Someone's still trying to punt on that crispy rover @DavidB spotted. Not for £800 

Catch it now if you fancy a bid!

It had an early bid which got removed.

I love the pics on that Cortina Estate ad. 

This one, though:

Can somebody please remind me what that lamp was for? I vividly remember it on my Dad's 2.0 GL – which I last sat in in 1989.

It was sold for £280 in August prior to going to the scrap yard - the scrappy wanted £300 for it - this was parked up in a garden centre back storage area for a while as well as a few other cars, I remember seeing it. There has been a BMW E30 325i parked up there for about 25 years.

This good looking one went for £850 - just shows the actual value.

IIRC there is one of these (for doing this work @MOD) called a 'tea pot lid' because of the architecture 🤔.

They were specced to have extreme articulation over the 3 axles.... C..A..F !! 😉

@tooSavvy Close, ours was known as a  'coffee pot' Scammell.

I seem to remember this being on C&C for much less ma-honey. Sadly I wasn't quick enough off the mark to snag it.

Was that Waterworld (or something like that) on the way to Neston from Chester. One of those garden centres down there had an E30 down the back for years, I think it was a white one.

Yes all the old Scammell's had extreme articulation. One of the reasons they were so good.

I think I remember this car being sold on the Maestro/Montego forum for an absolute song. I think it belonged to a technical college and the students did stuff to it back in the day. 

IIRC it sold quickly for about £600, then was immediately flipped for £3k. I remember thinking then it was a niche market. Perhaps seller has realised it's difficult to shift. 

I might offer him what he paid for it.

yes that's the one, it was also posted on here I think but can't remember the original prices other than it was a large mark up

Be a sport, offer him what he paid plus a drink to cover his costs at least 😁

Rear fog light 

Looks like an afterthought. Did rear fog lights become a legal requirement around that time?

Very early 80s I think. Late reg Dolomites have a half arsed attempt hanging under the rear bumper from the factory

There was quite a lot of “after market” type lights fitted to new cars at that time rather than integrated into the light clusters.

78/9 the last MK4 had them, it was easier ( IE cheaper ) on the cortina & Capri to fit them in the lower dash as both had dashboards introduced in 73/4 that didn't have room for a switch without a redesign (especially the cortina.

used to be a black one parked by my old house, watched it go from good condition to a pile of flakes and glass...Guy was a "I know what I have" type, think it took 11 years to be finally swept up. IIRC the engine survived and was plonked into another sc100

The Escort Popular was generally a good guide to the absolute minimum equipment that could be fitted to a car and it first got a rear fog light in October 1979.

However I do have a January 1980 Triumph Spitfire brochure that doesn't mention or illustrate a fog light.

5 large for a 1.1 chapper engined example. It does look tremendous though.
