The garage owner bought it in the late 70s I think and sold it a few times but it always came back to him. He said it was one of the best cars he ever owned. It became a garage runaround in the late 80s and was laid up in the early 90s. He was planning to restore it but has too many other projects! (I know the feeling)

One of the owners added a few bits to it but I suspect it came off the line with MK2 rear lights, a lot of P reg cars did. Not sure about the bumpers, think they are a later addition.

I think Martin has already found a good home for it

Looks great and what a find.
Get rid of the bumpers and daft fog lamps and it will be much better

Nice to see a good colour in a TC Saloon.

Took the saloon into work to have the paint Gardex'ed and a spot of advertising

Has that TC had cover sills riveted on in the door shut?
I have some better sill trims if you need them?

JoshWard · Post by **JoshWard** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 10:59 pm

It has had new sills at some point, not sure if they are cover sills or not. Somebody has fitted some sort of trim over the whole outer sill with a mirror finish, obviously the standard TC sill trim wasn't bling enough

Thanks for the offer but it's not my car and Martin will be moving it on shortly to a new home hopefully
