Just won this.

As many of you will know i've been after another Cortina since i sold the biege Mk5 but kept getting sidetracked by anything else that caught my eye & buying Midgets, p6 Rovers & the green military Classic that i still have & will now have to be sold. I'm picking the Cortina up on saturday & if it's good will be a keeper. The seller is an old boy & it's 3rd owner & Louth is only 30 mins. drive. Got plenty of spares for these.
   I know most of you will think i need mental help but i adore my old Fords. Will post some piccies after a good valet. 8-)

Cheers Mark. I'm happily surprised at your opinion. I thought you'd hate it!!! The saloons were mostly sold as fleet/repmobiles so hopefully being an estate this was bought new as a family car so has led a more charmed life. 8-)

tell you what Guy, you could put discs on the front of the mk1 by robbing the struts off your old ford classic as they are a straight swap. ;D ;D ;D

Washing a car, is like making love to a beautiful woman.  caress the bodywork. Breathe softly and gently. And give every inch of it your loving attention. And make sure you've got a nice wet sponge.

wow......   just.... wow.....

i'm not sure whether to  pat you on the back, or call the men in white coats.

(said the former owner of a ford corsair 2.0 V4 , numerous OLD Capri's  V4, V6, and Xflow, and a Hillman Hunter,(holbay)  etc...


i gave up tinkering with classic old cars when i broke my neck, and there started to be long drawn out painful consequences every time i went out and "played" .... on average  spending a week in  bed after merely changing a clutch ....
