Yes, looks like an interesting device with some weird body mods, a 1300 Escort engine and a tow bar!

Very weird body mods.

Lots of £s needed to make it "normal" again.

Lots of bidding too. It needs about £15k spent on it to make it a normal TC.

Have to confess i am one of the bidders ...it does look a bit weird for sure , but does at least come with the a rebuilt twin cam  engine to replace the 1300,   I think i can wipe the ugly off of it and make a nice car again .

Any "rebuilt" TC engine should be striped and carefully checked.

or preferably stripped and rebuilt.

I think stripes would ruin the look of the engine. They were all painted grey leaving the factory I am told.

Agreed ... would not put it in anything until it had been checked out.
