mrcheese Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 After a great deal of thought i've decided to sell my 4 door mk1. I've owned it for 4-5 years in which time its been my everyday driver. Its had a 1600 installed, new sills, arches,wings,front panel, back panel, loads of other stuff. It was resprayed last year, is tax free, and had its mot done 2 days ago (2/3/13). I've bought a new project and i have other cars so something has to go. I'll post this on osf for a week and if no joy i'll put it on ebay as a classified. If it does'nt go then i'll just have to keep it! i'll also post a link to a you vid of this car soon. I'm looking for £3,500 as its no rot box you can't use, as i say its done everything for years, if interested gimme a call 07901 981638 (Lee) Birmingham area.
mrcheese Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Posted March 6, 2013 The colour looks orange in the video but is a deep red.
sidpf1972 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Posted March 6, 2013 where the wings brand new when you put them on what spec is the 1600 crossflow any pics of interior??
mrcheese Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Posted March 6, 2013 Hi, the 1600 came from a cortins 1600e so is mex spec but has a cast manifold and stock exhaust. I hav'nt any interior shots at the moment but you can see it on the 2nd of the videos. You can also see the dash on a thread in the 'how to guides' on this forum. The topic is called 'Changing basic mk1 twin dials to look 60's retro'. Hope this helps
SebringRS Posted March 7, 2013 Report Posted March 7, 2013 Blimey, looks better than when i last saw it, think it was at the midlands meet two years ago, was it brown? I seem to remember brown Good luck with the sale though mate
skippy Posted March 7, 2013 Report Posted March 7, 2013 That looks real sweet mate, should sell real quick.

mrcheese Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Posted March 10, 2013 Hi Skippy and sebring, Yes it sure looks different since you saw it last, its had lots of time and ££££ on it! Thanks for your comments, have been toying with selling it for a bit and have decided to let it go as i still have the 2dr, and have a new classic mini and am looking for a 70's 4dr yank ( maybe a Dodge? ) Also thanks for everyones pm's
puddy Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 hi give me ring and il come and have a look,my name is phil 07880603891 Can't afford to pay for a phone call ,how much chance do you stand with paying for the car ? lol. puddy
mrcheese Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Posted March 11, 2013 Here's a few more pics that have been requested... Under the bonnet, 32/36 weber fitted, also twin circuit servo brakes (has capri legs fitted and larger diameter rear drums) also had new brand new brakepipes and braided flexi pipes throughout the whole car about 3 years back. Interior, it had brown seats originally but i've replaced them with this nice black basket weave set. Dials came from a 1600e cortina, they work fine. I have to say that i will be keeping the springalex steering wheel as i've owned it for donkeys years, so i'll fit back the original wheel.
skippy Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 You know who to ring ref you wanting a Yank lol !!!!!!!!!!!
