I've got ONE you're welcome to if need be. I'd be glad to see it used rather than in a drawer in the garage.  :y :y

not my cup of tea, but my dad had a blue mk2 estate which we all loved - didnt like cold mornings i remember but used to take me, my 2 sisters and 3 cousins in the boot with mum dad aunt and uncle in the seats - great fun for a day out - nowadays it would be mad..it was then too i guess....:y


Yes BJ, quiet a few kids exited from the rear tailgate window when the car was rear ended!! :o :o :o ;)

i also remember a hump back bridge my dad took great delight in accelerating towards and "getting air" over or "hold on - its funny tummy time!" as he called it  ;D

aaah - the 70's 8-)


i think they based the dukes of hazzard on him, come to think of it  :o

My Dad got a brand spanky new white mk2 1600 Super in 1968. I used to sit in the back between the front seats, one elbow on each. Unthinkable today. Then he got a brand new Mk3 1600L K reg. also in white, 1972.
   They were both round the clock & knackered within 3 years. Cortinas were working vehicles as much as the Transits were...still are which is why a rare good one is worth hanging onto! 8-)

A mate in Sunderland e mailed me these pics of his mates saloon. Check the registration nos!! He also sent some of a white estate he's doing up but i won't bore you with those.
     Nice to see two 1966 Cortinas that came from the same showroom in Croydon (where i was hatched) still looking good & going strong. Hoping to photo them together next spring. 8-)
