Colton commando. 2 litre Cortina-based kit car converted it to run on LPG gas at 55p per litre. MOT until the second of August 2008 TAXED to the end of June 2008. I have just purchased a new gas converter for £142 on the 19th of November 2007.I built and registered this car in 1993. It was principally built for use as a mobile toolbox in the property service industry. It has performed this task very well with van like characteristics, strong roof bars, tow bar and the heaviest duty springs all round. I also fitted The bestek electronic ignition system and a bespoke immobilizer, after having previous vehicles stolen. The last five years or so I have only been using the car 2000 miles a year or once a week. This is one of the reasons for sale. I previously owned a Ford Escort van and a Ford Cortina both vehicles were excellent but they both got stolen and rusted. So I decided to look for a kit car which combined the best characteristics of the previous two vehicles. I found the Colton commando at a kit car show, the combination of a complete glassfibre body and a really thick steel chassis made this the perfect vehicle for my needs. I constructed this vehicle with longevity and maintenance in mind. The chassis got well painted and the majority of construction used stainless steel nuts and bolts. I also took a lifetime insurance guarantee exhaust system from Kwik-Fit. Which means I only pay for the first exhaust pipe. I believe this can be handed over with the vehicle. This vehicle has never let me down and is still in good working order. You are all welcome to come and view and test anything as you see fit. I live in the area of NG17 3GA. I have a good number of spare parts see photo above. I have the original construction manual. If you have any questions telephone Kerry on 01623 430758 Or 07966 432410 and I’ll be only too happy to answer them.
This vehicle can be used as a pickup by removing the removable back part.
