The closest I came to having a Cozzie was in 1992 a G reg Sapphire in white sorted the cash down & repayments out, they were going to have my 2.8i Capri as part ex then the insurance was going to be £3860 tpft that was my Mum's insuring it

Excellent Post to Nick I enjoyed looking through every picture
I still think Ford lead the way in good looking and sporty cars in the 70's-90's

Being Fords, I suspect that these are the ones that broke down before they even left the factory!! 

Check out picture 25... I think DLK has visited this place before and become 'intimate' with someone over the bonnet of that Granada!!

You wouldn't expect that lot in Dagenham now, most of the old Ford plant has gone and all those cars are in a random warehouse near the new Diesel plant.

Brother used to have a MkII Lotus Cortina. Tuned to the nth and went like s**t off a shovel

Dad took us (4 lads) around europe in a Consul (from new) with a caravan on the back for many years

I had a MkI 1300 sport Escort with a 2 Ltr MkII Cortina E engine & gearbox, Corsair diff (4:1 for top end) uprated chassis, brakes & suspension. Those 2.8 inj Capri's didnt know what hit them from the lights   

Many great memories  . Thanks for this post
