Mk 1 Mark Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 mk2 1600 sports? is it me or have they all gone?

Pye Man Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 Theres a green in one in Gosforth near Newcastle
kidcos Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 one just came up on ebay not the best one in the world!!! it need some work but worth doing
Mick The Cabbie Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 Yeah, I often wonder where they've all gone too. I do love a 1600 Sport! Back in the day, they were a really nice motor I guess most of em ended up in the hands of boyracers and got thrashed and crashed. I had one 10 years ago. It was a 2 owner ex show car with RS2000 rengine/box. It was white. I kept the original interior & lowered it 2inches over a set of 7inch superlights 1300 Sports, even rarer..
MightySprocket Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Posted January 21, 2008 I had a metallic brown one with silver stripes, it was bought as a fixer but it was too far gone and never made it on the road, got stripped and weighed in
kevmk2 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 My brothers still got one Not so much of a 1600 sport anymore though
MightySprocket Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Posted January 21, 2008 My brothers still got one Not so much of a 1600 sport anymore though is it a minter, does he want to sell it?
bigglesmk2 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 There's one in Leicester,tucked away down the side of a house.I asked to buy it that many time's there is a Not For Sale in the window. It's quite unmolested and in pretty good cond,but never move's or get's touched in any way
MK2Ed Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 Good question I think - and my mates got one and done this - that decals have been taken off over the years and maybe, in some cases, the 1.6 badge on the boot removed, engines changed, etc (as Kev said ^) ... I used to have one (with 1660 engine) donkeys ago (was what gave me the bug) but it went to 2 mates and eventually written off on a roundabout
antz Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 i do love a sport but there arent many around steve_mk2 has a 1300 sport now
radar tech Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 i used to have a signal yellow 16 sport in the late 80's where i grew up in brighton. used to get covered in green fly durin hot summers ! top motor
Capripete Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 My landlord had two back in the early 90's, one white and one black. Both were stolen and burnt out!
60ftman Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 I reckon they all had Pinto's fitted to them and they're all 'RS 2000 flat-front replica's' now. Seemed to be the thing to do when they weren't WAW.
