:Welcome:
Address you looking for one to restore? Or a runner you can use?
There a few on Ebay UK if you are prepared to import, though there do seem to be a few Canadian members.
If you haven't already I'd suggest you browse this Forum to give you an idea what to look for, and what to expect!
That's what I did before I bought mine a year ago. Good luck.

You need to decide whether you want an early Renault engined S1 or S2, or a 1972 Lotus/Ford engined TC, or a 1973/1974 TCS with a 5 speed gearbox.

Welcome Bud. Where in Canada are you located? Looking for a project, good runner, restored or good original car?
There is a Twin-Cam for sale in Saskatchewan. It's on ebay:

Apparently the graphics will peel off.

That looks like a really nice car. The rear brake pads don't seem to wipe much of the disc and the fact that he didn't seem to want to let go of the shift lever makes me wonder if he's hiding something. He doesn't say so in the description but it's a 4 speed. When he says "adjustable half shafts", he means adjustable lower links.
I don't mean to be critical. I don't think any of those things would dissuade me from bidding on it if I were in the market.

Bud, :Welcome: Lots of things to think about. As I am sooo close to certify my 2 year long S2 restoration, I want you to know that forum has been an invaluable help. Good luck in your hunt.

Not everyone's choice of colour both inside and out.

A lot of work gone into that interior - albeit the end result a bit "strange" - Any body notice it has no ashtray....??? :FUNNY:

After all that work to paint it I'm amazed they let that door gap and boot lid lip slide. I only noticed because I am a sad and depraved man who has spent hours fixing such things....
