Eagle ss mk III purchased March 1986 registered May 1986. This Eagle kit car is based on a 2.0 Ford Cortina. This Car was used as the advert picture by Eagle Cars in Kitcar mags.

The nose shape bonnet, I am informed, was designed by Eagle to accommodate the 2 litre Pinto engine I intended to have fitted.  

Used as a daily runabout for first 2 years. Then decided to change the shape of the side skirts.

Shaped side skirts where fashioned along with a rear tail spoiler. We also removed the rear engine air vents. Car was resprayed for the next eight years the car was used daily and then taken off the road approx 1996 for rebuild. 

Due to one thing and another the car sat in the garage for 10 years until my son and I started January 2006 to continue with the rebuild. 

New in this build.

Re-shaped radiator grill, new front indicators, New rear lights, Bumper lowered and number plate light added.
