High Jetter Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 2 hours ago, Yoss said: That's a weird one. Not a Triumph colour. Earlier boot lid. By F reg it would have a one piece badge, not individual letters. Then it has later seats from a 1500 or Dolomite which is actually no bad thing, they are higher backed and more supportive. I have a set in my 1300. But the weirdest thing is the 1500 steering wheel. The 1300 has a horn bar in the steering wheel, this one doesn't, so they will have to have fitted a horn elsewhere which hardly seems worth the effort when the 1300 wheel looks so much nicer as well. Isn't it a Dolly wheel? I had a 1500 TC, long time ago but sure it wasn't that wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But either of those had the horn button on the end of the left hand stalk. I can't see any stalks in that photo and lots of random wiring on the parcel shelf.

Split_Pin Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 This looks great. If I didn't already have my TD I'd be on a plane. Nearly a year's MOT, not too bad a test history and an honest advert. No service history but you don't need it with a Cav, there's nothing to go wrong. In London so cheap and easy to get to from anywhere.

Whilst technically, the C5 was sold in the UK if you imported one, I don't believe it was ever sold as a UK car - LHD only import. If we're playing that game, then theoretically you can still buy a car with pop-up lights that meets legalities (but not in California apparently) https://www.aresdesign.com/en-us/cars/panther-progettouno/ It's a copy of the 1970s Pantera. So.... the last car I believe to be sold in the UK as a UK car was a Lotus Esprit v8, of which 1 was registered in 2004 (according to HowManyLeft) I'd love to pretend I knew all that, but I didn't. I'm quoting from this place and being a smart arse. So please do prove me wrong. https://moviecultists.com/were-pop-up-headlights-banned richardmorris and willswitchengage 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asimo Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Corvette C5 was officially imported and sold in GB for a few years via a few GM dealers. I think it was sold as a Corvette, rather than a Chevrolet Corvette. Discontinued here in 2002 so unless one took 3years to sell, Lotus wins.

In the late 1970s/80s the owner decided that with a growing family he required rather more interior room than the Coupe body provided. He took the roof section and rear hatch from a Citroen GS Estate and carefully grafted them onto the Fulvia body. Fortunately the dimensions and shape of the Citroen parts proved to be a very close match for the Lancia body allowing the conversion to proceed with the resulting car retaining a measure of elegance alongside enhanced practicality. The least successful part of the conversion was the side window glazing, which rather spoils the profile, but if the car were to be rebuilt it would be possible to develop a more sophisticated side window arrangement .The resulting car was used as the family car in throughout 1980s finally being taken off the road in the early 1990s for some restoration. At some point the car was then partially dismantled, the floor pan was welded but the rest of the restoration never proceeded and the car remained in storage with the orioginal owner until i purchased it about 2/3 years ago. The last two pictures in the gallery show the vehicle as it was c. 1987 at a Lancia Club meeting The owner of this was dedicated. Building his own Lancia shooting brake and using it regularly for well over a decade, instead of just trading it in for a factory built estate car!

Think Marina was sold here but not Ital, and was not sold so many Marina here and few have survived. So Marinas are rare here. And Proton was never sold here.
