Seller listing states “It’s a 2.0l petrol with the original 18R engine. 4 speed manual with free wheeling hubs on the front. Due to its age it’s now TAX and MOT exempt. A true classic! As you can see it’s by no means pristine and it could really do with some TLC. The carb could do with tuning, the rust is a little unsightly here, and there is at least one hole, in the passenger footwell, that could do with being being welded up.
It’s a surprisingly nice drive, although the suspension is a little hard on speed bumps. But it is a pickup after all! The rear tub is in excellent condition, but it’s from a newer model. The canopy and rear bumper are bespoke (hand made).”

And they stopped before reaching the bottom of the guide. So […]
This Ford Escort 1600 Sport auction result gave us one of the most entertaining bidding battles we’ve filmed for a while. Before the 1979 Mk2 Escort went under the hammer at Anglia Car Auctions, we took a closer look at the car and asked UK Barn Finds followers to predict what it would sell for. […]
This Ford Capri auction result is an interesting indication of just how much enthusiasm remains for early Mk1 Capris. The 1970 Ford Capri 1600 GT XLR certainly wasn’t presented as a pristine example when it went under the hammer at Anglia Car Auctions. It was scruffy, needed restoration or recommissioning, came with no history and […]
