Hi,
I have been offered an Eagle that is based on a VW floorpan, but has a Ford
Crossflow mounted at the back, rad at the front. Non 928 headlight style,
the front seems shorter with Nova ish style lights but uncovered.
I can get it very cheap, believe the screen is ok but will confirm.
It's been off the road for years and sounds doomed, has a lost v5 but...
Its got a q plate and from that I have found that it is registered as an Eagle!
Therefore being beetle based not a Ford chassis version it could be on the road easily
(after a lot of work). Only thing is that when applying for a lost v5 you need to state
the chassis number. That will just be the beetle vin on the tunnel won't it or did Eagle
have a riveted plate somewhere? It may have one i haven't viewed yet.
It's an 1986 so not MOT exempt - (according to info its registered date and manufacture date are 1986)
though not really accurate as the beetle base is older.
It will be more for tinkering with at my workshop than a committed plan to return to the road.
Thoughts?
