As a young engineering apprentice , I used to pass Gordon Allen Engineering on my way to work in my £10 A7
ELK 538. Gordon Allen was one of the many small jobbing/engineering workshops on the Slough Industrial Estate at that time.
They were already involved with converting Ford BDA cylinder blocks to suit Mini crankcases and similar projects.
Little did I know at the time that I would be buying pressure fed A7 pressure fed crankshafts from Phoenix Engineering many years later.
ELK 538 finally gave up outside Osterley Park tube station and was towed to a breakers yard near Colnbrook to join heaps of
similar cars.
