hope someone can help

i have had this wing in my loft for the past 8-9 years, it came out of a old garage clear out i did up in W1 in london

i am not sure what car its from????????, when i got this wing, i also got a mk2 escort wing which i have already sold

what is confusing me, someone has put a sticker on it and written ford escort van wing, but there is a layland sticker with a part number which look original

to me it looks like a escort or capri wing

so if any of you knowledgeable people out there shed some light it would be great, i need to sell it but first i need to know what car its from

thanks for you help

dean







looks like S76450

mk2 cortina

that was fast

cheers

That was easy.

just looked it up to see how much there worth, but the lower left hand side ( hinge side) is a different profile





did they make them in different profiles for the mk2 wings for differnet models

also looked at the mk2 escort van wing and it does not look like it

Sorry to throw a spanner in the works guys but that is not a Cortina wing, i have been restoring classics for over 20 years now and in that time i have fitted a few of those...this is a Dolomite wing and they go for very good money!

cooperman i think your right, but they are very close to some of the ford wings, escort, capri, cortina

Quite true Dean, but Ford panels don`t usually have Leyland stickers on them put it on ebay and you should get a good price for it.

thats what was throwing me

al least i know now.

i may give ebay ago but there cheeky with there fees, but i may try the dolomite forum first, if no luck i ebay it

thanks for all your help

I was too quick in answering.

I saw it and just thought Cortina ! .......I had a Dolomite Sprint aswell.

Almost identical to its predecessor, 1300 FWD

it close. amazing how many of the cars of that era has the same style/look wings

Allegro.

cooperman i think i should of listened to you again.

went on the club triumph site, there was a bloke on therejust last mouth asking of a LH wing. so i joined the forum and offered it to him via PM, plus we only lives 25 miles away,

he did not want to pay any more than £50 for it, aftermarket fiberglass wings sell at £90 new

so i put it on there main website, the same bloke who is a moderator, said it has to go in the classifed in there mouthly newsletter for £10 for a 35 word ad, and deleted my post

seem like a very clicky club,

if someone come on here selling NOS parts i think people would be bitting his arm off

looks like the dolomite seen is very quite

as cooperman said put it on ebay. which i am going to do
there is one on the at the moment,it did not sell at £175, reduced to £125, but the bloke does not know if its genuine or not, fiberglass ones are on there at £50

lets see what happens,

Sounds like the bloke is upset with you not accepting his p**s-take offer of fifty quid to me, so deleted the post so no-one else could snap it up.

Rimmer Brothers list it as NLA in steel and as you say the plastic version is nearly a hundred quid so must be worth that at the least.

good post this, its suprising how some people value panels that are nla, £50 !!!! it would have served that man right if youd have taken a hammer to it and then told him a fiver , mk 1 ford mex wings were changing hands for over a grand ,like hens teeth, hadrian panels now re- manufacture them which has knocked the arse out of the price, BUT full on purist escort people will still pay the premium for a genuine panel , like has been said £90 for a grp panel, has to make your metal one worth well over that , at least it will be more like the correct shape !

Hi Dean, glad you didn`t fall for that blokes pathetic offer, those wings fetch really good money, you would be daft to give it away too cheap, and yes i have had dealings with the Dolomite lot in the past and some of them are a bit `clicky` but there are a few decent guys out there into their Triumphs and i`m sure one of them would be very happy to get his hands on a genuine BL wing, any rare genuine panel will fetch good money, i have had to pay upwards of £175 for genuine Marina wings, Dolly wings often fetch £200+!
Stick to your guns mate, think of all the Mini bits you could buy with that

There's a nos offside wing on Classiccarsforsale.co.uk for £350.00 !!!

Ok, the seller could be chancing his arm and maybe the offside is more difficult to find than a near side, but I shouldn't think it would make THAT much difference.

It is worth what someone wants to pay for it but I for one would not give it away, it will only get rarer and Dolly Sprints are quite desirable. I'd quite like one - just a shame there are no tax exempt ones.

Stick it on ebay and have a dig at the moderator in the description

Well it's on eBay started at 99p reserve set to £150. I think that's a fair price. Rimmer bro like Andrew states are NLA but have a price next to it of £250

In the space of 2 hours after i listed it , I had 5 bids , 4 bidders which has taken it up to £77 and 1 person asking if I can add a buy it now. And 15 watchers.
And there is still 6 day left

I was very tempted to have a dig at the bloke from the triumph club in my listing. But kept my listing clean

I think I did piss him off with not excepting his offer, as he was all keen when I offered it to him Untill I said no that's not enough.

Fingers crossed it will reach my reserve
