I need some help identifying one of my grandads cars, I have annoyingly little to go on. It would have been of late seventies/early eighties vintage, was an estate, yellow, and all my grandad can remember was it was supposed to be a 1.6 but had had a conversion to what he thinks was a bigger twin cam lump. All I can remember was it was quite nippy, and it had doorhandles like my aunties 124, but not sure if there was an estate variant. It was sold in around 96 for a brand new Uno.
I'm only asking as my grandad recently found a letter from Liverpool Constabulary, the chap he sold it to gave a bogus address and then proceeded to use it as a getaway car from a robbery, they traced it back to my grandad who obviously had no idea, he asked me what model it was as it's the one car he regrets selling, but I have no idea being 4 at the time. I remember what it looks like but have no model name to go on, so if you have any pics post then up. Anyone got any ideas?
