Actually I quite like that, looks a bit like a Capri.

If someone was to give me £7k and told me to buy a bonkers car I'd have a bid..

Had one of those as a company car, many, many years ago, mind you didn't look like that. Cheers Ray

Every other one I've seen has been Ford Tawny (i.e. brown) with a brown vinyl roof.









DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

They were quite popular in South Africa - there was even a Perana V8 version available.

The Cosworth engine is a good upgrade, but a retro sleeper would of seen his car snapped up for decent money as its quite a rare car.


Lambo doors - eeeek the Fiat nearly got them once upon a time.

That is exactly like the one that I had, same colour and with vinyl roof, brings back memories of a far better time. Ray
