2.1 pinto narrow body 144bhp (NOW SOLD SOLD)

Recommended Posts

I have my 24yr old 2.1 pinto that I’m open to offers on

£7k spent 5yrs ago on the enigine rebuild/swap which took it from the standard 90+bhp to 150bhp, I’ts running 144bhp today and has covered 5k miles since the rebuild

 

Mechanical info...

Vulcan engineering build 2.1 pinto mk2 escort engine 150bhp
Weight 590kgs 

Kent FR32 fast road cam
Twin Dellorto 40’s
Ford EDIS ignition module replacing dizzy
Megajolt ignition control & new leads
refurbished Alternator July 2018
Winged sump 
Chrome Burton Power rocker 
Polybushed engine mounts
Ford Type 9 5 speed box
Quaife ATB diff fitted 2018
live axle (unless your in competition or doing 15k miles a year I can’t see why this vs a IRS would make a noticeable difference)
New adjustable suspenion all round this year and set up

Ford M16 callipers & Mintex 144 pads

an impressive full book of detail and receipts from build available to go through

i am not a mechanic, I’ve not tracked the car but have given the snowdonia roads a good bit of sideways action, I have done around 3000 miles in my ownership mostly to Barmouth and back and therefore had it serviced and tuned by a recomemded pinto specialist in July so it sings as it should and never misses a beat.

It’s up for consideration/sale as i just won’t take it out in the rain or wet as it’s never been in these conditions. I would consider a px or swap 

I love this car, as do the kids, I know I should tuck it away for the summer days but I want a toy that I can use all year round rain or shine with at least 2 more passengers 

So, if you want a great car, powerful engine that’s been well looked after, has no issues, needs nothing and has had the money spent on it already to make it reliable then get in touch

 

Bodywork: few stone chips to rear arches, couple of light barely noticeable grazes on rear arches from the garage parking. Bonnet had a vent at some point that was filled but not noticeable until it’s off. Bonnet has been repaired as it has seen a low speed slide down the road the day I bought it hence it’s now black. Wouldn’t have been easy matching old paint but it works with black front arches. I have had the paint stored If you wanted to match the nose.

hood not tight in the pics as the additional support bars aren’t in and these pics are just so you can see it on

Nothing to hide with the car, I improve cars in my ownership. There is a local specialist service place we can book it in to for an inspection if someone wanted further peace of mind and if anything was found requiring attention I would have done for the sale.

Love the ad mate....your enthusiasm really comes through.....

pics would be a bonus IMHO.

two problems...a narrow and too old school for most, although being a narrow x flow powered owner, they don't know what there missing!

good luck with the sale if you go through with it.

A few of us from Manchester Area are at Three Sisters ,Wigan for a trackday on Monday. It's a very relaxed day with very few cars and aimed at novices. 

It would be great if you could come along and meet up.
