Muggy Bonehead Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 My mate over the other side of Hastings has been saying to me for a while now "ere your'e into your old motors, theres a cracker downstairs" so when I visited him on saturday he took me down into the underground car park under the flats that only residents have keys for (a real saving grace or it would be vandalised/stripped for parts by now) In an unlit tucked away corner this beauty stood before me. Registered in Brighton 21/6/76 3.0 GL, but not completely forgotten about as it was re-sorned in august. sorry the pictures arent great but ive tried not to get the numberplate as it interfered with the flash and its not fair to show it without owners consent. Ive got my mate on the hunt for the owner, My Cortina needs a playmate
grifterkid Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 Holy cow... That is amazing! I want it right now...!!!
red-rum816 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 looks in good nick mate it needs 2 be saved.
lee_capri Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 shame that i know vof one worse then that in cambridge and the banger boys would turn they nose up for free been stood out side in same spot for 20yrs
Muggy Bonehead Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Posted October 28, 2010 Luckily being inside in the dry has really helped. the panels are mostly fine. The clock says 37k but im guessing thats 137... or is it I want this so bad
Kieran Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 Theyre still out there ... Get it saved
banarama Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 needs to be fixed.not left in that state
JAY PS Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 Looks pretty rotten to me ,but everythings savable
In The Pit Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 Looks like its been there for a while but still looks great, you never know whats tucked away in garages and sheds.
X FLOW EDDY Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 Buy it NOW !!!! Even if you sold it on to a fellow ford nut at least it would be saved from the scrap yard or the banger boys. How i would love to find a sweeney grandad to do up
Mr Day Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 I love it how these cars still keep turnin up,this needs to be saved and fully restored to new,it'd be amazin
Muggy Bonehead Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Posted October 29, 2010 Believe me, if I knew where the owner was I would be beating his door down with a bundle of cash. My mate is on the case trying to track him down. The car next to it is an immaculate J-plate Mk3 fiesta thats been off the road since 2003, no rust at all, even round the petrol hole. Worthless now but give it 10 years... It is really cool that these old cars keep surfacing, just hope it can be saved.
