Same colour as the one I helped save from a front garden near Croydon a few years ago.

Obviously it makes no economic sense. At current market values it is worth sod all when in average condition and this will require a few thousand for chassis work a few thousand for engine work, a few thousand for paint and a few thousand for trimming. I am on the South coast so anyone in the North West want to view it for me and tell me how bad it really is?
This Trident will take a braver man! same auction.

Even quicker with the right 2L....
I like your style Steve. You have one of the quickest wedges around but you let them think the V8's are the best. I think this is the first time I've ever heard you say otherwise. I salute you :-)Many Thanks. Steve
Here is a screenshot of it, taken from Cortina City's YouTube video, which is a walkaround of most (if not all) of the lots.
even when the car (Tasmin) would come with paperwork:
interior is shot, chassis most likely too, paint is shot and its a model with a 2l pinto...body is "raped" by fitting a sunroof.
even rare, who wants a pinto in a wedge?
value? next to zero.....maybe good for some parts..but which?
restoring makes no sense as a good example costs much less than restoring this barn-find. sad, but true.

You're correct, but I hope someone buys it and gets it going just because they want to.value? next to zero.....maybe good for some parts..but which?

The 200. Nobody wanted them then, nobody wants them now!

I really like the idea of a 2.0 litre, camshaft smoking Pinto, just because they are different. My garage is somewhat full at the moment, but a Pinto engined Wedge does appeal to me, just because they are rare, different and useable.....The 200. Nobody wanted them then, nobody wants them now!

As i have posted elsewhere:
Not everything is logical
Sometimes the desire to own a TVR takes over rather than counting pennies
I think it would be great if a father and young son or daughter bought the car to restore together and enjoy the journey of learning
But what do i know?
