Pilgrim Bulldog Kit Car Project
2. 0 litre OHC Pinto engine & running gear from a Mk4 Cortina.
Engine refurbished 1990 by a specialist in servicing classic and high performance cars, with new twin-choke Weber carb with Ford Motorsport pancake air-filter fitted at that time.
Rolling chassis professionally built.
All mechanical work completed prior to DVLA registration in 1995 with the V5 document showing the car as a Pilgrim Bulldog with the original donor number plate PGB 70V.
The car has been unused since 1995.
Bodywork in dark blue gelcoat, tan leather Jaguar seats, black Wilton carpet and a walnut veneered Jaguar dashboard with a lockable glove-box c/ w vanity mirror.
Smiths instruments, woodrim steering wheel, wooden door cappings, Aston filler cap and Lucas torpedo sidelights.
Chromed brass windscreen frame with T-type side pillars cast to order by Brasscraft and double-thick chrome plated.
Engine electrics routed through an RAC rally-type master cutout switch, located in the lockable glove-box for safety and security.
Set of 5 – 15” MG’C’ chrome wire wheels mounted on MWS
splined hubs c/ w MWS chromed ‘knock-on’spinners.
Serck-Marston radiator fitted with Kenlowe fan, manual override switch mounted on instrument panel.
I started working on a new roof based on the MG TF design and bought an articulated MG hood frame. This hood was never completed but several frames and MG vinyl roof panels which were to be used as guides are included. The sidescreens also need to be designed and fabricated, preliminary designs and parts are included.
This car was completed mechanically prior to being MOTd in March 1994 and was a lot of fun to drive with a lot of engine and a low bodyweight.
This would be a great project for someone to service the engine, after so long without use, and finish the hood and sidescreens.
Alternatively, for anyone proposing to start a new kit car project, the major components – drivetrain, suspension/ steering, wheels and electrics could be removed from this car and used for the new project, at low cost for high grade components.
