On more than several occasions I\u2019ve described a CR427 as a jewel-like Faberg\u00e9 Egg of a car and they are quite simply exquisite.<\/p>\n<p>As far as John was concerned anything other than a Ford big block FE427 was frowned upon, with Chevy V8s completely \u2018verboten\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>John has decided to retire but is confident that Anthony Hale shares his ideas and views on the product and will help the brand develop and flourish. John will remain as a consultant and looking after existing customers. In addition to being a big admirer and fan of John and his work I have also been very impressed with the quality of Anthony\u2019s work and we\u2019ll bring you more on this development as soon as we have it\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crendonreplicas.com\">www.crendonreplicas.com<\/a>\u00a0or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.absolutehorsepower.co.uk\">www.absolutehorsepower.co.uk<\/a> or call Anthony on 07968 394 396 <strong>ENDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Just as we closed the proverbial shutters for the week, we heard that the Crendon CR427 project has been taken over by Anthony Hale of <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/12\/15\/crendon-replicas-under-new-ownership\/\" title=\"CRENDON REPLICAS UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11375"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11375\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
