if you search around the different sections you will find lots of sticky posts and reference information that may help you out. We have a few other members from the UK on the forum too. You've been upgraded to a full member, so you can post photos. We'd love to see the car.
