Description
Genuine South African built Ford Cortina XR6. RHD import from South Africa. 1983 Model. For those of you that dont know what an XR6 is they were factory built for the South African market with the 3. 0 v6 essex engine, rear louvre, five link rear axle set up, front and rear spoilers and upgraded front seats and interior. Car has done 170000 kms which is about 105000 miles from new. It starts runs and drives was in use in South Africa. It needs afew tidy up jobs done.
Body - Very solid underneath. Panel gaps are good. Looks like all original panels. Only place its need some attention is the rear lower quarters on the inner part. Good floors, inner wings, spare wheel well, wings, doors. Couple of rust bubbles on top of one wing, scuttle panel and one rear arch. Paintwork is Ok, not a concourse show winner but presentable. Crack on paint on scuttle panel. Comes with the correct front and rear spoilers, louvre and colour coded all steel bumpers.
Mechanics - Good 3. 0 Essex engine and 4 speed box. Car starts runs and drives and was in use. All mechanics are standard xr6 which includes bigger brakes than uk cortinas. Im sure they use the granada ones on the front. 5 link rear axle helps handling immensely. Will need a good checkover before being put into use. Carb may need adjusted due to the different climate
Interior - Again all standard xr6 with front seats that are very similar to rolltop recaros. Drivers seat has wear on the side bolster. Carpets , dash, doorcards, headlining are all good.
Wheels - 7" Compomotive alloys with good tyres. Would look better on Ronals or original steels in my opinion.
This is a very rare car , with only a handful in the UK. Its unlikely many more will reach these parts as prices are rising sharply in South Africa for these models.
