Re: British world cars
I know of someone who would be very keen on a Kimberley,butchered or not,so that phone number would be very handy ta
Have you forgotten that once we were brought here we were robbed of our names,robbed of our language,we lost our religion,our culture,our God? And many of us by the way we act,we even lost our minds.

I passed a poo-brown Kimberley on the freeway going the other way last weekend.

Re: British world cars
They tended to be unpleasant colours like that if my memory serves me correctly.

A 121bhp Marina...amazingmrtotty wrote:The Manchester man rings a bell, yes.
I wonder if he has a Marina Six, which is my personal favourite. I drove one in New Zealand once. It had the 2.6 litre straight-six from the cheaper versions of the P76 and a three-speed floor-change manual. It had so much torque that gears were almost superfluous.
Re: British world cars
It wasn't so much the power (there isn't a lot as you say) but the torque.
In effect, it was a two-speed manual, with an extra low crawler ratio for very steep hills.

Re: British world cars
Not so amazing in the context of Sprint conversions, which, assuming the engine's stock, make a shade more than the 127bhp they would in the Dolomite seeing as there's room for a proper exhaust manifold in the Marina shell. Lighter than a B-series too, so the brakes and suspension should be fine left. OK, not the last bit then.sierra3dr wrote:A 121bhp Marina...amazingmrtotty wrote:The Manchester man rings a bell, yes.

Far sooner have the 16V Ricardo slant than a lump of pig iron, no matter how many cylinders it had.
Cast iron is for cooking implements.

Re: British world cars
Kimberley's are becoming rare now so there is some more interest in them - P76s seem to be easier to get hold of in Aus particularly in cat b or c condition $1000 -$2000 for a restorable kimberley or Tasman similiar price range for a P76 (base model 6) the V8 -(local redevelopment of the Buick/Rover engine) is more expensive. Mine is in Camino Gold which my wife describes as baby poo brown....
Re: British world cars
A very nice Tasman went through eBay about a six or eight weeks ago. Sold for $1200AU ish.
