Ted Trips Out with his Instamatic

[Father Ted]

Very Sound Bodytub - destined for a 2.0 Zetec conversion sadly.

 

Runs, stops starts, has been restored, now strangely left to moulder.

 

Restored Dumper - look at those skinny wheelz

Long shot - could that be the actual Keeping Up Appearances TV Cortina? I heard it was up for sale not all that long ago...

[Father Ted]

Registration is ACW 937(?)

 

EDIT - No, it aint!

The TV Cortina's a Mk4, the spotted one's a Mk5...

No, hes actually saying, FFS dad its another old shitter, put the phone away and get your arse in gear or we will be late for Liams party....

2.0 zetec conversion is a good use of a mouldy Mk1 fiesta if you ask me, got to be better than a wobbly 'XR2 Replica' or something!Carry on!

[Father Ted]

Quite fancied it as a resto project myself as a 1100, very similar to the wife's first car. Its the RWD aspect of it he was describing that I thought was very ambitious.

[mk2_craig]

It's amazing how often the concept of a RWD mk1/mk2 Fiesta rears its ugly head. Just buy a fuggin Capri instead :roll:That stripped one looks suspiciously like my old 1.1L, however I reckon that was probably cubed after the guy I sold it to's sister crashed into it in his driveway "Dammit Paul, that car wasn't there yesterday"

I'm in total agreement with this

Helped a mate build a RWD Mk3 Escort many moons ago. Rover V8 in it. Went well, looked like a tacky XR3i with white wellers...

Remember the mk1 Avenger that their dog lived in. I often wished I was a dog - you can get away with sleeping anywhere.

Not with one of those ultra rare Mk3 RWD shells?

Did he think about the Essextastic RS1700T bodykit as well?

 

[CortinaDave]

Onslows Cortina survived until early this year on the BBC parking lot. Unfortunately despite a few cortina forum members offering it a new home it ended up scrapped!

[mk2_craig]

Did it go anywhere near a racetrack on its way?

I swear it was a MkI Granada.....unless my childhood memories are failing me!

CHARMANT ALERT

[pogweasel]

^^ z0MG!! ^^With a tow-bar too. Ideal for taking a home-built wooden contraption filled with leylandii cuttings for a trip to the tip at 27mph. Summer hat obligatory.

[michiel]

More pics!?

[reallyloud]

NURSE!!! HIRST! NURSE!

[mk2_craig]

It's not just any old Charmant, it is a

Daihatsu Charmant Lgx

If its there tomorrow I will get some more pics - was on my way to a home visit and was late to do some crusty leg ulcer dressing - as it was I had to turn around to photograph it.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Hirst is gonna drop a major league chod when he sees that. In white too! TOKYO TAKKA TASTIC!

[Guest]

Delicious! Seems like there's easily more top-spec LGX models about than anything else, they must be too wrapped up in the ludicrously chintzy seats to scrap them or something.Can't say the same of the vinyl-seated LC, which I've never ever seen or heard of outside of the brochure.

Not as many of these as there once was.

 

 

Would make a good camper van.

 

 

Only noteworthy due to the original "County" livery

Nice Uno! Looks like the 70SL my dad nearly replaced his 55S with circa 1987. Hella grille strangely unappealing though.
