Hi my name is Tom I just purchased a 1951 F2








It has a flat 6 and a 4 speed (As my Dad called it "crunch and munch trans")
when I was a kid my Dad, brother and I did a frame off restoration on a 1949 F1 sold it years later never quite got over the sale.
Dad doesn't know this is coming his way yet I'm just going to pull it in his drive and hand him the keys
