I'm not sure about the origins of the windscreen, but an Escort is not the mechanical base.

How about a Capri?

Djetset · « **Reply #27 on:** October 23, 2012, 03:54:36 AM »

Not a Capri either.

Taunus?

Zephyr?

Djetset · « **Reply #30 on:** October 23, 2012, 04:23:47 AM »

Neither a Taunus nor a Zephyr!

Corsair?

Djetset · « **Reply #32 on:** October 23, 2012, 04:33:38 AM »

More recent than a Corsair (and Taunus, Cortina, Capri...)

Granada?

Djetset · « **Reply #34 on:** October 23, 2012, 04:37:14 AM »

Very close-ish. Try again.

Sierra?

Djetset · « **Reply #36 on:** October 23, 2012, 04:50:59 AM »

No, getting colder.

Wendax · « **Reply #37 on:** October 23, 2012, 04:58:44 AM »

Consul?

Djetset · « **Reply #38 on:** October 23, 2012, 07:43:24 AM »

Still cold!

woodinsight · « **Reply #39 on:** October 23, 2012, 09:54:36 AM »

Zodiac?

Carnut · « **Reply #40 on:** October 23, 2012, 09:59:05 AM »

That looks like a Ford Anglia windscreen to me..

Djetset · « **Reply #41 on:** October 23, 2012, 10:58:03 AM »

Still not sure about the windscreen, but an Anglia is noty the mechanical base.

If it's not a Zodiac then maybe it's a Scorpio?

Djetset · « **Reply #43 on:** October 23, 2012, 11:25:56 AM »

Yes, a Ford Scorpio is the base, worryingly with a 3-litre V6 engine! Now all I need is the name of this stange car's creator, so locked to you until your next reply.

Forgive the leap-in while locked, but I do know this one - and it's NOT based on a Scorpio...

I think it would be wise now to wait until the base car is established........ $:-\$

Quiller · « **Reply #46 on:** October 29, 2012, 12:36:23 PM »

Would it help if I said that, as far as my info goes, Wendax is right - it's Sierra based?

Djetset · « **Reply #47 on:** October 29, 2012, 01:20:49 PM »

Ah ha, just goes to show that you can't believe all you read! This car was advertised using Sierra 4x4 running gear, but I have spoken to the builder, and it does in fact use a Scorpio 4x4 as its mechanical base. So, who made this thrilling machine for a point?

Quiller · « **Reply #48 on:** October 29, 2012, 01:29:23 PM »

If it's unlocked, I'll tell you tomorrow!

Djetset · « **Reply #49 on:** October 29, 2012, 01:34:40 PM »

It is now unlocked, so tell away...
