Wilko220 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 After a long time (embarrassingly too long) laid up gathering dust, I'm in the process of getting my Sceptre back on the road and it's in a garage for some work. Will find the old thread and provide a proper update in due course, but in the meantime I popped in yesterday and got this photo. Enjoyed being able to compare the Ford, BL and Rootes approach to “high end cars” in the mid-70s side by side like that.
