Previous owner has stuck all sorts of stickers on and later died. Wife of said owner was trying to tell us it was something special. Brooklands was mentioned but that's crap. It's had all sorts of changes in its life but I believe the log book says, 3.0, No S which makes sense as it's an Ghia automatic. Wife said it's now got a Granada engine which is a disappointment but I'm sure it's just a difference in camshaft. I've been told of lots of stories of bigger valved heads but talking to engine builders it's bull. Time will tell as "Simon the owner" will now research this big time. If you have info Bob it would be appreciated? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't under stand the old folk that want to shove on all sort of pin stripes and stickers, and then lacquer over the top. Messed up some good paint work, although it'll have a respray later. Simon thinks like me, get it on the road and better it along the way. It's a real good starting point for it's age. I suspect a slight head gasket prob but not worried as I'll be assisting him doing a full rebuild along the way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have info Bob it would be appreciated? What sort of an interior has it got ? If it had a Granada engine implant that might explain the auto box if they just replaced the whole shebang. Ghia Auto will have a lot of 'chrome' embelishment, has it got a viynl roof ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand if that’s a joke... But no, it’s Rocha, translated to “rock”, Pete Rock is also a rapper’s name, but that’s not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, absolutely not, it’s going to be on full time before dawn. The weather there is insane in the way it changes, and races have been stopped more and more as the fast class keeps getting faster. It’ll be a mad sprint to the finish after they green flag it ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Started the day with a lovely drive to some different trees for the morning dog walk. We went down a mountain bike trail called Tin Pan Alley. It had just rained, so it was really nice and lush in the forest. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 After the morning dog walk we went for a short ride on the Himalayans to see about a road that just opened up....meaning, NO LOGGING TRUCKS The sun came out for a bit and the roads were in good shape..... it was a nice ride. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 There's some sort of horse event going on in the town, and over 25 of them are being stabled in the site where we have ours. Some were in enclosed stables so I couldn't get pics but you'll get the idea! First two are ours..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interior pretty standard, nothing bling there. Vinyl roof in good condition, alloys that are turning to powder and to top it all, it's a 2.8 engine the previous owner fitted. I knew something was wrong while I was getting it started but kept my mouth shut before I could confirm to the owner. He's a little disappointed but now started searching for a 3ltr engine. and manual box. Paint looks very good on this pic but the lacquer is shite. Previous owner didn't do the car any favours other than keeping it in a well vented garage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Most of the 3.0 were auto. It will be a rust bucket but if he goes through it then it will make a good usable classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
