lesapandre Posted June 6 Posted June 6 I'd say it would not make an excellent first classic . There are a number of issues with these that are not for beginners - probably put anyone off as a first car. One for the more seasoned enthusiast IMHO.

They were exported - so maybe a bad day at the DVLA when allocating a plate. Left hand drive. First registered in 1968, so that was probably when it came back to the UK. At that time cars just got the current registration letter when imported irrespective of age. Muniphobia, lesapandre and adw1977 1 2

And it was a lot more affordable... Or is it the Talbot cache that does it for you (badge wanker)? I'm a sucker for that shit carpet. Back in 2009 my friend had to - err - leave the country in a hurry. Having spent 48 hours trying to sell his 307d Autotrail for £5k (having bought it a month earlier for £7k from a dealer) he took every last penny I had (£1,000 in savings) and let me have it. It was much the same as this inside but larger and I fucking loved it. However, it was pushing 20ft long with its adornments on the rear - and we only had street parking. With a heavy heart, I flipped it that weekend for a decent whack and have felt sad pretty much ever since. I think they're bloody ace, and I would love one. But until I become a millionaire and can put up a barn for such vehicles it's pointless. grogee and Wibble 2

Wibble Posted June 6 Posted June 6 This is at a local classic dealer to me: https://ebay.us/m/m2Ryyr Mental price, in my opinion, for a car that’s been ruined by the paint job. They’ve managed to sell Cortinas at this price before though. Single mirror on a Ghia seems tight. Snipes, Remspoor, adw1977 and 1 other 3 1

Passenger door mirror was fitted to the brochure car but small print makes clear that it was an extra cost option. £11 in 1980.
