That's that second time I have seen that one for sale actually. Its mentioned in the thread on Australian 4 Door RS and Rally Pack Cars. I thought his asking price before was twice as much as what it was worth last time so will be interesting to see what it goes for if he sells it this time 8 hours ago, RWL81P said: you can keep your oranges, if my numbers come up tomorrow theres a white rs1600 road car just come on ebay. stunning! You can have mine for 50k instead if your numbers come up! The only difference is you get the orange colour and Lotus on the cam cover instead of Ford! To be fair, my Twincam is a bit off tat compared to that RS1600. You wouldn't find a better one anywhere I don't think. 65 grand though seems about the going price in the UK for Twincams/RS1600s so its not over the top once you settle after that initial gasp at first look of the price.

Im more of a large underground bunker type myself. That way I can still take those road trips after the proverbial has hit the fan too. But its the same dream just different logistics.

skeeter Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 I agree about orange cars, they look great. In fact my current daily is orange and it makes a lovely change to see it among the drab grey/silver/black brigade. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colr6 Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 This topic is quite good really cos if you've ever owned a black car, you certainly wouldn't have another one!!

In Australia these days most hearses are no longer black but in fact white. With our sun and heat it gave a different meaning to roasting in the car. It only takes one summer and the black car owners swear never again! Nothing wrong said at all Col it was helpful information. I have to change the will now and leave the Twincam to Scott as I definitely know he appreciates a good Orange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how my Twincam probably should look if I didn't neglect it. No Australian Mk1 had round headlights though Mine is a deeper burnt orange as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
