Has it got a bull nose? It would have to have a pinto of any size in it. Otherwise it should have a V4 if it's a flat front, or a crossflow (is this the 1600 you are thinking of?), the V6 was also fitted with the bull nose. And of course the Diesel, original would be perkins and later engines York or slightly more up to date the 2.5L DI.

 

Bullnose (diesel, V6 or pinto) -

Flat front (V4 or crossflow) -

A word about rust. P reg was not a good year, it's to do with the steel strikes in the mid 70s. I took so many parts off P regs for our 74 I felt like I could legitimately change the plate to P.

 

If it's got a test, and without seeing it I would say £1000-2000, but a nice example could be more.

Hi FredGreat help,its a flat front,so i guess its a crossflow,its the same as the one used in Porridge the film,its under a grand so maybe worth it??,seem to be very few on fleabay,even in completed items,does this mean they are getting a bit rare?
