[Legacywr]

That would be great, do you know how many cars still exist?

It said in the original advert that only 30 Savages were made, I was wondering if anyone knew how many Escort Eliminators Uren made and whether any of those are still around?

I believe that across all the Cortina's Mk2 to Mk5 there were over a thousand cars converted!

The green Mk3 Savage is coming up at auction.


And.. still holding out for some badges

[Legacywr]

Get in there!

[Legacywr]

I'm very pleased with them!

[Legacywr]

Been quite sometime sinse I've updated, but, I still have this car

It languished, undriven, and, outside for quite a few years, for various reasons but, it was never going anywhere.

I finally garaged it a couple of years ago, and just recently, spent some money on it.

The photos don't really do it justice, bloody iphone! Ha...

BTW, the bonnet doesn't currently stay shut, needs a little adjustment.

I see everyone was suggesting it was overpriced back in 2011, but it was definitely a worthwhile investment given todays prices.

I stole it for £7k, even back then

I love the recent update, I was never a fan of the black over silver, it looks absolutely fantastic now. Hopefully the modern paint will solve the issues with silver fox that I never knew about until this thread.

The black and silver looked great, but, it needed to brought back to its original colour

[Legacywr]

Wonder if it still exists?

[Legacywr]

I’ve seen that offered around. Is it still for sale?

[Legacywr]

Last I heard, he had an offer of £10k on the table.

I would have been interested in viewing.

[Legacywr]

I was very interested in the engine.

[Legacywr]

Wasn’t it a Weslake tuned engine?

Just found this locally to me, pretty original and deserves some love.

Sold for £17k reportedly

[Legacywr]

That looks to be a very good buy at that price, recent sales (at auction) have been 31k plus.

Looks ok ish until you pop the bonnet.

What’s wrong with the engine bay?

It looks tacky with 5hite orange coolant hoses, HT leads & fuel pipe.
Tacky Burton rocker covers with a poorly painted Pinto plastic oil filler.
2 of the K&Ns have a Race Proved badges. Do all 3 or don't bother.
Blue crimp connectors.

I see your point

Unfortunately, just like the last owner of my car, some people just have to tinker, have something to do, etc.

[Legacywr]

I like the bonnet bulge.

I’ve asked for more pics of the car…

Prices seem to have moved a bit since the beginning of this thread

Cost me twice the price I paid for the car to get it painted.

[Legacywr]

I’ve inquired about the red car. It’s an original, well known Savage.
