And that odd tapping noise you get from Holbay engines ??. It's because they used hollow push rods with shrunk fit cam followers and rocker cups. They eventually wear loose, you have to remove them all and check them before centre punching the bastards that's causing the noise.

I never knew that.  I always assumed it was "because Rootes".

This has to be cheap for a T16S these days, even as rough as it is.

Oddly enough, was looking at a much less rough T16S only a few hours ago

I went to see this with a friend yesterday evening. The seller seemed a decent genuine person who had bought it off a man who was giving up driving at 100 years old in 1991. The MOT failure also helped his decision. He apparently had it off his niece who owned it from new. Apparently only 250 were sold in blue mink and it will make a nice car when done. The R/H rear quarter and rear panel are full of filler where it had a poor repair, it also had a terrible repaint so must have been looking sorry for itself 30 years ago when last driven. The back end is in a bad way from exposure to the elements but the front was surprisingly good under the bonnet. It is too much money for me but would be a rewarding project for someone with more spare time.

Marked as sold, I knew they did one (and a Civic) but I've never seen one in the wild either. 

That would have been an utter lol to drive.

Escort van, which has possibly been retrieved from the Mariana Trench. Spares or repairs. Ain't nobody repairing this, it's fucking mullered.

I especially enjoy the extreme footwell ventilation. Also doubles as Flintstone power if the engine breaks down.

its cos 1970s cars are such a weird and wonderful mess at times, like that Chrysler, which is a mishmash of all sorts of styling queues, is why i LOVE them lots and lots and lots.
