Mike,
Not sure where you got your info from as the Angliss cars are certainly well made and put together very nicely.
For a non biased opinion check out the period road tests by luminaries of the motoring world such as LJK Setright - very, very positive.
I guess like all things hand made and in small volume, improvements can and possibly will have been carried out over time.
Undoubtedly expect a greater degree of maintenance than with a CRS due to the greater levels of equipment and associated complexity.
Electrical items are mainly Ford so easy to source but in some instances adapted slightly to suit the car, an example of this is the electric door locking mechanism which although standard ford Granada had an aftermarket micro switch attached to it by AC.
This simple switch lowers the electric windows when the door is opened, to prevent the window glass fouling the hood, and raises the windows when the door is locked from outside the car - all very simple once you've worked it out [
]
Even the power hood, should it be having an off day, can be raised and lowered manually without any great effort.
Early cars are mechanically very straightforward Mustang 5.0L + an extra 35BHP thanks to GT40 intake an larger throttle body.
Speak to people in the club who have spent time with these cars and you'll get pretty positive response. I've certainly been very pleased with my purchase and would rate the car very highly as an accomplished, comfortable long distance GT - which is exactly what they were designed to be.
I'm sure there will be several cars at the national day if want a proper look around.
