thrashermax Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 The car started as a 1972, yellow, 1100 Base and has 7 previous owners. The shell was really good hence a good base for the modifications. I'm not a mechanic so I took it to a race specialist to go over with a fine tooth comb. Nothing was wrong with the car when I bought her but some mods were made so that I was 100% secure ferrying my kids around. Previous owner did the following:- Shell was completely blasted inside and out All rust cut out and replaced new floors Extra large gbox tunnel fitted in case the need to fit a t5 at a later date Resprayed Subaru ice blue - rare colour similar to blue mink but brighter Engine is a new Ginetta G40 1800 race engine - basically RS1800i engine blueprinted Twin 40s with megajolt ignition Alloy rad, alloy sump, 421 manifold Type 9 5 speed gearbox fitted Brand new prop Anglia 105e axle fitted as stronger and to run wider tyres if required 7x13 split rim style superlights with Yokohama tyres fitted 2.8i Capri front legs, new callipers and lowered springs Granada rear callipers Bias pedal box Mk 1 Golf headlights Work I had done:- Complete rewire of the car, brand new twin 40s, changed the dash dials to Smiths dials from a Morgan, changed seats to genuine mk 1 classic style with beta cloth, strengthened the sump, re fit fuel lines, set up car on rolling road, fitted modified heater, fitted chrome window inserts, fitted fibre glass quarter bumpers, fitted rear belts for the kiddies! etc. The car runs perfectly and turns heads wherever I go! It flew through the MOT last week. Classic car insurance is £115.00, tax free! Appreciating classic with modern mechanicals!

EscortHeadCase Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 I'm from near there and have never seen this. If you decide not to sell or have something else to drive i should be back on the road from the start of next month. Good luck with this anyway.

Col-ashtonmobile Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 I looked over this car this week for the first time and can say it is absolutely lovely , if anyone is contemplating getting a MK1 this has a lot going for it , a classic osf with a bit of modern running gear and also has all the right bits already fitted so just get in and drive GLWS Max and you,ve obviously got an ideal replacement already , we,ll be firing that barking crossflow up shortly 1
