I dunno.. can't really blame the guy.. he's got a grey plate attached to his head, so he can't see what it looks like!

Were they building them in 1974? Or is it a ringer and well as a looker?

Wonder if it is registered as a viva?
Phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just
went on and on.

130 from the fly is a little more likely, agreed 130 at wheels is mega tuning territory. Back in the 70s some extreme escort boys used a 1300 block
instead of a 1600 with a twinky head to squeeze even more bhp from already highly tuned xflows.
Plus 998cc Anglias, used in cross racing, were getting 100bhp so using that level of tune, 130 doesn't sound too unreasonable.
EDIT: a 1300 twinky was used to take class wins not "out- and-out" power

Go easy on the bad comments...there are builders on here that dont have pots of cash to throw about, but do have a dream of building a car one way or
another........

It may be or it may not.
The 1974 reg can be confusing.
My V5 also says 1974, but production of Sylvas didn't start until the 80s.
As this is a Leader SS, it's a good bit more recent than that.
There was a registration system in place before SVA which many people seem to know little of and it does seem easy to jump to the wrong assumption.
(Not saying this is the case here.)
Regarding the style of the car.
Yeah, I've got one too.
It owes me precisely Phuque all which is an easy amount to have invested in a toy.
I guess that means I won't have to agonise over the thousands I haven't got invested in it.
