Car was customized, re-framed and new drive-line installed in Canada in 2000 and was sold and moved to US in 2012. After refresh of body work, paint, new soft-top, and minor mechanical work in 2015, owners drove this Prefect on a road-trip to relocate it from Kansas City to Punta Gorda, FL (about 1500 miles); FUN and lots of attention all along the way!

Car loves to be driven, and loves to be shown. In Canada, car appeared in several 600 plus car events where it was the only Prefect there. So far in the US it has been in a number of shows and exhibitions where it has been the only English Ford Prefect in any of the events, and the people love it! (If you do not want to be noticed, do not buy this car!)
