This guy could not speak a word of English,but the mods are out of necessity to keep em running i do not think they have any concept of what a hot rod is left him a custom car mag with Mr house's lovely blue pop on the cover to give him a pointer.
Two of a few prefects i saw below

the pop has a few interesting touches, like the filled in bonnet sides and gunsight on the front !

They really do put in a lot of work to keep them working,but i don't think they have much choice,i did not see one car for sale the whole time i was there.

And so did i put some work in to get the shots,i had to run after the purple Prefect until it stopped in traffic,and i had to revisit Varedero centre just to get the photo of the Anglia
