 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

7x13 superlights 175/50/13s stretched on Clean original bodywork and pastel colours usually No Arches  No Stripes No Turbos No electronics Harris Pinto on twin webers is the "best engine ever" for the sarf lahndan boys, and miles better than any "modern sh!t" except when you have to go to a 16v Pinto, then feel free to contradict anything you have previously said about nothing beating a pinto  Helps if you are incredibly thick skinned as well ;D ;D ;D ;D |

Take a slice of 60's ford,
Add a Pinch of rs four spokes or revos to taste.
Fold in 1640 cross flow with twin 40's.
Bake at very lowered for 4"
Serve drizzled with a nice minty or lemony pastel shade.

Its a term i picked up in Classic Ford Mag, either there must of been loads over the years all doing that style or it has been ignored that other areas may of styled the same. seems like more of a lifestyle than look anyway... |

Just googled "South London Escort"
And waded through three pages of Escort Agencies that supply girls in South London and thought I'd try a different search. Fortunately none of the kids currently in my classroom saw it and asked "why are you looking for escort agencies sir?"

What exactly constitutes the 'South London' style then, and how does that set the cars apart from other ones with exactly the same modifications?

But it's not a very 'particular' look really is it? Laying claim to it by geographic area is a bit cheeky |

I believe that removing the bumpers is also part of the "sarf landan luk"
Especially the front bumper, especially on Mk2 Cortinas.

Laying claim to it by geographic area is a bit cheeky Depends if you started doing it in long before everyone else was putting small wheels with stretch rubber on slammed cars... That part of its history I don't know ,... but it is known through out the world as South London look... it's a kind of precursor to Euro style.. |

My understanding was a look born out of the street racing in the 60`s early 70`s, very clean standard ook but packing a serious punch as well Box hill is still a favorite stamping ground for them ;D Most of them are that clean that you wont get them out in Winter either ;D..... Theres a lovely Ermine white 105e being done at the moment with a hot Harris crossflow..... pics on TS, cant link them though  Its beautiful  |
