the cortinas!

Recommended Posts

Both mk5

Saloon is a 1600 crusader fitted with a 2l pinto. Standard box.

Estate is a 1600l fitted with 2l pinto and 5 speed box and lowed 1" all round on gaz shocks 

 

I have just sold the saloon about 2 weeks ago, but at the time I originally started this thread before I became a paid up member I still owned it

Nice cars Matt, great condition.. Shame you sold the saloon..

Sooo, when's the 2.9 Cossie V6 going  in the estate? :D:yankchain:

 

My dad had a Mk3 Cortina estate years ago, 1.6L auto which was so slow!!  I was also my dad's first automatic, it took him quite a while to remember not to push the clutch pedal down :D

My father had a pale blue 1976 16L mk3 Cortina with a mk4 interior. It was supposed to have been an end of line car and Ford ran out of mk3 interiors so used the new mk4. Whether or not that is true i dont know, but thats the story.

My dad had a Cortina 2 litre Ghia Mark 5 as a company car in 1982, lovely car, as he worked for a Ford dealer he got rid of it and turned up one night in a Sierra !!

 

2 litre GL auto, went like the clappers but bloody ugly !!  :D

Have always been my favourite classic car. 

Sold the saloon to a friend local, and is now being used as a daily driver. I was going to put it into storage for a few years and tart it up a bit but decided just to concentrate on the estate... 

 

Plus the small fact the wife wanted a ride on! 

Can't have it all unfortunately but there we go
