Gadge Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Specification: 2.0 Pinto Kent FR22 cam. Twin Dellorto DHLA40s. Extended sump. 5 speed type 9. Cortina front brakes, Escort rear drums. Westfield diff housing. Full weather gear. 24,000 miles, although this may increase if the weather stays nice. Owned by me since 1994 but need the space for other projects. Hoping it can go to a home where it gets some use again. It had several trips to Le Mans in the 90s. It's always been a road, not a track car. It’s been off the road for the best part of 20 years (garaged), so I’ve spent quite a lot of time and a fair bit of cash recommissioning it mechanically. Have done about 200 miles since the MOT and sorted a few minor niggles. My intent was to make the car is mechanically sound for its next owner. It’s better now than it’s ever been, maybe I should keep it 😉 Recent work: Engine – timing belt and tensioner replaced. New fast road electronic distributor fitted. New coil, HT leads and plugs. Valve clearances checked & adjusted. Timing set. Oil changed. Fuel hoses replaced. Cooling system flushed and coolant replaced. 4 branch manifold and stainless silencer (with transferable lifetime guarantee). Gearbox and diff oil have also been replaced. Carbs stripped, ultrasonically cleaned and rebuilt with genuine Dellorto service kit. Previously had rolling road setup and jetted. Recently balanced, good emissions during MOT. Brakes – master cylinder reconditioned (re-sleeved), front callipers replaced, new pads and shoes, new fluid. Seats – one of the original Restall seats had been damaged by mice so car now has some Intratrim Voyager (Narrow) seats fitted which suit the car as they are black with red piping, Original seats are in good condition (other than mouse damage) and available by negotiation if wanted. Seat belts ( inertia reel type as I find harnesses a pain) have been replaced. Fittings are in place for harnesses if preferred. Tonneau does have a rip (still useable) but I have a new (unfitted) tonneau, and a hood bag available by negotiation. New headlights, steering rack gaiters, ball joint boots, fuel sender and manual fan switch. MOT until end July 2026. Only advisory on recent MOT was “Passenger seat not fitted”, my MOT tester has a sense of humour. Tester was very complimentary about the car. Body work is in good condition for a 30 year old fibreglass car. A couple of small star cracks and the gel coat has faded in places. The chassis and suspension would benefit from some repainting and the carpets could do with replacing. Price - £7,250 Gary – 07551-883078 or email garydmahon@outlook.com. I’m in Nottingham.
