The company specialised in converting coups and saloons into convertibles and estates.Notable products included the convertible Mini, BMC 1100/1300 convertible, convertible Corsair, Cabriolet Corsair, Cabriolet Capri, and the rare Triumph TR7 Tracer Estate. Other lesser-known conversions from Crayford included a convertible Volkswagen Scirocco, a Ford Cortina Mk V Convertible, and a Mercedes S-Class Estate. Crayford also did a series of Ford convertibles, including the Cortina Mk I, Cortina Mk II, Cortina Cabriolet Mk2 and Corsair Convertible, Corsair Cabriolet and Capri Cabriolet.The vendor bought this lovely very rare example of a Mk2 1600 GT Crayford out of a garage where it had been sitting for 18 years. he's had a new water pump fitted , points, plugs, leads and battery. The fuel tank and fuel lines have been cleaned . The car runs very well now. The Front calliper's have been sent off and rebuilt, and all brake lines have been overhauled togeather with a new brake master cylinder, and the car has had a new clutch. It could do with a new roof, but has a tonneau cover which is in good condition. The Body work is good all round, and the interior is lovely with no rips in the seats, and no cigarette burns. The vendor has all the old Tax Discs and also a certificate from Crayfords Archives to say that they converted this vehicle.
