Aye, if its not genuine you'd be better off building your own, there are easier and cheaper ways to make a fast mk3 if that whats you want.  |

Looks like the seller is well aware, or seriously deluded as to what it is judging by his rather sharp reply to what appears to be a reasonable question.
Personnally, if i was looking for a savage, or ant sort of modded 'Tina, i'd steer well clear of that. It just gives off a bad vibe !

Stroppy bloke by the sounds of it, but probably "old school" and considers a reshell to still be a genuine car, could make a nice car up with the bits, but if the reserve is set by a man who thinks its still a Savage it'll be to dear, especially after some of the reports i've heard about motors built by Specialised Engines.

it wouldn't be so bad if the shell was A: the same spec shell as the one the reg was from and B: not a late shell that is completely different to an early one even if it had an early dash grafted in it it would take me about 5 seconds to work out of it was early or late as there are a lot of differences and its not just cortina guys that know about them so who ever had it could potentially lose it if they were to ever get stopped by a savvy copper or vosa operative. oh and as for the engine i very much doubt any engine builder good or otherwise has ever been anywhere near it looks like your average 3.0 Essex boat anchor pulled straight from a zodiac or scimmy and labeled as a tuned 3.1 cos they were all 3.1's when you wanted to sell em same with the old 2.1 pintos |
