ive watching all the pics you've been putting up with great interest,and loving it as im in the uk.however there is one English sedan which hasn't cropped up yet and was expecting it too somewhere near the begining.it was probably one of the very first to be done.if not the first. it was done around 1968/1970 ish.quite a well known photographer in the uk and a bit less so in the us.also written a few hot rod books,so theres a bit of a clue.hope no brits chime in and give it away.

 

Would love to see it, Perry!

 

no you've got to find it like all the others.phil.

well done that man.i think that pic is after its second rebuild.paint is diff colour.now tell me the truth.were tipped off by a pm from a brit.be honest now cos that was to quick.what made you go to that website.phil.

 

Ha! Just pure luck. I know Mike Key's work quite well, being a fellow Automotive Journalist; so he was Nr. 1 on my list. Googled his name + sedan + hot rod. And found the Bristol Hot Rods page.
Please feel free to post other pics of that Tudor. Or other European Deuces for that matter!

 

fair play.never thought youd get that in a million years.id get you a beer for getting that if I was nearer.ill see if I can find a better pic.dont know how to rob it from somewhere and post on here.wish me luck.

 

I recall Mike Keys name from the past, IIRC it was connected to another Deuce.

Another picture of Gary Kybert's Tudor, UK. Park next to it, a British-built Ford Pilot, which came equipped with a 2.2L V8 (V8-60) or 3.6L V8 (21-stud version)

 

How did all these deuces survive WWII?

 

I was thinking the same thing.

 

I'm thinking a pretty high percentage of the ones that survived WWII are still going under new ownership.

 

I don't think there are really that many. Counting the models seen in these 10 pages, there might be 50 "rodded" (and running) Tudors worldwide. That's a wild guess... Then maybe another 50-100 "stocker" (or under construction) Tudors. And a lot less Fordors.
