They rarely move on if in good condition so you may need to buy a wreck and do it up.

The club know of around 25 in total. So fairly thin on the ground.

:( I`m afraid Chris is right Jan, the mk1 TC is a rare beast these days, there are very few decent examples out there now, the chances of finding one on the open market are pretty much nil, although i did notice in " classic cars for sale magazine" the other day, there was a TC Coupe in damask red as an unfinished project for sale with all the paintwork and body finished to a high standard, needs engine to finish...so they are out there but you need to keep your eyes skinned! :wink:

Strange i can , well "understand" those who scrap "ordinary" marinas but the mk1 TC have always been high up on every marina-owners "love-to-have" list. on th epositive side it will probably means that there will be a higher surviving rate on those cars still around.
