Having done some research I feel this car will be a very good buy!

[restoman]

Forget it - the car isn't original and quite simply isn't worth that sort of cash - listen to your head man, not your heart!!!

[Theoldfm]

The car is for sale elsewhere - but these pictures show it with the correct (?) wheels and bonnet at £12k!!

It does look lovely...

Am I a cynic or am I just remembering Brian Lister's words when I interviewed him once? I have it on tape, and he remarked that:-

"there are more Listers in existence today than the numbers I built in the day"

It's happened to Lotus Cortinas and to Mini Coopers. Is ther a way of checking the said car is actually genuine or can anyone just throw a V6 at a Cortina and call it a Savage?

I think this would be a sensible buy myself, it is an original Savage after all.

Legacy - you want to buy this car - that much is clear - so go do it!

Offer him £7000 ...

Hi mate, hope you are keeping well. Don't do anything drastic, go drive it first. If it puts a smile on your face then do it. A mate has recently bought a 1600E with a 3 lire V6 in it and loves it. Personally I'd rather have a MK1 facelift Capri with a V8 was that the Piranha ?

whos a bad boy then, so off to ebay and look for crome rostyles

as per 1600e

[Legacywr]

Hi Graeme, I'm good thanks! You?

That was the Parana Capri, they were from SA IIRC?

Black1, the 1600E wheels were just painted silver and black, the chrome ones are after market, but oh so nice!

The Superlites that are on it now would look ok to period if they were painted silver like the Minilites they are copys of.

Lucky, lucky you. It looks great - presumably you will also get the original bonnet etc too?

When you have got it home, you must post some more pics and let us all know how you get on

[graemel]

Congrats mate. Well done, hope to see it soon. That V6 sounds oh so sweet

[MikeyT]

Well done mate - looking forward to some pics of it.

[graemel]

So when do I get to drive it

[Legacywr]

Yes, I will have to bring it up. It wont be coming with the chrome rostyle wheels though unfortunately, well, unless I pay extra for them. He wants £750 for them though!
