One of my brothers had a Mk1 Lotus Cortina briefly (parked in tha canal first time he took it to work in the ice)
-
I badly bent my Mk1 Lotus Cortina rallying in the Forest of Dean ... halfshaft snapped in a corner and spun me out .. wrapped it around a tree .. literally !! Full impact at around 60 mph taken by pasenger door !! ... total write off .. the car made a banana look like a straight edge.
Replaced that with the Mk2 but it never ever handled as well as the Mk1 and I couldn't afford to bend another so had to stop being a hooligan rallying, missed it badly for several years, then got the MGB and started to have fun again .. until SWMBO announced the impending arrival of sprog #1 ... had to grow up and get sensible .. :(
-
Ford Cortinas, I grew up with my father owning several over the years, I even had a few myself.
Ford Cortina will always have a place in my heart
:y :y :y

my second car was a mk 1 cortina, reg 489 fgk, it was painted black with a yellow stripe(dulux), cost me twenty quid.ahhhh those were the days
-
very nice classic :y :y :y

On the way out to Calais for our holidays we came across some guys on the "Cortinas to Cortina" rally. Had a good look over their motors whilst waiting for the ferry. There was at least one of each variant right up to a tidy Mk5 which I followed into Dover.
Favourite was a lovely white Mk II Crayford GT convertible :-*

My dad had one back in the day, dunno if it was a Mk1 or Mk2 though, waaaaaaaaaaaaay before my time :y
-
A colleague of mine used to have one. He was driving down the M3 one day (allegedly at 90 MPH :o) when he had to swerve to avoid something.
It rolled onto its' roof, tried life as a toboggan for a hundred yards or so before ending up in the ditch :'(
