That's an excellent end to this story! Very happy for you, let us know what it's like compared to the memories when you finally get it home and have enjoyed a drive.

Congrats!

The last time I was in the car it was 1977 and I was 2 years old lol

Might not have so many comparative memories it appears :icon_smile_lachuh:

I had not realised how pretty the 1800 is. I may look at buying one.

Time to update this link

The restoration seems very promising, enjoy the car. Time to create new memories in it.

Gawd, that was a lot of money................... :omg_smile:

Probably bought it for less than the cost to restore=a good buy.

Great story, congratulations!

I'm very keen on family history so I'm well chuffed this worked out for you. Got me wondering if I could find my Granda's 73 Triumph Toledo now - doubt it would've survived much longer than 1985 though. Come to think of it, he had a Cortina before that, which I never saw, could be more likely ...
