Thanks everybody.

A good clean sport can set you back anything from R45000 - R60000


Only plans at this stage is changing the wheels. The 17" don't work for me....

Good call - the 17's look a bit too "modern" for it I think.

Very nice cars
Nice big garage too, i'd have more if I had a place to put them, the wife wouldn't be too pleased though.
Seems like you get your motors for better money over there too, R45000 to 60000 is approx Ł3500 to Ł4800.
A 1600 sport here would be approx Ł3500 for a shitbox to Ł8000+ for a minter!
Get some 13's on the silver one bud !!!

Some new photos of silver cloud with some superlites wheels fitted. Some other small details added.

Next will be to get the interior cleaned properly and some paint on a few small bits!!

Thanks....

For a mint example without any rust, you'll be spending upward of R45000

That's about Ł3700+

Thanks RC4

The fence is to keep my predators inside!! :-D

We don't have any dangerous animals on the farm, the fence is only to keep my dogs at home, and keep intruders out.

No not likely, the 1600 sport's came out with the black spoiler in South Africa. We never had any with the colour coded spoilers.

Seeing that the silver cloud stole the superlites, I had to get White Diamond some new wheels for the time being...

At first I thought the white one was the one I now have as its the twin of mine. My exhaust is different and a few other details.

I would like to trace the owner of mine if you know of anyone who could help?

Thanks

For R11k your not going to get anything decent. The average escorts go for around R25k these days.
