CROMA!

 

Prefer the earlier flat-face ones, but still a nice find!

Saw a Polish registered one this afternoon.

 

Ooh ooh Chrysler 2-litre. Someone's always advertising in Practical Classics for one.

 

Anyone see the minter at the BMC/BL show this year?

Are you going to have a bid then wuvs?

Nope, 'fraid not. Engine management issues are one thing I steer well clear of. Even though I'm getting better with car electronics (having successfully bypassed the immobiliser on the Justy andfixed the climate control on the Daewoo in the last couple of weeks) I don't yet feel ready to attack fuel injection ECUs and the like...

I agree, looks late '70s-early '80s - pretty sure it's not as old as '60s. I'm sorely tempted to have a bid on this, the main thing putting me off is how I'd go about sourcing a windscreen for it.

I think I had one of them in my Spotted thread from a year or so back, it was in Norwich and looking distinctly unused (along with a yellow Midget) not far from where Baz used to live.

I don't reckon it'd be too hard to get a screen for that. Probably worth just trying some windcreen supliers here. Martin Bridle Windscreens in Christchurch down in Dorset used to be able to get me virtually anything when I lived down that way. Real old school place that's been there for donkeys years.

I'd love this however:

Although i expect it will make close to mk1 scrote money :(

That is in my top ten favourite shite! A perfect colour too. Why MkI Escort money though, it's not a sporty one?
I just presumed one of those would carry a hefty rwd turn it into a lotus rep tax. £770 isn't bad i suppose, but i'd not have paid that :)

I paid £10 for mine. 'Twas a 928cc jobbie in orangey brown and one fo the slowest cars I've ever owned. Couldn't complain for a tenner though. No way I'd ever consider paying more than £500 for one, unless it was a Lotus of course.

Where are all thes Accords coming from??There was a really nice B-reg saloon on the Bay a couple of weeks ago down in Cornwall which was fully loaded with leccy everything, PAS and even aircon.My guess is that now's the time to buy low mileage 80s stuff from their original owners. They bought a new car 20 years ago or more when they retired and now have given up driving or died so these cars are steadily filtering through.Sunbeam was damned expensive in that condition - definitely a drift candidate.
