Hi Andrew, I used to own one of these superb Crown's. My mate Steve talked me into selling it to him!
Steve, has sorted out the TV, and gets very good reception. He has got hold of a Nav disc, and his son is in the process of translating the files. So if you need any info, drop me a line, and I will put you in touch with Steve.

Cheers Chuck.

I saw in your album that you have a MK1 Cortina! Boy does that bring back memories for me. I had a Lotus Cortina back in the 70s 1600TC with twin 40s. Aluminum doors, boot and bonnet, perspex all round 1/4 bumpers and it went like stink! It had the long distance tank on it and an electric fuel pump. Wish I still had it.

Heh, that's not actually mine, but a good friend's. His is pretty straight, all it needs is a new bonnet (rust) and the front bench seat to be repaired.

My other car is actually an FC RX-7.
