welder Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Left hand drive Ascona spotted on Tuesday tea time in Middleport Stoke on Trent. Anyone off here know it? I want to be an enigma, or do I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Beautiful! Any chance of some more details about it please? Cheers, Joe. Did you notice when you began to disappear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Thanks for the kind comments. It's my second 2dr Ascona B. I've not had it for long, I imported it from Germany on 31st October this year. It is a totaly solid shell and has never been welded. It has been converted to 2.0 GT/E running gear by a previous owner, and has 2.2 brakes. Modifications to the engine are limited to a Lexmaul ram intake and Lexmauul 4-branch manifold and system plus a K&N filter, so it's not exactly quick, yet[] The wheels are 7.5x15" BBS RM and it has been lowered on back-breakingly stiff suspension. It has an Ascona 400 interior and a Momo wheel. More modifications to come but that's about it so far. Here are somemore pictures; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I'm not sure how many members of the OMOC use the Forum, but I'll bet the majority will be feeling a slight twinge of jealousy when they see these pictures. 'It's a cracker' as the saying goes. Will you be bringing it to Billing for the national rally next July? Cheers, Joe. Did you notice when you began to disappear?

Guest Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Thanks Joe. quote:Will you be bringing it to Billing for the national rally next July? id="quote">id="quote"> Yes, I'll be there. I missed it this year but I was there the previous year in my white 2dr (with petrol stain down the side, Doh!). I will also be going to Retro Cars Show '06. At the moment it's immobile. It's lost compression on no1 cylinder so I need to do some investigation work but I suspect a valve/valve seat(good excuse for some modifications). It's a tad cold outside at the moment though and I'm struggling to find motorvation [:I]. I should have it out and about soon though. Is there anyone else off this board from the Stoke and Crewe areas? I see a lot of nice Mantas about when the weather fine. Daz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welder Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I'm just down the road from you in Leek. Don't know if you saw me but I was in either a silver 1.8 hatch or a red GTE .[8D] Nice car btw! I want to be an enigma, or do I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
