Pah!  Those guys are amateurs.  This is how you price a bargain

^^ That is lovely though!!

 

Thats new Fiesta money, which actually makes the Rover look an absolute steal all of a sudden.

Tax expired 1993. Must have failed it's first mot and been parked up... But has it done 1475 miles or 101,475? If it was fucked at three years old I would guess the latter. If it's the former, seller needs to borrow a gravel driveway.

Anyone fancy a MKII Cortina 1600e   needing FULL restoration ?

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-CORTINA-MK2-1600E-1969-/142252482947?hash=item211ee8a183:g:locAAOSwLEtYhN9o

 

The price was so optimistic he dropped it by 2 grand within 24 hours of listing, ( maybe the drugs had wore off by this time ) but still overpriced by at least 6K

 

Seller is a tool

 

 

THE RADIO WORKS AND ITS THE ORIGINAL OPTION FROM FACTORY .

 

 

My arse

 

Ford Radios at the time had the Ford Logo on and I very much doubt this model of Pye was even made in 1969 - look much more late 70s-80s to me.

Concur, radio / cassette in 1969? Wouldn't have been anywhere near the options list.

Those drugs are still wearing off.... Despite ' Lots and lots ' of calls and people falling over themselves to give him 8K.... he's now dropped the price to 6.5K,  , never mind matey take it back and store it on the planet Zog, where you clearly came from !

 

Update...1st Feb... Now down to 5.5K... I bet he can't handle the prospective buyers wanting to hand over the cash !

Update ...6th Feb... Now Down to 4.5K... Keep going lad... still about 3k overpriced

Update...10th Feb...Re-Listed again... Now up to 5k,   WAIT... reduced to 4.3K !!!

This bloke wants £150 for two untested ECUs from an almost worthless car notorious for having unreliable ECUs.  Brilliant.

Wears much of its original poverty spec trim which is nice, note lack of any bling, nor temp gauge etc etc I am pretty sure though that my 105E saloon dash only went to 80mph. I used to bend the needle on the bump stop with my chooned and balanced 997 oversquare block and high ratio diff

But Someone cut a couple of winders into the sides

 

doesnt appear to have been Mot'd since the mid 1970s and is NOT recognised by Doovla, no V5 nor any chance of getting one - unless a complete fruit loop manages to get it up and running.

Thrown into the bargain is that the front suspension is shortly going to launch at least one road spring into a stable orbit

To you mon brave £1500

 

verdict - some nice spares on it

and I have an itch for a 105E again

Jesus Christ. I had a G reg one of these in about 1996 and I think I paid less that £5k for it then.

 

That digital dash is doing well, mine developed some VERY strange habits and eventually stopped working altogether.

Definitely not diesel. My mum had a 1990 1.6 dgt back in the late 90's. Drove ok for the most part but always felt underpowered. Tailgate was massive on these and weighed about 3.5 tonnes.

 

Bit of wiki history check

 

DGT, (early Italian market DGT models were badged as 'digit', presumably in recognition of the digital dash, but this was quickly changed to DGT after a dispute over ownership of the name, leading to confusion about whether the model was diesel-powered.

I bought this in 2011 for £750, kept it nearly too years, sold it for £950 and now it's up north for £3990! (Admittedly it does say £1490 on Autotrader tho) It also attended Shitefest 2012.

Well found! To be fair i don't mind that, he painted the side which was keyed, fitted a new exhaust and i think he even refurbished the alloys. IIRC he ended up putting it though the auctions and getting about £1100 back for it.

that looks like a real survivor and I am not sure that 4k is that wide of the mark - even though it looks really frilly around the edges.

 

Mot history has been purged of the word rust which really surprised me

 

I think so too...  I used to know these quite well in their day. Fragility aside, they were a hoot to drive and very nimble - a mate had a succession of 3P and would run rings round the Escort boys who thought the world stopped at Fords.  He used to be able to give me in my Alfasud a run too

 

That isn't frilly.  That's better than most were at 6 years old !
