This will be one of those cars (like the Jaguar XKs, Mk2s etc in the late 70's) where in the future no one will believe how cheap they once were.

That said, I'd be opening a fresh packet of brave pills before bidding on that!  :o


Interceptors, Espadas, Ferrari 400s, Granada Cosworths etc, that were frequently worth less than their engine and gearbox.

Yet another ebay seller not showing the reg number so you can check the history  ;D :D
plus no mileage or hours run info other than "LOW"
Probably better MPG than the Omega though  :)
worth considering as a daily driver for when this newfangled Chinese virus thing really kicks off   :P

Dad briefly had an orange Mk3 1600L with brown vinyl interior. My only lasting impression of it was kicking a dinner plate sized hole in the rust on the nearside front wing...  :-[

Is that an original interior? Can't say I've ever seen one like that before.  :-\
Capri Rostyles? I don't remember Cortinas having rims as wide as that, but seen Capris with similar offset on the later rims.

Someone bought a tidy 1600 estate from Angli Car Auctions on Saturday for £3,400. Actually looked really nice. There was a tidy, unrestored '83 2.8 Granada Ghia X estate, which only just hit £2,400 :o

I may have mentioned it before ? but the project I reall want to do is a Chevette hatchback with a 3.0 V6 engine and manual box.
Its been done before and was a bit of a missile apparently.
Running gear would be pretty cheap, but a half decent Chevette shell is an expensive rarity these days, so it probably aint gonna happen. ::)
