Full Version: MY 1973 2.0
I'm interested in a 1973 2.0 which I'm hoping to view/drive next week. The seller states that the car was first delivered to Canada. I'm wondering if someone here could please tell me what spec that should make the car? I'm expecting that it is European rather than US spec - would that be right?
Nope. It should be US-spec.

Thanks DD - logical, but I'd thought otherwise.
Regards.

I thought ours came pre-rusted?

No, I think the pre-rust was a North American option. Not sure what the code was. You might have gotten a discount if it was ordered alongside the oil leak option.

Where as, the oil leak was standard equipment on UK spec delivery.

No one knows what the pre-rust option code is. It was always rusted away by the time you got the car.
Make sure the pre-rust option includes the area under the battery. If this area is not pre-rusted through, a battery acid and water solution will tend to pool there when the car is washed or after a brisk rain.
