sva'd 2002 as far as i know, off road since 2004/2005. No mot or tax, but it does start, run and drive. Needs a rolling road to sort the idle out, but pulls well.

1760 crossflow, stuart taylor locost chassis. live axle etc. A few minor problems, engine blows oil out fast from the breather, currently a 2l tank fitted. Was half full in about 10 laps of teesside autodrome.

£2k no offers.

Or maybe 2500 with an MOT and tax.

any q's just ask.

some details!

bad points:

speedo reads at half due to a missing magnet, footwell floor has surface rust inside, roll bar is the unbraced variety, not sure if the fuel gauge works, i know the tail lights dont, ally bonnet isnt a perfect fit, its currently on 15s i think with low profile tyres which arent ideal for handling. few scrapes on the arches.

Cant think of much more than that, im sure there are other things though.

Good points, its got twin carbs and had a new battery last year.

If you don't get any takers are you considering breaking?

Robertf - 26/1/08 at 08:00 AM

Do you have paperwork to prove it was SVA-ed?

what would prove it? the v5 has the correct make, reg and chassis numbers, and correct description and date of registration. I dont believe i can get a copy of the mac though, but i can ask i suppose.

Not breaking, not worth the effort.

If i ever get a day off work i might get it mot'd, or a few weeks off maybe put a bike engine in, but i really dont have any time to use it.

If I had 2k and somewhere to put it, then it would have been mine within minutes.

But I don't.

Have a bump anyway.

lol, wish i could afford to keep it myself! Still, at this rate i might get a few more trackdays out of it!

cortina front, dont know the axle ratio sadly almost certainly between 3 and 4!

JoelP - 10/2/08 at 01:37 PM

just need to correct some factual errors.

Front end is sierra, sva was passed 2003. Rear end is mk2 escort.

I have a copy of the MAC too now.

Edit to add this car is now sold and gone.
