On car and classic, seems expensive but if its done well I guess it isnt. Does have some odd things for a 71 apparently - flat top wings, 2 stalks & 2 washers apparently. Oh and it isnt a 2.3 anymore, a period correct 2L which could mean anything (I think manta engined)!

I think it was the red one for sale via facebook earlier this year.

It is the ex Nottingham car that was red and had a nosecone on it. Looks much better now but yes a bit expensive. Carlton 2 ltr engine

I am looking for a firenza coupe and keep coming back to this one out of the 3 I can find for sale. I'm not a Vauxhall expert by any means despite owning 'newer' models such as cavalier 2.0 GLS coupe, Mk1 Astra GTE and a couple of Nova GTEs. I would appreciate anyone's thoughts / knowledge of this car. Is it a genuine 2.3SL, is it worth that much? Any advice welcome. I see it was red and on eBay earlier this year.

Cheers

PS, in the unlikely event someone has one for sale........please contact me, cash ready but must have 7 dial dash and be solid.

That one started life as an OHV engined car. It has been fitted with a 2L Vauxhall Carlton engine.

Thank you for all that useful info, very much appreciated. Though I do like the look of it, I think at that price I'm better to wait for something else to come along.

Cheers

Not sold yet

Car sold, this was bought by me. Car now located up in Scotland. Good useable car because of the modifications and c condition.

Keep a look out for a Vauxhall Frontera 2.4 engine, a straight swop if you have a CIH 2.0 litre engine...
