Nice indeed! What are the wheels that are on it in the first photo...?

I have no idea. On the car when I got it. They are probably worth more than I sold them for though

Cragar Keystone by the looks of it.

Woohoo! Does your head hurt from grinning?

Just a bit!

Though it's not actually road legal yet as DVLA still haven't processed the paperwork. My folks have a bit of land though so I've managed to have a spin at least!

Damn, lucky!

Mine is still sat at the importers.... At least they've posted some pics to instagram for me to perv over!

What's the instergram account ?

Have gone the Hotchkis TVS system, Wilwood brakes and a Holley Sniper efi 'kit'.

Currently working through the suspension after finding multitude of poor welded floor patches etc.

Will get around to posting up build pictures when I can if anyone is interested.

Definitely post up the build pictures. A good few of us guys on here would be interested

Picked up this 53 Lincoln Capri Coupe a few weeks ago, managed to get it to WheelsDay for its first run out, really lovely old car

That is lovely, any mods planned or just keeping it as is?

shant mess with it too much, its had a pretty nice restoration and doesnt need much, its pretty stock bar an uprated brake master and booster

Nice ^^ there's a chap up here near Edinburgh who has a 1955 Lincoln 4-door as part of his wedding car fleet. It's a lovely car, I think they won the Mexican road race, La Carrera Panamericana a few years in a row?

There can't be many better ways to cover some miles than a big American coupe to be fair.

I'm going to be controversial and say that the 59 Caddy is the nadir of the "space age" styling for me. Just too overblown, I'd prefer an early 60s one myself.

Mike Finnegan's project 61 is pretty much porn.

i dont totally disagree, i had a 61 Eldorado Biarritz with bucket seats before this,
I liked Finnegans car before he cut it up, i like the concept just a shame to do it to such a decent car

Was this advertised recently or was it another one ,just there's not to many black Biarritz's about .

This and the Lincolne are stunning both in looks and condition, not sure if i could bring myself to sell them,

would be like pulling teeth,so hard to replace these days unlike a few years ago.

Wow, is the registration number for real or for car show purposes , if real must be worth a small fortune.

It's the correct reg for the car.

I love the restrained styling and onterior simplicity of the Lincoln........almost at odds with the intended market. Nothing rides as well as a late 50's /early 60's Cadillac (if in proper fettle) and the rare air suspension option (once again in proper order) is fantastic.
