Hi I'm looking for a mk1 or mk2 or even a twincam converted car in the new year I have cash waiting.
Thanks Ed

Who's is that one Mark? 1.6 or 20L

its 2.0

guy wants 3k for it, the engine is fucked it needs a rebuild

that's the one I was thinking of.

Was chatting to the owner at the retro show. Was thinking about buying it then.

so was I until he told me how much he paid for it when it was working and how much he wants for it now

Have you been to see it? Its got me thinking now LOL

no not seen it, I was interested but he wants way too much for it, if you take out the engine its only a 1.0 shell with a roll cage and turbo running gear, you could build one for much less,

I do plan on building a track uno next though :-)

Need to send my 2L of to have it rebuilt don't think its going to be cheep.

I looked into it and they really are not cheap to rebuild it put me right off,

Intersting! whats the expense in these twin cams? I just see it as a similar engine with a few more gaskets / valve guides.

I've got a Integrale so if the engine needs rebuilding i'll find out, but looking at the haynes diagrams i don't see it much different to an Uno Engine.

Once stripped down the block is similar, the head has a few more valves , if you stripped it down and got the head / block redone at a local engineering place i doubt it'd be much more than an Uno

If you take it to a Lancia twin cam specialist then expect it to be expensive! some of the old bills i've got are eye watering!

it owes the guy well over 5k,i speak to him daily
he paid strong money for it and that was years ago, hes also put a £1200 crank in it

Has he still got the white mk1?

now sold
