I may be showing my age but I thought you were referring to a Cortina Savage. That was some car in its day and took a bit of driver sympathy.

You got a good deal then, ive got the Savage SS 4.6 with a 3 speed box, reverse gear, Talasis Bad boy side pipe and Imex Dawg tyres. Runs like hell and is great fun . Sorry about the bad pics.

I bought one last summer. Only recently had it out this year but started first time. Ive hit a tree a full whack (got a little over confident) and it just keeps going. The bumper was intact as well. Just a pity it drinks fuel when your ragging it. 2nd gears a little bit flakey as sometimes takes too long to change up. Tried adjusting but the screw is so stiff Im nearly breaking the allen key turning it
