I live about 20 miles from Inverness, but grew up there, I'm trying for the life of me to remember the peugeot/talbot dealers name around that time. I thinking Ferres maybe James ferres, something like that.

Had a sunbeam TI years ago loved it. Was fitted with a modified 2L Ford pinto engine, and the guy who put it together blew up the diff.And the only differential he had lying about was from a bace model 1.1L. So it would only do 86mph screaming it's tilts off, but it would get there bloody quick.

Well I'm currently taking the engine out for a full rebuild as I'm going to put a fast road instead of the rally cam as it's more user friendly and to take cam out its head off oil pump off so I'm going to put my spare engine in to keep it on the road until funds allow for the full engine rebuild

I think a friend of mine owned it back in the late 80's. From what he told me, and he was really into ti's, there was only one ever produced in black from the factory. It was a special order, and the only other black ones were the Lotus engined cars. He had a few different ti's back in the day, including a rough red / orangey coloured one with the ti sides in white or silver. He used to drive that one like he stole it! His black ti - which I think could now be yours, was very much the polished and loved one. So, if this car is a true ti, it's always been black and he was telling the truth, I think it might be his car! Also know (again, if he was as knowledgeable as he thought he was, that it's the only black ti made (factory special order). He lived back in the Cheddar area of Somerset and think he eventually sold it to a guy in Highbridge in Somerset. (He thrashed the red /orange one and squeezed every last inch of fun out of it, before crashing it into either Cheddar gorge wall, or a car driving along the gorge... don't remember exactly!)  edit: I think he had the words 'the black ti' written on the bottom of the rear numberplate. |

Hi the TI came in black as there is at least 5 I know in black
This was originally a Scottish car and from the history spent its life in Scotland apart from a short stint in midland for 3 years.
This car was used as a hill climb vehicle at some point in the past and had been threw a couple of colour changes but the previous owner decided to put it back to road spec and had it resprayed in the original colours
