I mean it does look pretty rough - normally scammers pretend to flog immaculate examples.  Still seems suspiciously cheap though mind.

Considering the outrageous asking prices people are asking for Fords, this seems like a lot of car for £9k

Mk 2 Two door car Originally from Finland converted from LHD

That and the engine change I would have thought it was a bitser car and end up with a Q plate. However, the MOT site says it was  first registered January 1969.  do they not show if it was imported?

That seems pretty good for the money, considering the value of Classic Fords. What goes on with the leading edge of the front wings though? I thought it was just the bonnet open slightly, but looking again I reckon something's way out of line. 

Going by the mismatched wings, I'm guessing that they're very low quality repos

You'd hope so. The front panel and inner wings  look honest, so you're probably right. Sold now anyway.

I think it belongs in a motor museum to be honest. What a lovely car. 

 

Anyway, what about registering, I think I know the answer, it'll get a 71 plate won't it? 

Nope would be given a 78 reg.

i have found the replacement for the Rover.

a chevrolet station wagon that is so big it doesn't fit in any of the photographs.

a 5 litre V8 is fitted, just what a guy needs when petrol is the better part of £6.50 a gallon........

80s and 90s Americana isn't normally my bag. That's bloody glorious though. 😎

Something odd going on...

Is that because the car is in Ulster and their MOTs aren’t on the British system?

It does look a bit fucked. “Door dropping” suggests the pillar reinforcement inside the composite body moulding has rusted away…

There’s probably more British Leyland steel in those white goods than in that Maxi.

As @Asimo rightly pointed out, it's been living in Niron for a number of years so it has.

I know we have a number of Nirish cousins on here, but they have a different system and you can't find out the history online, sadly. They'll catch up soon enough, so they will.
