Fitted when it was (probably) resprayed to cover up an aftermarket pop-up glass sunroof?
Was a big sale price though, the market moving on to the 80's from 70s fast Fords?

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

My Wifes Toyota Corolla 1976 e-5… made Feb 76. Lot of issues with them. Shoot her car made 6 months before mine really had issues @ 1980. Hers was Regular Gas, where as mine the only real difference was (UNLEADED Fuel ONLY) on mine…
You think vacuum leaks are bad on the Dubs, My 2 Toyota's went though yards of vacuum hoses….
Her's went through mufflers about every year.
Mine still had the original when I traded it in on my dub.

I would class it as a "spike"!
As Richard Hall said there are some close up shots of the paintwork on line and it wasn't great. Also had the incorrect colour seats for a red car. But whether these were factory fitted I guess only the original owner knows?

This is the one that appeared on FB this week at the Southampton Docks, came in from Cyprus, as pointed out on there if it was a genuine steel bumper car it wouldn't have later spec front and rear wings which show blanking plates for plastic bumper mounts. Plus it’s got late Series 2 windscreen pillar covers YompKingy76 said
There's currently a restored 1979 tin top on Pistonheads at £30k, it's stunning!

Yea plenty of "odd" bits on this car from cyprus.
Later radiator mounts, strange vacuum pipework over the engine if you want to get anal!! Still gives me some hope the amount of time and money Ive invested in one!!

Where can i get one for £5?
